USS Acheron WIP (update 02/25/08)

[admiral horton]

love the design

[Aeries]

Come to think of it, I see a real design lineage here...

Century Class = Soveirgn replacement.

Raptor = Akira replacement.

Vivance = Intrepid replacement.

Ancheron = Achilles replacement.

Cyea... it all fits...
At least in my head...

-Aeries.

it might be long enough, but perhaps more narrow at the end.  It looks good as is, I'm just making a suggestion for something that might be worth trying.

of course its worth trying, but imo its even now quite on the long side.
anyway its up to rengers.

[rengers]

Thanks all for the suggestions and comments

I think I have finished the mesh, I went again over it and changed some little things, rounded some edges
and killed some errors. The most changes aren't really visible, but I thought I show you how it looks when
it's finish

I will start with mapping very soon, but the textures have to wait until I have finished the Elysion, so thats
maybe the last update for some time

C&C's are of course welcomed and appreciated

PS: the ship is mirrored at the moment, so don't care about the black line in the middle

Nice aerodynamic shape, and the roolbar looks somewhat like the DS9 runabouts. Good combination of ship designs.  Nice work.

She looks like she could get the living heck beaten out of her, and still come back screaming, "GIMME SOME MORE!!!"

I love it. Aerodynamic, yet rather bad-@r53. She has my respect, fer sure.

*whistles* Wow, sleek as a blade.  I can't wait for the finished textures.

I have to second that.   :shock:

And that quote deserves to be in a signature!

[Jay Crimson]

She starts to strike me as a pocket battleship.

[rengers]

I know that I have said that the textures for this have to wait until I have finished the Elysion,
but I just couldn't resist

My most attention goes at the moment to the elysion, and that I can finally finish her, but
sometimes I just need something diffrent to work on

Like I said, I wanted to put this ship in vivace and century class area, I hope that I was successful so far.

If you have ideas and suggestions, it would give me great pleasure if you post it here

You have some wonderful work here, and yes, you have certainly succeeded in creating a vessel that flows with the Century era. She's sleek, clean, fresh and sharp. Your textures look good, and the only thing I can suggest (assuming this isn't just more evidence of my need for glasses... ) Is higher-resolution textures, as the ones you have right now look a tad blurry to me... again, I may just be needing that prescription... Lol.

Again, awesome work.

-Aeries.

[rengers]

hm, I use 2048 textures, but the renders wasn't that good, maybe this one is better

[Aeries]

Ahh...
Yep, time for Aeries' glasses.

[rengers]

ok, I have ported her to 3ds max, and things gets better

Pretty pretty!  I can't waitt to fly her!
