Another update. This ship now has twice as many polies as the original. I think its worth it as it is a battleship, thus wont be seen often. I was hoping to have it ready tomorrow, but with the additional development maybe this weekend.
This ship shows my personal style perhaps more than any previous with the exception of my 1st ship ever, the USS Talisman. Just to give you some background and my personal perspective on modeling. Modeling can be approached from 2 main angles. As art in new designs and textures, as a form of expression, or it can be approached from the science angle. Which I believe is more of reproducing already existing ships, such as the Galaxy class for example. Skill wise reproducing existing designs to exactly the original schematics may in fact be harder then doing up ones own design. Of course kitbashing involves both viewpoints. Myself, I lean towards designing my own, though I got away from that after getting so much resistance to my 1st ship, which in hindsight I should have referred to as a new race rather then pawning it off as a federation ship. So I did up a few ships from FASA and other designs, but from here on out it will be mostly new designs extrapolated from existing races. Mainly secondary races which don't get as many releases as Feds, Klinks and Roms.
Ugh- just though of something eles to add to this mesh
Might be a few days.
