Blender Shot

This is my first attempt at a large model.  I'm trying to make a Terran light carrier. This is also a *very* early shot.  I'm really just looking for some feedback on the general hull shape.

Hm, don't know. Somehow it doesn't give the imagination of a big ship to me. I get more the feeling of a condor-class MK2 (guess that's because of the side-pylons) ;)

Those are engine pods, actually, Starman.  And I'm working on detail, as soon as I get Blender to cooperate again.  It doesn't want to delete certain faces for some reason or another...

Looks like one of those ships from battlestar galactica.

Needs lots more detail before I can really comment. :nod:

*sighs*  I'm working on that right now.  I just can't convince Blender to delete faces so I can rebuild certain parts.

Like I said on IM, it's Pelican-esque. But that's not a bad thing.

If I were you, I'd try to give the out-sticking parts a bit less geometric shape. Perhaps sweep the hull, too. :yes:

This work?  Poly count is up to 690 something when triangulated.

I had somehow gotten 40+ doubled verticies in the model.  One 'remove doubles' on the model and everything started working.  Funny, that...

Finally, another Blender user! nice, btw.

Cobra, I'm going to say this bluntly: I've been using Blender longer than you have.  I'm well aware of how that's supposed to work.  It wasn't working.  Not I didn't know how.  There was a problem with it not doing that when told to.

That error has been resolved.
