The Thread of Candle
« on: October 10, 2009, 10:37:00 pm »
at the request of others and there general asking I have made just a thread and only a single thread to post my work, ive started redoing the tiber just because

thats the new engy hull how much better does it look?

I decided instead of having to hand shape it the hard way, an elgated cylinder, a sphere and a sphere where i moved the sides to make way for a rounded back and of course flatended it out ect made for a nicer thing with boolean cut

Much better form than your last bunch of models. I would still be careful of your polycount - making a model with no more than 15k triangles is a good start.

You might want to thicken up those nacelle struts and widen the distance between the nacelles.

These are really looking nice! On the latest one with four nacelles, have you thought about having the nacelle ends face outward instead of inward?

Just a suggestion.. have you considered small dual deflectors on the front of the saucer?  I took a look at the TNG era Constellation and noticed a dual impulse assembly at the back of a superstructure, and I think they use a built-in deflector on the TNG version.  These small dishes have been seen in the past (I remember them on a Galactic Survey Cruiser).  :)

i considered it, but decided i didnt want the dual impulse engines honestly, to TMP for a tos ship lol. As for dual deflectors some like it, I hate it, i dont use any ship with dual deflectors i just hate the look personally

i started some texture work tell me what ya think so far
