Post by: Grey Wolf on April 07, 2002, 07:40:15 pm: Yep. It's from the Honor Harrington books, so it would be Her Majesty's Ship. It's a heavy cruiser with one nasty torpedo broadside...

Post by: Zeronet on April 07, 2002, 09:08:58 pm: I cant really see the ship, need more angles.

Post by: Styxx on April 08, 2002, 09:01:27 am: Sorry, but that ship doesn't look like Devid Weber's descriptions of the Honorverse ships. They're always cylindrical with protusions at the tips where the node clusters are located. A full description would take too long...

Post by: Grey Wolf on April 08, 2002, 04:16:29 pm: I know. I actually based it off a cover shot (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/gtdwolf/pics/skmships.gif), and I'll probably rename it later...

Yeah, this (http://www.honor-harrington.com/wall4-800.jpg) is way that DW describes them. Kinda boring, actually. Great books, though.

I actually prefer the cover art. Much better looking in my opinion. However, reading the section in back of "A Short Victorious War" explains the whole rationale for the other design.

Nah, SEALs are better. :D
On topic: I like the untextured views too, it's very nice. :yes:

Post by: Grey Wolf on April 08, 2002, 10:15:52 pm: Thanks. It's poly-count is actually amazingly low (~60). Admittedly it would be ~120 triangulated, but it's still quite a bit of detail considering this. Weld does wonders :p And this ship is a product of Blender.
