Alright, here are the warp struts. Im still deciding on the exact placement of the naccels but they will be mounted underneath for certain.

Didn't have room for the orthographic shots so here they are.

Looking very nice, I especially liked the last of the perspective shots. Cookie for you.

Thanks.

I will be posting pics with the engineering section tomorrow.

EDIT: When I set the model to smooth I noticed a few problems around the saucer rim. How do I fix these?

By doing the smoothing manually. Never use automatic smooth.

yep, Adonis is totally right. Select the polys you want to smooth together, and then smooth them independent from all the others.

Let me elaborate on those rather vague answers.

For the saucer, your going to need many smoothing groups. If you assign one to the top (but not the bridge module), one to the rim, and one to the bottom (excluding the decorative stuff at the very bottom). Beyond that, its really trial and error to get things right. There is other aspects to smoothing, but I don't know them!

Well, hopefully this will be enough.--->http://ruzzy2006.deviantart.com/art/Blender-Smoothing-groups-tut-46039478

The engineering hull is done. I also moved the warp pylons up a fair bit.

Here are some updated perspective shots aswell.

Look at the TOS Connie's deflector to see how to reshape it.

More like odd in a bad kind of funny way.

086gf · « **Reply #35 on:** October 20, 2008, 09:34:14 PM »

I will think about the option.

Ok, on to the next issue, nacelle size and location. I had originally decided to have the nacelles mounted underneath the pylons but, idk it might look better mounted to the side of the pylons(well, some people might).

Until how I figure out how to change a poll you're just stuck by telling me whats better(and more proportionate) for the moment.

limey BSc. · « **Reply #37 on:** October 22, 2008, 03:56:01 PM »

I think size 1 mounted on the end of the pylons looks best.

Also, I personally think the deflector looks cool as it is.

FourChan · « **Reply #38 on:** October 26, 2008, 01:11:46 AM »

Make a model with size two also, two different versions wouldn't be a bad thing

086gf · « **Reply #39 on:** October 26, 2008, 06:45:13 PM »

Ok, i've decided. Im going to do one version with the nacelles size half way between what I have above. The first will be the original mounted underneath version and then a varient with them mounted on the sides. Looking at the pics above and various connie pics the first size is too small and the second size is too big. So, expect atleast two updates during the week(main parts of the nacelles then all the little bits and pieces).
