WIP: USS MANTA former Codename Chip // Most recent update: 05-01-2010

Ok. This is my first REAL model so don't be too harsh when giving critique. Thanks.

So. This ship is a ship that lies somewhere between the Sov and the Century, and has inspiritional elements from both.
Once done it should be released as a equal of the Akira of it's time, or a small tactical cruiser.

As you can see it still need some work (for one the nacells are missing). But I have plenty of time.
Also I don't have a name for her yet.

(EDIT: Because i forgot.) So far it has 1668 Polys according to 3DS, and is a single shape so far.










(EDIT: Because of the "Polys question".)

Ok. Positive so far :D.

Anyways. This model has taken me about 4 weeks with about 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. That should be some indication of when the model is done.

Then I have to start to learn how to put textures on and add hardpoints. So I geuss it is time to re-awaken SBP07.

That's good work so far. Even for a beginner.
You should keep your good work up.

Just need to sort this out first: This is not the actual "first ship" i made. I made two before but... well... Basically the models were good but they were around 50k polys and impossible to texture to say the least.

I went to tutorialized.com and now im back to modeling.

For the same reason I ask: Poly count?

The outer edge of the saucer could do with smoothing out a little. Other than that, it's looking sweet :D

Nice.  2 suggestions.

1. Nacelle pylons look to skimpy.  Maybe give 'em more meat?
2. Secondary hull, underside, looks a little basic.

Question 1: What does "Skimpy" mean. Since im Danish I Don't know all the slang words.

Question 2: What would you suggest (for the pylons)? I take suggestion (just don't promise that ill use em :P )
