Thanks to Phoenix I was finally talked into taking the plunge into modelling. Trying to teach myself the basics of MAX. Here is what I have so far:

Hints and tips are very much welcome as I am still a little overwhelmed by it all

Looks like a great start! :thumbsup:

if you're doing a direct dade, they have some very annoying built in rings on the nacelles, e-hull and neck. what were you planning to do with it?

Not sure yet. Just giving me somthing to do until Phoenix gets bored with GTA and we can tackle my first serious project :P

well, how about a tweak idea?
mabey make this a TOS style refit. you've already got a TOS bridge dome on it, and the new pylons look plenty TOS style.
-
I was actually starting to think that myself King :D
-
Very nice!
-
Oh my! Thank you Wiley! That has made my day :D
Started again with her now I know how to do a few things

Great start mate! Keep at it!
-
Thanks Moed! Did the nacelles but struggling to get the pylons right. Once I've the basic shapes down I'll start adding details
-
Looks good. A little blurry, though.
-
He probably doesn't have his render settings set up correctly, or at all.
Either way, good work and TOS is the way to go when learning 3D.
-
I'd suggest Connie 2 nacelles (the first pilot model without the bussard spears or the balls on the end). getting the plasma vent cove and mabey the pipes is gonna be a challenge, but we got plenty of people here that can help with that.
were you thinking ahead to the impulse deck, yet? the original dade tacked them on the back end of the nacelles.
-
Nice work! Looks good :thumbsup:

It's always nice to see someone take their baby steps in Max :D
(and that's coming from someone who wouldn't even dream of doing ships!)

Very nice Chris! :yay:
