One day wiley, youve gotta teach me some of your tricks. :p

Amen to that! I wouldn't mind learning how to model like this!

For saucers, use spheres, but move the rows of points to form a saucer-like shape. Sharp edges don't look that good in BC, use champhered boxes with a fillet of .2. The Excelsior engineering was a tapered sphere, and probooleaned in half. Plus, it is always good to get full schematics of the ship whenever possible, as well as reference pics to make a very accurate model.

Sorry, what do you mean by me not being fair? Was there a secret modeling contest or something? Oh yea, thanks for the cookie

If there was, I'd have forfeited the moment you put those babies up. Hell, have another for making me like the Ent-J! And keep up the great work!

Maybe one day I'll be able to match the quality of these in character modelling.

I'm thinking about starting on some of the smaller ID4 ships- the troop transport and the alien fighter.

Man, those fighters were so awesome. I had a toy of one when i was little (They came with floppy disks with mini games, anyone remember them?) I think I still have it somewhere, and I can only imagine a swarm of them mauling a Sovvie. :lol:

The toy I have (I still have all of the pieces) you knock down New York skyscrapers with a small city destroyer which shot little plastic balls. It also included a little alien fighter and an F-18 fighter. The whole thing was inside of the the alien's heads which opened up to reveal the city.

How about a couple of borg cubes versus the mothership?

Here's another ship to add to the ID4 Alien ships- the Troop Transport.

19.5k polys

I found a good side view from one of the movie props- I figured that these transports are about 130-145 decks in height!

shadow06 · « **Reply #32 on:** September 26, 2008, 06:02:02 PM »

wow wow wow looks like bc ships models polys going to up very good

one question do you plan to make other ship class high polys? like sovereign-galaxy-nova-defiant-constitution-excalibur and others?

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #33 on:** September 26, 2008, 06:34:30 PM »

Oh wow Wiley...you HAVE been a busy boy. Just don't neglect your other projects for this one. lol

And cookie for making the Enterprise-J look good. THAT takes pure talent.

I'll keep that in mind, but I used the spline to make the saucer section of my ship which I'll be working on after my ship pack.

This is turning out great and I can't wait to see more
