Unless of course, I use other means :drevil:

Looks like 2 Missouri class battleships sellotaped together, and yet, if I were a capship commander, I'd be very nervous of one of them ;)

update. All textures complete. Some of this shots were WIP when I took 'em, the last one is the finalized version.





As you can see, a few specular issues.....


But then, I think I got it right :D. A pretty ominous-looking ship when it's in the dark :nervous:

Somehow I'm expecting the thing to have wheels, because it looks like a tank.

It desperatly wants volume, and a shape.

Awesome, but the weapons are too big on such a small body. The ship has no individual form, all it is is a bunch of detailed turrets.

While it isn't so bad in the renders, you will have to arrange the turret-arms now in the viagra-way (standing right up) in order to let them work properly ingame, which will really suck on this model :(

I dont quite get you on this one.....

Should I try to tone the turrets down a bit, perhaps increasing the total visible surface area? Is that what you are referring to?

It looks like a rectangle with guns on it. On pontoons. Hence the riverbarge-ness.

Somewhat yes. But what I'm talking about, is that it requires a unique shape now-a-days. This is in fact just one very nicely done, rectangularly shaped cube (yeah, geometry terms evade me). Those went out with the second mission of Wing Commander 4.

As said, it's a good model for a first time, but the unique shapes are where it's at, and this is...the basic of basics.

I'm looking forward to a more complex one from you, the last screenshot looks awesome, if the model had a new cutting unique shape (like latest works of Swamp, etc.)

Yes, I like that, it has a lot more character, which is actually quite important in a campaign :)
