I've been toying with the idea of doing some mods for a while now, but I've been scared of learning how to use a 3D proggy. How stupid I was! I downloaded GMax a few days ago, and it's much easier than I expected. As a result, I'm working on creating a model of the (very rough) sketch I posted in the "Design a Destroyer" thread a few months back.

Anyhoo, I've got to grips with GMax pretty well (or at least I think so), and here's what I've done so far:



I've only done the basic geometry so far, but I think it looks pretty cool. I'm going for a definite Terran feel (I'll try Vasudan stuff later...), hence the sharp angles. I've tried to style it like an old battleship (Google HMS Hood, HMS Vanguard, and HMS King George V in particular), as I think they're badass. :D The prow shape comes from Great War (the actual one, not the one with the Lucy) era battleships like the Repulse and Warspite, and is influenced by the Imperial ships from Battlefleet Gothic.

Anyway, this is what I've done so far - I'd appreciate any comments and feedback, so get posting!

Cheers!

Looks like it has some potential to be a seriously cool ship. Smooth off that nose though.

Oh, and kudos for choosing Max :D

Heh, I tried Truespace and couldn't make head or tail of it. Max is waaaay easier... ;)

As for being similar to the warlock, it's nowhere near the size. It's an advanced destroyer. It's going to be heavily armed, reasonably armoured, and fast. Basically, anything it can't kill, it can run away from...

I don´t like that pointy front. Round it a bit, and shorten it. It´s too long and pointy.
Otherwise, it´s still too early to tell, it still needs a lot of work and details.
No Freespace 3 ?!? Oh, bugger...

funny, I'm switching from TS to Max and am struggling somewhat.

I really like you're ship. I'd be inclined to widen the side pods (plan view)

Cheers. As far as Max goes, I just did the "Power Charger" tutorial that came with it. Has all the basics - extruding, cutting, bevelling, etc. The tutorials zip can be found here: http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax

Swamp thing: it is an early WIP, so I will change things. The bow is rather large atm, so it'll get reduced slightly, and probably blunted a little bit. And obviously, I've still got to put in lots of details - the underside isn't done at all, and I've got to put more on the superstructure and along the sides as well. Bear in mind it's only ~250 polys right now, so there's loads still to do.
