Xindi WIP
« on: June 30, 2004, 08:59:11 pm »
Hi, I wanted to show you one of the Xindi ships I'm working on.
It's the Aquatics ship.
It still needs a lot of work (including all the bubbles-like windows...) so use your imagination (a lot  ;D )



What do you think?
I want to know if I'm going in the right direction.

That's great start. She's very unique among starships, being the home for an aquatic species. I'll be keeping an eye out for this one.

Hi, Thanks to all for your comments. I'll post an update asap.
The poly count is 4k now. And it won't be much more because it still needs more detail but I must reduce the poly count in a few areas.
I wasn't sure about this because it's the first ship I've ever done with Splines and I'm glad you like it.

Thanks to ALL again,  :) :) :)

Hehe, that's really very very good, no better even - I'd say it was fabulous and I would be very produ to have created such a mesh! You have come on so well, you thrash my humble excuses for meshes! :)

Hi, here you have more renders. Most of the work were done to reduce the poly count in some areas and detailed more in others. The poly count now is 3k6
I'm just starting with the textures....






Hope you like it.

Hi, One question:
How about this hull pattern? Does it looks too water-like?
And is the green part too dark?
(well, that was more than one question, sorry  ;D )



Tell me what you think,

 :) I think it looks about right to me, :thumbsup: :thumbsup: If any thing the green ( In my humble uninformed opinion,), Could be just a little darker. It probably mute the water look you where talking about.
 But then and again i probably don't know what I'm talking about :) :lol:
At any rate i think she looks beautiful !!!

Well, I'm glad you like it and thanks for your comments.!!!

Anyways, this ship will be much easier to retexture than my previous releases (without remaping) I learn this the hard way  :P . So I guess I will be able to change the colours if somebody wants or I can release two sets of textures...

More to come soon,

I was having some final exams  :help: and also I'm having a few problems in my job  >:( ...so my mind's been in another world...  :smackhead:
Yet, I'll do my best to have it finished after this weekend.

Sorry for the delay. I don't like showing a ship and then don't release it. It is very impolite.
