Marky the windows look crooked is it a distorted render?

I think it's simply the perspective, I'm not sure, but I think the forward windows on the Danube class (and thus the render), aren't completely flat, they have an angle about a third of thew way down.

Brilliant stuff so far, can't wait to see how this turns out!
Did you know I'm on Twitter?

Nick,

majormagna is correct, the windows have a fold in them and they are not flat mate.

Dalek,

Nice to know matey :-) you gonna start building stuff again too??

I will keep building the model and keep the detail up, and smooth it out, i will spend allot of time refining the mesh to the best of my abilties afterward to ge the poly count down. I will also release with various texture sizes etc

Thanks guys.

Ok, so I have been not happy with the runabout for the past 3 hours not being able to fully work out what was wrong, then worked out I had tapered the front far too much so the whole shape then had a knock on effect, for the windows etc at the front.. (mabey Dawg spotted summat..  good nose dawg)  spent a an hour sorting that, and now I am happy to progress with the rest of the mesh.

This will happen when your eyballing a single picture of the model form the series  :P

Thanks for the comments fellas.

  I have been so busy lately and it's not going to change any time soon.. but I have been working on her when I have had the chance, I have mainly concentrated on cleaning up the model (allot) and smoothing her out as you can see. She did weigh in at 8.5k polies she now sits at a healthy 3.5k polies. I still have more cleaning to do and more detail to add, but I cannot see the poly count going over 5k as a finished mesh. I am enjoying this one so I intend to finish her. I will probably use the name U.S.S PROPHET or summat like that, like a special edition runabout to celibrate the first ship through the wormhole or summat..
