Yes, i know what you mean. I had the same thougt about the sec hull yesterday, but then maybe the pylons Need to be sweeped back, so that the ship is more balanced. I'll post a pic from the side view asap as it is now.

As for a paint scheme i may do a mix between the kelvin and the JJprise, as i think the JJOberth was designed between the Kelvin and the JJprise (as seen in the nacelles).

That would be good.
Are those impulse engines final? Something about them (or the aft section in general) doesn't look very JJprise-like.
I guess rule-of-cool would dictate some oversized extruding exhausts or something...

Shortned the prime hull, made the saucer smaller and gave some more lengh to the pod
enlarged the impulse drive for more JJ feeling
backsweeping pylons

This still does not scream JJ-Oberth to me. It might look better it this was using Kelvin-tech.

Hmmm. I may like where this is going.

that's why i said something between kelvin and JJ

Double Post:

Scraped the sec hull with the deflector and built a new one. Moved the forward topedo laucher to the prime hull.

started with some textures

That's looking good. Not sure about the red. A more subtle colour may work better there. White or faint yellow, maybe.

Great work so far, looks good.

007bashir · « **Reply #250 on:** March 04, 2014, 03:56:47 PM »

thanks

Added some more texture and changed the grill color.

Edit: added impulse drive and registry

yes, i know the impulse crystal is rubish. Maybe get ridd of it and replace it with a set of phasers...

WileyCoyote · « **Reply #251 on:** March 04, 2014, 04:17:03 PM »

Could you please change the aztec for the saucer to a radial arrangement?

007bashir · « **Reply #252 on:** March 04, 2014, 04:27:06 PM »

Sure, as soon a i get home tomorrow

Vortex · « **Reply #253 on:** March 04, 2014, 04:57:20 PM »

If you're texturing the impulse crystal on, add dark lines to look like frames to hold the glass/ transparent aluminium domes. Should be okay then. (If you're good on poly count, maybe model the detail in there.)

Textures are looking good, that blue works much better. If anything, I'd say it's just a little to dark. The Kelvin wasn't as dark as most people seem to think, if that's the look you're going for.

One last thing, maybe make the name and registry a little bigger. It may help to sell the size of the ship better.

All in all, it's looking great.

I like them!
Even though they are (afaik) not used in JJverse, something would be missing without them.

007bashir · « **Reply #255 on:** March 05, 2014, 05:08:56 PM »

small update

Need something to allign the registry correctly

Raven Night · « **Reply #256 on:** March 05, 2014, 05:11:31 PM »

Registries are my Achilles heel as well.

Not used on any of the Kelvin era ships but there is one on the Enterprise. http://movies.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/xihd/trekxihd1006.jpg

exept, that it is pretty tinny...

don't use arc tool on text ;) create path of circular shape then type on the path ;) letters won't distort
