Haha - i like your little motion spectrum.

I agree - this cube looks great. Could you post a wireframe?

At the moment Im using C2X-Model. But I was about to ask if someone could make one for me and form a little project with me?  :)

EDIT:

those textures are taken from an original photograph of the cube model. Ive streched it, changed the lighting, added glows... that kind of stuff.

Well, I have been making a new cube for Legacy myself...

...but for making a cannon FC cube, I'd need some better reference pics than those from the movie. Do you have any?

edit: this one uses a retextured variant of the stock Legacy textures. would be interesting to see how this looks with your textures assigned.

Okay I need to know from you guys which model suits the FC Cube best. I tend to go for the second.

First one, or last one?

I'd hit no. 2. Seems more...Borg.

No 1. The second one sort of looks like it's regenerating from hull damage, maybe it's just me, but both appear far better than what's currently available.

Since when wasn't a Borg cube a bumpy annoying intergalactic git :P? It's got less chunks missing than this one here.

2 for the base, but I can't really tell a good difference without the hatch that the Borg Sphere comes out of, speaking of which, will MVAM allow the sphere to come out? :D
