Um, you cant recess towards something i dont think, i dont know what you mean. Do you mean pull the wings down and in towards the body?

Maybe try adding a few more diagonal lines - they tend to look better than flat ones IMO... the front of the side 'blades' may look a bit odd when textured, maybe....

No, it's not the A-10 of space. You'll see that soon enough! THis ship isn't it though. It is very good, but the wings need to, well, be shaped like wings instead of boxes.

Post by: Styxx on August 07, 2002, 03:59:30 pm: There's a problem with the general design feeling of the ship - in places it is boxy, in places it tries to be curvy, without a smooth integration. Add more detail to the boxy parts, I'd suggest.

Post by: Zeronet on August 08, 2002, 10:13:41 am: I'll probably end up getting rid of it and doing it again, there is a severe problem with one of the wings, if you look at the 2nd to last pic you'll see that line on the large wing, thats suppose to be straight then vertical like the other wing, but its not and i cant fix it. Anyhow im gonna redo it taking into account the good advice i,ve received :)
