started the basic textures.... you can see where im going with this basic saucer.



So . . . rivets??? on a saucer? lol

trying to think how humans would have rebuilt a saucer in the 50's... thats the look im going for..

so that is that... I dont know how to convert models yet, give me an hour and im sure ill get the hang of that... but now I think i need a challenge.. this was just a few hours messing around... im sure i can build far more complex models, anyone got a request... I will look at them then make the one i prefer the most.

Lol thanks.... But im done with UFO's... I was just messing around trying out new stuff.

im away for a few hours and a whole model with texturesis thrown together. damn nice little mesh and the textures are pretty sharp aswell, damn impressive for a first attempt. The flag is a nice touch aswell.

As for another model to challenge you, take a look in this thread: http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163359546.0.html
as theres a massive selection of designs that havent been touched yet. there has to be something there that catches your eye.


Thanks for the compliments fallenwarior... im looking at that thread now ;)

Oh darn... I was hoping you wre still up for a few UFO's

(the fighter ones  and Mothership from Independance day)

(Also the main bad guy saucers from Anime GRENDIZER and some Saucer Animals to fight, I got ahold of a 18k grendizer recently)
