Beauty Shot: (I hope):

The above pic is the first modifications of today. I took the suggestion about shortening the back... in fact i shortend the entire rear section.

Re-done the secondary hull (AGAIN)...

Promised myself that i would NEVER make a VOY-like deflector.

Hm...I do have a suggestion to make her look better, but making that would certainly eat you alive... If you wanna do it I'd need a side and bottom renders.

If you don't try... You don't win. If i fail, i can just admit it. If i don't, Im most likely happy, so here you go:

Here ya go, basically, making the deflector area something similar to the Century's. No need to remove anything from the model for as is. Only some reshaping of the deflector housing.

anazonda · « **Reply #44 on:** September 23, 2008, 08:23:24 AM »

i can do that... I think...

Its certainly flowing more towards the back now.

As for the deflector, I agree with what Adonis said for the most part, but don't think the sides should come quite that close. It's never looked quite right to me on the Century.

anazonda · « **Reply #46 on:** September 23, 2008, 09:15:42 AM »

I'll figure it out.

I have plenty of backups, so if i screw up... i can always fix it again...

BTW... thanks for the support so far everyone

Aeries · « **Reply #47 on:** September 23, 2008, 11:07:26 AM »

Well, you're in the best place for support dude.

Adonis has some great ideas so I think it's worth a shot.

Hmmm yeah I agree.. that deflector would make for a massive improvement on an already cool model.

nicely drawn adonis

That was like uber-fast drawn lol just to show the general idea of what I had in mind.

Ok. Obviously im not done with the modyfications to the secondary hull/deflector area yet, i thought however that getting a opinion to see if im getting close.

So please take a look.

Thanks

Adonis · « **Reply #51 on:** September 24, 2008, 06:32:56 AM »

Not quite, the curve down was supposed to start at the same height as the inner ring that stands out on the bottom.

limey BSc. · « **Reply #52 on:** September 24, 2008, 06:42:09 AM »

I think that's pretty cool!

anazonda · « **Reply #53 on:** September 24, 2008, 06:42:44 AM »

Ok. So should i "raise" the entire inner circle or just the area for the deflector?

anazonda · « **Reply #54 on:** September 24, 2008, 07:08:32 AM »

Just had a closer look at the century and i think i know what you mean now.

Stay Tuned

Just the deflector area.

Added a wireframe pic to give a impression of the polys/verts.

missed the wireframe pic, sry...yes that looks like maybe 2k polies...anyway it's looking good.

MarkyD · « **Reply #57 on:** September 24, 2008, 02:15:38 PM »
