Attempting the Connie
« on: July 11, 2008, 06:32:22 PM »
Before I get into designing my own ship I decided to have a go at an exsiting ship so I'm giving the re-fit enterprise ago.

I'm posting it here as I'm not releasing it for the game as there are already several better ships out there. I'm just intrested in feedback.

Be gentle I know it is not 100% to scale and detailed

Looks great to me, mate!

Ok, someone has pressed the report function to say this should be in BC modding. However, since he doesn't intend to release it for BC then it should go in the graphics arts forum as a modeling attempt, thus I am moving it there.
I just realised something. I've released over 300 fully modded ships for bridge commander. Bow to your master :D

She's looking great so far, a virtual tribute to the Connie.

Baz, are you, or are you considering, going into a career with 3D Modelling? I ask simply because you produce such work... in such little time... some would lose an arm, a leg, or even their sense of smell to hire you.
Build a game and people will be happy for a few years. Build a community... Well, look at BC. :D

Thanks for the kind words.

I've added the bridge and re-built the nacelles

AHHH, just relalised I forgot to save changes to the mesh. Have to rebuild bridge and sensor arrays.

Oh well at least I've got an idea on how to do it.

Thanks all, if only I could learn how to texture I would be happy.

Though I said I would not release the model for the game I will be putting it on file front in max format and again if anyome wants to turn it into a BC ship they have my blessing

Perhaps you should read the posts also, instead of just looking at the pretty pictures :P

Am I the only one that noticed that the bridge module seems really small compared to the whole saucer? Looking at it closer its about half the actual size.
All hail the messiah!

We bow down before your modeling prowess, Baz. May some of your infinitesimal skill and efficiency rub off on lowly peons such as I. ;)

Great work, especially for a side project.
