Legacy class

[Darkthunder]

Thanks man. I downloaded your model into Max and I must say it's very good. There's no way I could come close to that quality (I can't even get the basic outline of the saucer). Does anybody know some good online tutorials (perhaps one for a modern (excelsior or newer) starship)?

Check google for "3D Studio Max Tutorials". I'm sure you'll find plenty.

I checked but there didn't seem to be any starship ones. Perhaps if I find a car to model or somthing else.

Heres a link on how to model the old constitution class, not a bad one either

But I don't know where to start. Yes I have to ask the original creator if I can do it, but my modeling skilles are not so good. One the other hand I've found some pictures off the front, rear, Up, down, left and right. (I think you call it diffently).

Hey, could you post those pics here? I was thinking of having a go at it.

That's good to hear. Hear the are. There in a zip file.

I've lways loved this ship is just screams classic design.

Don't worry guys, i'll still have a go at it but it may be a while until I start. I'm gonna try a few simpler ships first (Borg ships, Connie, etc).

I've decided to go with Kaden's mesh. Although I could get the saucer section perfect, I couldn't do the stardrive. So i'll use this ship to learn UVW mapping and some scripting and then I can have a go at creating my own ship in the future. Once I make some progress i'll start a WIP.

Excellent news, Luke. Hit me up on MSN if you need any assistance. :]

edit: just not with texturing, since I've never really done it...

Thanks Aeries, I will.
