Title: Why can I never make what I set out to make?
Post by: an0n on August 12, 2002, 09:33:06 pm

It started out as a DNA AWACS. Then it turned into a probe. Then it turned into a missile. Then it turned into a Helios looking thingy. Then it turned into the DHD-esq thingy above.

Anyway. I'm stuck for the bottom half. I was thinking machinery and electronics but in what ratio? Lots of pipes and cogs or lots of buttons and lights?

Suggestions, comments, vague copyright infringement warnings?

If you upsize it, it looks almost like a station.  I'm a big fan of tubes and pipes.

I think it looks great. I think it looks like a flying saucer (today's UFOs) mothership. I love it.

give it 20 degrees of smoothing. that'll make the body not look so faceted, unless that's how you want it to look. and now that i think of it, that's one of the only curvy models i've seen that looks good without smoothing.

Hey, that's a pretty cool one, an0n! :yes2: :nod: :yes: (and yes, I know :yes2: doesn't work anymore...)

Starbase is what first hopped to my mind as well, but more along the lines of a Masters of Orion 2 starbase. :) As far as what to add, i'd say a few non-symmetrical tubes/pipes writhing their meandering ways across the otherwise smooth surface of the, ermm.... uhh.... long, cylindrical....uhhh.... Darn you, an0n! You did this on purpose, didn't you?!?
