Title: USS CONSOLATION NCC-7000 WIP***UPDATE***
Post by: Sandman3D on March 28, 2009, 09:15:37 am

OK, the Marconi was a test to try to remember how to do this stuff...Now I have MAX 2009, so started on something else, a ship I found at a link in another post about schematics.
This a hospital ship, the USS CONSOLATION NCC-7000...I just liked her lines, lol.

Thanx FW...poly count is 5700...could make it a little lower, I didnt boolean/weld somethings, so as to make it easier to kitbash...also makes it easier for me to do other ships with the same saucer, nacelle or whatever...I'm getting lazy as I get older :P, and that will save me time. And, it gives me more texturing exp...I REALLY need that, lmao. :laugh: It'll also give time to do something I've wanted to do for a long time...a HIGH poly model...probably not Trek, but it'll still be a space ship,lol.

Thanx again and I hope to have more tonite.

Those warp engines and that saucer look very sharp and clean.  No jagged line, looks almost like they were over 10k polies each themselves.

Nice work.

Couple of quick suggestions as always..  :D

Go for about the same level of yellow as you have blue.. going for a TOS style ship (even Lost Era), personally I'd go for yellow window lighting.

Second, throw some people in a few windows (keeping in mind scale) and vary some of the brightness of some of the windows.

I'll give you an example..  I'll vary a bit of the lighting as I move towards the front of the saucer just to show you the difference that that can make.  :)

Take this for what it's worth, just trying to help out a bit..

Hey all, sorry haven't posted anything in awhile...no I haven't started playing WoW again(don't even have it installed on new puter,lol) I just got side tracked trying to get my high poly(for me) model going. I think I've finally hit on a design that will work for me, as it's my own, so I can make it look like whatever I want, lol.

Here are a few wip pics, which will also be shown at SFM, so I can get advice and pointers from those geniuses. ;D

Yes very sexy!

Please make that hull available before you go all pimp mode and throw 100k more polys on it...
