Re: Model Help: Rotational parts
I'll give you step by step instructions on how to de-stretch tilemaps in 3DStudio max, but unless you're using that I can't really offer any tips other than "look it up". I'm sure the many Blender users here will gladly give you pointers to how to un-warp the tiling on the model as well..

That will go a long way to making the thing not look like someone just didn't bother even aligning tiles...which is pretty much and unforgivable atrocity.
I mean, if you're going to tile rape a modle at least make sure the tiles aren't horribly distorted... :sigh:

Re: Model Help: Rotational parts
I'd rather go into replacing the model in all honesty. Modelling is something I will never be good at but Texturing would be a skill I'd like to learn.  :sigh: Replacements ideas would be nice if you have any ideas.

Re: Model Help: Rotational parts
Well, you could always go to the unholy ways of kitbashing if you don't thing you'll ever learn how to model.
Combine like, the Setekh's rotating arrays with some other Vasudan ship...say...the tilemapped sobek somehow? XD

If you do it well people won't even notice its an abomination!

Don't think the Vasudan design aesthetic lends itself to spinny bits all that well.
