I like the idea of doing a hybrid of the CGI and Physical model. It looks great.

Compare pix with what you have:

Oh wow! I didn't notice it was that different. I think I'll go with the CGI tail then since 90% of the ship is based off of the CGI model. Its just hard to tell the detail by the running lights at the tip of the tail.

Extrapolate from all orthos is you are not sure, also use screens from the ep where the dominion attacks and captures DS9 on, the CGI isn't shown prior to that episode.

EDIT: I've just checked, it's from season 6 that the CGI is used, the station scenes with the dominion ships have the studio model tho (the station was never turned to a CGI model).

Been having problems with keeping my smoothing groups. It seems whenever I re-open the model in max, all or some of my smoothing groups are gone after I have saved it. Any reason why this maybe happening?... Oh, and I did implement the CGI tail.

I think I solved it actually. I might've been a bit careless with what I clicked on. My mouse isn't the greatest and I think it, on it's own, clicked on smooth when I was going for symetry. So now I have to be a bit carefull with my mouse. It just started acting up the past couple of days.

With exception to the spiral wave disruptor, I'm done with building the tail section!

Additional pics

serverandenforcer · « **Reply #129 on:** November 07, 2011, 06:03:23 PM »

One more... the entire top section...

Adonis · « **Reply #130 on:** November 07, 2011, 06:11:08 PM »

The extrusion on the middle bottom of the tail (the whole section where the grilled section is) is more pronounced, the grilled bit goes as low as the tail cap's top (the beveled bit of it).

I've never seen some one take this much care with a antagonist ship.

I just noticed that I have an award. LOL!

Darkthunder · « **Reply #133 on:** November 07, 2011, 08:28:10 PM »

Congratulations. Well deserved in my opinion (thou all nominees were deserving). Your dedication to making this ship (and the Keldon), i'm certain had alot to do with winning the award

serverandenforcer · « **Reply #134 on:** November 08, 2011, 02:40:41 AM »

Adonis, I provided a three images, one is my model as a whole, the second is the reference pic, and the third is my model in wireframe over the reference pic. Everything lines up.

Adonis · « **Reply #135 on:** November 08, 2011, 08:18:46 AM »

Hmm...than that's also different to the studio model

...gotta take note of that

serverandenforcer · « **Reply #136 on:** November 08, 2011, 04:11:30 PM »

Started work on the ventral side of the cobra head.

serverandenforcer · « **Reply #137 on:** November 08, 2011, 08:10:29 PM »

Finished the ventral side of the cobra head.

EDIT.... GAH!!!! Just realized the smoothing groups got messed up again. This is becoming a real head ache. I think something other than my mouse is the problem here.

serverandenforcer · « **Reply #138 on:** November 20, 2011, 10:57:28 PM »

Incase anybody was wondering if I'm still working on this...

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #139 on:** November 21, 2011, 12:31:46 AM »

I thought I replied. Must've imagined it. Nevertheless, it's looking fantastic! Have a cookie!
