Fire away.

Very good start! BTW are you using the concept art as a guide?
R
-
In some places. A lot of the concept art is really, really.. odd.
I'm mostly using it for random thing that slopes upwards on the starboard port side of the hull in the retail model. I'll also be using it for the cargo container clamp.
Rest is mostly going by texture detail.
-
Hey, what a surprise! Nice work so far.
Interestingly.. this seems inverted (L/R) compared to what we have in the MediaVPs. We'll have to investigate that.
-
That's... :wtf:
Might be something with the importer/exporter.
You're right, it's the other way around in PCS. No problem though, I'll just flip it.
-
I like pretty much the whole thing, especially the Hexagonal/round compromise. Nicely done! :yes:
-
Good to see this being worked on. It's sorely in need of an upgrade. Also, nice compromise between curviness and sharp edges.
-
Beautiful.
-
Some more progress. Is somewhere around 5.2k polies at the moment.

Also switching to tinypic because it doesn't resize **** quit as badly as an unpaid photo****it account.
-
photobucket resizing your **** = ur doin it wrong.
set it to max filesize instead of max dimensions.
-
Oh hey, the Ma'at looks like more than a tan brick now. :D
-
Don't forget to put the cargo lock back on the side there. It's about the only part taht makes the design interesting, other than that, bang up job.
-
yeah, this is coming along nicely.

Not much more left to do other than the cargo clamp and turrets, the latter I have no idea how to go about doing seeing as how two of them are in the weirdest spots and have the weirdest shapes possible.
-
I don't think there'd be much of a problem keeping the overall strip shape of the fore and aft turret, with how good the Ma'at is looking now I think you'll be able to pull it off pretty easy.
-
For me, it's cool :yes:.
-
I can't believe I'm saying this. . .
this Vasudan ship feels too Terran; I'm hoping the textures will fix that.
-
There is nothing Terran about a box.
-
Even the retail Ma'at looks Terran. In fact, the aside from the tan color, there is nothing Vasudan about it at all.
IRC, there was a reskin for the Ma'at to make it a Terran ship... It looked perfectly Terran.
-
Whether or not it looks Terran is beside the point. It definitely looks like a Ma'at.
-
I'd suggest trying to incorporate more aspects from
(http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/images/PVFr_Ma%27at.png)
As it definitely looks fairly alienish.
-
Also, try making the cargo clamp movable. It can be done, and could look interesting.

Planned on it already.
And yes, I know it looks terran. The retail Ma'at looks terran aside from the textures, as somebody else pointed out already.
-
I've passed to model on to mjn mixael as I no longer have the time to work on it. As far as I'm concerned however the mesh is nearly complete and all that's really missing is the cargo clamp.
-
Sweet!
-
It doesn't look like a tilemapped brick. It's not FreeSpace!
On a non-sarcastic note, that looks absolutely brilliant. I can't wait to see the finished product.
