Topic: I'm back!!...with a WIP even UPDATE 3/25/05 (Read 1635 times)

Well, after messing with this stupid computer for weeks, I'm pretty sure that it's running cool enough, just a bad sensor or a screwy BIOS...anyway, the heatsink is cool to the touch after puter on for hours under load, so...

OK, now, I was asked to do a ship by MP I believe, and I've started working on it, but I'm stuck, since we only have 1 view to work with. I need suggestions for the details that aren't shown, so please put your thinking caps on. 1st pic is the one I have to work with, the other 4 are the wip.

Hmmm starting images nice very nice.

As for being stuck isnt this vessel essentially a cross between an Excelsior and an Ambasador?

Now that looks nifty

Was thinking- for nacelles, just take some existing Ambassador nacelles, and stretch them out around 150-180%, and on the top, stop the blue "grill" about halfway back and have normal hull behind it.

Looking good!

Could any of the designers come up with a basic design for the aft of the vessel / nacelle coupling arrangement just to speed this along?

OK, this is what I came up with for this...what do you think? BTW, she's at 1814 polies right now without the nacelles.

It looks fantastic. With only that one pic to go on , you did one awesome job. As for missing details... I would say look to the Excel and Amb and pick and choose the finest features from each design.

Very very very nice. Can't wait to see her with clothes once the mesh is finished.

OK, have some nacs on and started the texturing...just chose a reg and name at random, as more a placeholder than anything, but if y'all like it I'll leave it.

The nacs need some work, but wanted to show the progress.
