Title: New Orleans Class WIP
Post by: Killallewoks on July 22, 2013, 08:20:19 PM: Well I'm going to have a go a making a ship for BC and it's one that needs a bit of love. I have the basic shape down at the moment needs detail and smoothing though I reckon I have a good base to work off. Here's some shots.

The nacelles are place holders.

Title: Re: New Orleans Class WIP
Post by: Killallewoks on July 23, 2013, 11:09:43 AM: Ok i'm having quite a bit of trouble of getting the Engineering section to look 'right'. Any ideas of how it could be done?
Title: Re: New Orleans Class WIP
Post by: Vortex on July 23, 2013, 11:18:26 AM: Looks to be needing more polies. Sub-divide?
Title: Re: New Orleans Class WIP
Post by: Killallewoks on July 23, 2013, 11:59:43 AM: I had a go Vortex though it seems there's a few too many issues with it. I may have to rebuild it in attempt number 3.
Title: Re: New Orleans Class WIP
Post by: Killallewoks on July 23, 2013, 07:15:13 PM: Ok so attempt number 3, this time I've kept the two hulls separate until I model the neck for them to join. I've also added some detail to the Saucer such as the Bridge module and impulse engines. Any idea how I could do the deflector housing?

Post by: Killallewoks on July 24, 2013, 04:31:51 PM: Apologies for the triple post but it's an update, deflector housing done, neck just needs connecting to the two hulls. There are also some rouge vertices but I can reign them in.

Post by: moed on July 25, 2013, 01:49:01 PM: Well done Kill, coming along nicely!
Title: Re: New Orleans Class WIP
Post by: Killallewoks on July 25, 2013, 02:46:05 PM: Thank you gentleman, anyone know the best way to start on a Galaxy style nacelle? I have a rough idea but I just can't seem to get anything that looks right.
Title: Re: New Orleans Class WIP
Post by: Vortex on July 25, 2013, 03:21:58 PM: Damn that looks good. How did you go about building the neck? I'm having trouble figuring that out for one of my ships.
Title: Re: New Orleans Class WIP
Post by: Killallewoks on July 25, 2013, 03:57:53 PM: It was a 5x5x5 box with lots of scaling of different polies until I got the shape right. Basicly I squished it all until it was the right shape. :funny
Title: Re: New Orleans Class WIP
Post by: Vortex on July 26, 2013, 12:54:36 AM: Sounds like a plan. Thankyou.
Title: Re: New Orleans Class WIP
Post by: Killallewoks on July 26, 2013, 06:44:15 AM: Quick update.

Title: Re: New Orleans Class WIP
Post by: nxadam1701 on July 26, 2013, 07:48:44 AM: I agree, I think it's coming along nicely.
If you can't get it identical to what's seen on TV I still think your creative talents will produce a fine unique ship. But something tells me you will get it, your skills are improving model after model.

Post by: Vortex on July 26, 2013, 09:53:36 AM: When they get to re-mastering DS9, I hope they redo the battles to include a lot of these TNG era sub-ships. Would love to see the New Orleans in action.

Your model is looking great. Cookie inbound.

Post by: TraxZion on July 26, 2013, 04:26:18 PM: Nice progress

Indeed. It's coming along great...

As for the remastered version, you are right. It be nice to see some of the mothballed ships in action.

Post by: Killallewoks on July 29, 2013, 05:49:26 AM: Thanks for the support guys, still not happy with the nacelles so I'm in the process of rebuilding them. I have also added the third neck impulse engine as well as finishing off the the nacelle pylons.
