This looks like a akira class, really nice work so far

and rengers gets the cookie.
yeah, actually so far it is just a reworking of the P81, but your absolutely right, I am actually trying to create a saucer separating Akira, ever since I saw that article in the Star Trek Magazine, I have wanted to do this.

so far I have done all the easy stuff, like removing the saucer, but I am having trouble adding the new faces in the holes left by it. more updates on the way

interesting!

well, however much I would love to do this project, I am having some trouble with milkshape, so unfortunately, unless someone can finish the models for me, I may have to put this project on hold until I can get a response from Chubalumsoft regarding this bug

Oh, how awesome! Best of luck with this project!

this defenetly takes the cake for the b***ardization of mvam....

this has peaked my interest, a mvam akira sounds wicked,

Hey. What bug are you referring to? I use milkshape quite often so maybe I can help.

If you're referring to adding new vaces to the open spots, just select 3 vertecies at a time and press "f" for face. If it tells you that you can't, then select each vertex (seperately) and weld them together.

Then try it again. If it seems like it does nothing, go to "Face" and then to "Reverse Vertex Order"...or press "Ctrl + Shift + F" for the same thing. You should see the face now.

He he, I don't know if that's what your referring to or not, but if you have any questions that I may be able to help with, ask away.

most fascinating an Akira that can separate. Never heard of this before. Will keep an eye on this

ACES_HIGH · « **Reply #10 on:** January 15, 2008, 07:09:25 PM »

well, according to Alex Jaeger, it was designed to, so I wanted to try it, as far as this bug, it seems to be working ATM, I don't know why, but I will work on it while I can.
here is the link to the thread i posted in Chumbalumsoft's forum,

Word. I usually don?t say anything if I dislike an idea, but... no. Just... no.

cordanilus · « **Reply #12 on:** January 15, 2008, 07:49:24 PM »

Ok, I read your post. I can see how that would be annoying.

Can't help you there, haven't seen that bug.

Hope it gets resolved.

ACES_HIGH · « **Reply #13 on:** January 15, 2008, 08:21:58 PM »

well at this point it is only getting worse, it seems like every time I find my way around something, another ten bugs crop up, after I started doing what you said Cord, the select function stopped working entirely, so at this point I am going to have to concede defeat, I will gladly send what I've got to anyone who wants to finish this model, but I can't and it has way to many errors for me to just use it as is.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 15, 2008, 09:14:09 PM »

Eh? This seems odd...

ACES_HIGH · « **Reply #15 on:** January 16, 2008, 12:33:15 AM »

yeah, I did manage to get it to work on my moms PC now though, so I've fixed most of the errors.

intrepid90 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 16, 2008, 08:28:10 AM »

a seperating akira.
that sounds odd but nod bad ...
lets look what the development will show us ;)

The only reason I can see the Akira MVAMing is to forcibly separate a heavily damaged stardrive from the rest of the ship. This project should be interesting.

I can think of a few good reasons.
anyway, I am making some headway, since a friend gave me a copy of Max3, I just have to figure out how to use it. in the mean time I have been doing some research into this ship, in order to place certain systems
