Azel's Romulan Warbird (WIP)
« on: March 18, 2005, 06:43:38 pm »
Okay, it finally happened.  I tried my hand at modeling something and decided to publicly show the WIP.  I chose one of Azel's designs for two reasons: 1) I really like his work and 2) I am partial to the Romulans.

Here's a few screen shots to shown where I am with this ship.  Comments are welcome but keep in mind that this is really my first attempt at making a ship from scratch.  Oh by the way, the textures are nothing more that a green colored version of Azel's design.  Also, I haven't gotten the low poly gig down yet.  At any rate, here's what I have got to show for now.

Unfortunately I have been extremely busy and haven't found time do do much of anything fun.   :(

Antivyrus:  Thanks for the comments.  You'll be pleased to know that it was your work that inspired me to try my had a modeling.  In my opinion this thing is still way too high in the poly count department (~10,000) but I am going to try and get it down somewhat.

Glad everyone likes it.  I will try to work on it when time allows.

Regards,

Pepperman
