Ok, here's another model: the SDF Orc

(http://w1.520.telia.com/~u52019065/Orc.jpg)

It is supposed to be a terran shivan hybrid... what do you think of it???

Cool concept!  How many polys?

Quite a few. I've noticed that the .dxf is not a good way of improving the polycount.

I know, when I fixed the symmetry, that the poly count was 500-600.
I hate the .dxf format. flipped faces and stuff. :shaking:

Yep, the polys are about that scale... its the usual... for modern machines :)

You're not the only one to hate .DXF, but that's the only one I can work with right now... :( Goddamn Blender... :mad2:

Not hugely keen on the boxes on the sides but they might look better when they are textured. What are they for anyway?

Apart from that it looks pretty good. It definately looks half-shivan. :)

Not sure about your modeller, but I know TS1 likes to make double sided faces when exporting to DXF so you might want to double check it. Max and GMax can import DXF files while fixing the double faces, but GMax won't export without getting a gamepack.

Somehow it reminds me of the Hamburg Assault Carrier...never converted that ship, but posted it some time ago in this forum.

Nice... With this one I won't piss you off with messages on the mobile! [Reminds of Njord] :wakka:

Nice one! Oh, I still have the design of the GTF Rapier to give to you! You'll see... The drawing is bad but the ship's cool!  :nod:

Nice, very nice. It looks vasudan in some bits too.

The box in the side is a missile pod, the one in the bottom is an "air vent" (I know... no air in space, but it looks cool... :D)

Don't even mension the Njord!!! It will look great with the textures that I'm planning to give it (when I know how to do it :rolleyes: )

Neon: yeah, your talking about it for 6 months now, and I haven't seen a thing....... :rolleyes:

Really nice... Quite unique. :)

that air vent could be used to intake the cold space outside to help cool of engines and such

I was going to point that one out too but I think I`ve already used up my quota of pedantry this week. :D
 Any more and I`m going to start annoying people :)

Well, I still have my credits for the whole week... :D

And Raven2001: It's a nice model. The thing on the side is very similar to that on the Ravana. :wink:
