Well, Mik said he'd do some to it, but haven't heard a word from him yet...

I may do some at some point, if he dosn't show anything.

Try using VAs version of modelview which allows high poly models to be viewed. Here's the download link. Just follow the instructions :)

Click.

I got bored waiting for Mik.


Here's a couple of new pics.  I've starting adding windows and detailing up the forward section.


Along the spar.  I've reduced the size of half the windows along here.


Around the side ports.  One will a beam (AAA), other Hornet battery/Flak emplacement.  That box and connecting, er, section is supposed to be a power conduit running from the engine to the beam cannon.;)

Comments?

Wow! Very purdy!
You deleted one half of it, and are gonna flip the one side when you're done, right? :)
But it really looks like a spaceship now!

Glad you approve, though I do wonder if I've put in TOO many windows...:doubt:

For the record: I've only modelled half, and once it's finished nad UVmapped, I'll use TS6's Mirrior modeller to add the starboard side.;)

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.

Yeah but before TS6 you could have all kinds of problems using TS :D And speaking as one former user of TS3.2 talking to another I knew that Raptor had probably been through the same problems :)

Ahh, gotcha. All you had to say was "TS" in the same sentence as "problem". ;)

All too true Kara, all too true...

Some more Screenies!

Some windows for the bridge.


Another row of windows above the forward engines.


This is how I see the bridge beening laid out.  extra height room with a raised central area for the captain (Think the orginal 'Battlestar Galactica' bridge and you won't go to far wrong;) ).  The red box shows the confines of the bridge, while the green figures are to scale.  The grey lines show the levels of both the decks and the 'cealing' (what is the correct nautical term for that:confused: )


This is just a bit of fun, showing how a human can see out of the (revised) windows.  Each window is 2 meters wide and 0.5 meters high.

Ya, 600 posts!

Okay, here is the 'complete' version.  I've added both a human and a Hercules, both correct scale (1:10).  The human is that little green blob:lol:





This last one...rethinking turret size...dorsal (top) or ventral (bottom) set?(the dorsal ones are a third bigger)

I think the ventral turrets are better. The dorsal turretss seem out of proportion to me.

Thanks for your work, it's looking good! :)
If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.

Err, how many polys is that? Sure, Hi polyfication is awesome, but going overboard is never a good thing.

The wireframe looks fairly efficient, but still, a poly number'd be nice to set my mind at ease:)
