Got the restraining bolt areas done, and yes that is the way they look. And you are also looking at just how close I want to be able to get to the ship as well. poly count on the engine so far is 15,400. Just about finished with it.

Most Excellent.... Now I'm kind a wondering what this whole thing will look like when it's done. I know th poly count will be high ... but, just the same this is a great experiment in seeing what kind of detail can be acomplished when someone puts their mind to it.

Thanks for sharing !

OMG!! That is awesome

No pictures but progress report I guess. I tried for most of the night to model the holes in the grill thats on the inside of the trench of the warp drive. Did not do to well, and poly count went thru the roof as well, over 100k. so that is one area I may wind up textureing. Got the impluse drive done and the connecting dorsal done tho.

May try again on the warp grills, if I can figure out a way to do it without going to high on the polies.

One other thing, I am not sure if you are aware of this, but the warp engines have a slight taper front to back. They are not cylindrical.

Otherwise your detail work is looking very nice. Keep up the good work.

Update windows have been cut in, and now comes the fun part of cleaning them up

hye bud ... take 'er easy ... it'll come... Just hang in there !!

Khalee · « **Reply #10 on:** March 21, 2004, 06:17:50 am »

you know that old saying? leave well enough allone well I never listen to old sayings

Rebuilt the warp drive, and the intercoolers and made them look much better. so here is a update.

Khalee · « **Reply #11 on:** March 21, 2004, 06:17:58 pm »

I got PIMPELS And Im proud of it

15600 polys just fo this part

Khalee · « **Reply #12 on:** March 21, 2004, 10:08:05 pm »

Well progress update tried to model the holes in the grill that runs in the trench, 256 holes all together, Max did not like that

, wouldnt even save the file either.

But ill keep trying.

gonna be fun when I get to the saucer grid lines but I may just leave it smooth, like it was in the show. Poly count alone wouldl probably reach quarter mill, with just puting in the windows and modeling the lettering and stuff, and I dont think the game could handle a quarter mill poly ship.

Khalee · « **Reply #13 on:** March 21, 2004, 10:41:17 pm »

Well max just does not like me trying to cut 256 holes into a plane

. May have to do it the other way I was trying, but that will be a lot of polies to clean up afterwords GRRR.

Khalee · « **Reply #14 on:** March 22, 2004, 12:02:00 am »

Well Success!!!!

I got the warp grills modeled 89,000 polys for one Engine that is before cleaning it up tho. But now I cant post pictures

. Damn web servics. Its allways something. Modeling the markings will add probably a couple more thous to it.

Khalee · « **Reply #15 on:** March 22, 2004, 12:13:46 am »

Ok its workeing again so here you go the picture

Atrahasis · « **Reply #16 on:** March 22, 2004, 12:22:29 am »

Great job Khalee!

One thing to note though: The part known as the "reactor loop" is not cyclindrical as you depict it here....I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a flar rectangular shape.

Khalee · « **Reply #17 on:** March 22, 2004, 12:36:41 am »

Really? Hmm, gonna have to look at it again, The sinclar drawings im useing show it as a pipe with the ends bent down. Which is why I did it by lofting a circle on a line and ffd'ing it into shape.

Khalee · « **Reply #18 on:** March 22, 2004, 04:51:50 am »

Well added the front grill to see what it looks like, but weee doggys it went to 140k polies.Even with cleaning it up I wont save that many polies, so I just might leave that detail off.
