have constructed the new frame. those are not smoothing issues on the model, because they were not there when I was making it, they showed up after i snapped the shot.

:deadimage
EDIT: I realize now it helps to look at the pics I upload. These were incorrect shots, the second one is the new frame. :oops:

so, now that I messed that part up....

Did you actually build those from scratch or did you manipulate them until they are as we see them now? Because when I first built the Mithra, WAAAYYYYY back then, it never had those issues...

-edit-

I'm also noticing the original textures are still present? If I'm not too mistaken.

those aren't textures, its a blank model.
EDIT: Here's a pic of the newer frame piece

ADD has taken over for a while. completely scrapped everything i had to this point, it was turning out worse than the original.

new saucer frame pic:

edit: Just realized, it looks like the millenium falcon........ :shock:

another update. added siding and a second face to the saucer. beginning to build the platform and the bridge modules.

slow down, spend some more time smoothing out the edges until theyre nice and clean. im sure everyone in the community would prefer quality over a sooner release date, and its a good learning experience

spent 2 hours last night making sure there were no jagged areas, and was defeated by jpeg compression.

the actual model is smoother than that.

What program are you using to save your jpegs? Don't use MSPaint, what ever you do. Use photoshop, or freebies like GIMP or Paint.net, then you can choose the amount of jpeg compression.

laguardia528 · « **Reply #51 on:** June 18, 2008, 06:37:11 PM »

another update. yes i realize there are some (several) smooting errors n the newer pieces, but i threw this together in 20 min. and will fix them when i get back from vegas next week.

laguardia528 · « **Reply #52 on:** June 28, 2008, 08:10:44 PM »

UPDATE: Finished the platform on the saucer dorsal seciton, and added a makeshift deflector for looks. also have begun mapping positions for phaser arrays.

Starting to shape up, hope you come back from vegas with money left

laguardia528 · « **Reply #54 on:** July 04, 2008, 09:51:03 PM »

UPDATE: Back from Vegas with only losing $560 :lol:

added naccels and fixed some mesh errors. the deflector is going, no question, but its there for reference till i make a better one.

Not too bad, I like how this is shaping up.
