keep the double deflector

agreed, it's so bright, so vivid.

Hehe.. well, I had an idea, did a quick test texture for a single deflector again. I'll use the same pattern when I resplit it, but now I'm torn... I like how this one looks too.

Remember, no matter how bright that one looked, it wasn't textured yet. Textures on a deflector make all the difference, I think.

I'll post some more later probably, need to build the bridge up still, and I'm gonna have to reduce the model a bit I think, or start working on a low detail version before I get too carried away. This one's already hitting close to 14k, and I don't even have the hull done, let alone details like phasers. I'll probably cut a bit out of the chamfered areas, and keep this as a close-up model for the highest level of detail.

Aww, it's happy to see me!

Exactly. I was typing up a reply before you responded. What I wanted to say was that I like the style, but the shape could use some improvement. I would round the top more so it looks a bit more like an O than a D. Just a bit though. The Intrepid deflector is a good example of the shape I mean.

I fancy it the way it is. It's unique.

FarShot · « **Reply #125 on:** August 02, 2010, 11:35:59 PM »

I'm reminded of happy plane.

Chronocidal Guy · « **Reply #126 on:** August 03, 2010, 12:03:23 AM »

I'd forgotten all about happy plane! Good times...

Ok, the Happyprise has been remodeled to have the split one again, just to compare.

Colors and such are nowhere near final, I might actually go with a sort of gold/yellowish like the Sovereign. But I like blue ones better.

In other news, the nacelles are closed up now, and I can start on the bridge and shuttle bay areas.

I personally think it looks better the other way, It flows better with the design. Maybe do something with the very center. Make that look more like a solid dish, like on a Galaxy, instead of illuminated.

Love what you have done so far on the ship.

Great job.

I like it the way you have it now. The color of the deflector depends on what color the hull is IMO. Right now I like the Blue.

Psyco Diver · « **Reply #129 on:** August 03, 2010, 12:30:38 AM »

I like them both, they are both unique

Chronocidal Guy · « **Reply #130 on:** August 03, 2010, 01:32:35 AM »

Ok, think I like this better, the pattern continuing that far into the center looked too busy... this makes a nicer balance.

moed · « **Reply #131 on:** August 03, 2010, 01:42:31 AM »

Definitely looking better. Not that it didn't already look awesome anyway.

Just a suggestion... not to go overboard or anything but how about a 3 split deflector design... maybe a triangular shape in the middle.

Anyhow, this is a sweet model... it's real good to have you back CG.

FarShot · « **Reply #132 on:** August 03, 2010, 07:53:46 AM »

I think it's too cramped in there for three. It looks fine as is. Though I think the brown trim clashes with the blue.

Gigity gigity!

AdmiralKathryn · « **Reply #134 on:** August 03, 2010, 02:51:43 PM »

I love this design! I like both Deflector shapes but had a thought on the single one, I think it would look quite good with a raised part in the middle, a bit like the Intrepid Deflector with the blue surrounding it.

TheConstable6 · « **Reply #135 on:** August 03, 2010, 03:38:58 PM »

I say kick the split...

Dalek · « **Reply #136 on:** August 03, 2010, 03:41:48 PM »

Considering the general shape of the space of the deflector, either design would look fine.

I think either deflector will look good on this beauty. Now this should have been the Luna Class design for the USS Titan. I'm sure Captain Riker would have definitely approved over the one that was actually chosen.

Wholeheartedly don't agree. This is a beautiful design but I really like the design of the Luna class... and so did the many, many who voted for it to be the Luna class.

But that's just my opinion.

I like the way these deflector designs are going.

You know what...I can almost see an "F" on there if you know what I mean.

That is an awesome design.
