USS Acheron WIP
« on: December 27, 2007, 10:47:24 am »
Hey guys,

while mapping the mustang and learn some lightmapping for the elysion,
I worked on the last few days on these one.

If you have suggestions, please feel free to post it here :)

It looks an aweful lot like the Achilles from Dom Wars. Nice texture work though  :)

Personally I don't think it looks like either the Achilles or Intrepid... it looks like a new class entirely :P

Saw this ship at BCCentral and I still say the ship looks awesome thus far. And whatever you do, don't get rid of the smaller warp grills on the nacelles. Gives the ship it's own unique look.

Looks like a glorified Intrepid with a dash of Akira.

I like it.   :thumbsup:

 Nor it's stars cease to shine on the brave.

sorry for the lag of updates on this one.

I have finished the mesh and done some texture work on it.
Currently this one is a bit deferred, because I first want to finish the elysion,
but sometimes I find some time to work on this :)

Very nice design - She looks sleek, elegant, and like she can get "bidness" done. The textures are looking very nice as well. What's the poly count so far? And where do you have a pic of the Elysion you wrote about?
