you should get rid of the squashed hemispheres, they don't fit with the ship, pus I suspect you put them there just to fill in  large gaps :doubt:

Nope, they are part of the original design. More detail will be added to them later.


And here's a bit of an update, slapped the turrets on just to check it out:

Get rid of the turret reds. Make them the same teal as the ship's glows.


How many polys IS that thing now?
Webpage. Yes.

Erm, I think I've mentioned that I'm only working on the mesh itself right now, those materials are all placeholders...

And it's a little bit over 100k, but most of the detail is not replicated. It would be something around 4 times that if I replicated it properly.

EDIT: Oh, and most of those polys are from the turrets. I'll have to rework them to reduce the polycount.

Either those turrets are extraordinarily huge or the ship is a lot smaller than I imagined. Or maybe I'm talking nonsense about a subject I know absolutely nothing about.

And even if it's just temporarily, do get rid of the red. Doesn't take much time, and makes it look a lot better.

Ok, next time I put the turrets in I'll remove the red. :p

And here's a smallish update, didn't have much time to work on it further. Some fixes on the plating and started on the shuttle bay.

SERIOUSLY...! | {The Sandvich Bar} - Rhino-FS2 Tutorial | CapShip Turret Upgrade | The Complete FS2 Ship List | System Background Package

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Spent the whole night yesterday running a damn antivirus on my comp, since it was acting strangely, hence the lack of updates today. Oh, and area shadows rule.

Icky. I've only ever caught one virus before, and it was through a BBS on my brother's old 486. :D Anyway, have you considered getting those weapons of yours firing?
