That is, of course, if there is nothing wrong with it.  Fixed the
windows (added a bump_map), and hull texture (increased phong_size and
decreased phong). I'm not gonna change the nacelles, Kettch.  Official
trek style my foot.  How much of an official trek style was the
Dauntless?  Or the Prometheus? Ha.

Also added a "below" view and the lights now are, well, lights.
Comments? Job? Jobs? Pleeeease?
Enjoy!

Marvellous job!
The windows now look like windows as opposed to radioactive blue splotches
;)

What are those brown panels? They have the same problem the windows did IMHO.
The windows look a little better, but I don't know exactly how you could
improve them. They shouldn't neccessarily be the color of the light inside,
but then you'd have to have tiny pics of the rooms or something...
The front view is awesome!

Escape Pods.  They're supposed to look like that.

Yup.  It renders slow enough as it is.

I know. I looks like some evil aquatic animal with red eyes.

Forgot to say that there is one thing I don't like: the panels that make up
the hull of the ship should follow the contour of the ship instead of being
arranged in straight rows and columns. Unfortunately this would be very
difficult since you can't uv-map blobs :/

Yeah, i agree with you on those panels. The overall texture of the ship is
much bettter. except for these panels. whatever they are...

As Sebastian said, the front view is pretty cool looking. I do like how the
large blue glowing things (i don't know any ship terminology) have some kind
of texture on them. same with the yellow-orange glowing thing in the front
view.

from the side, the front of the ship looks like the body of a snook (warm
saltwater fish, very fun to catch... and release) It even has the dark line
going lengthwise down the body.

I really think this ship would benefit from being in a space scene. It
looses a lot just on a white background.

ross.


ps, i'll give you a job. you can start by cleaning my room and making me a
pot of coffee :)

Yeah, detail helps.

Well, I was going for aquatic.

For that pay?  I don't think so.

The windows look alot better. I was curious, how manu blob objects are
invloved in a project such as this?
And how do you place them? I assume you create some patterns a use while
loops (or something similar) to place them all?
How do you come up with your general shapes and patterns? Are they
mathematical in essence?

Well, the saucer-section is one blob.  the Nacelles are each separate blobs, as
are the struts connecting them to the fuselage.

> And how do you place them?

By hand.

Not really.  I did all of it by trial-and-error.  Not as efficient, but it
allows me greater control.

Pencil and paper. Pencil and paper.  I'm good with traditional art, and usually
start with sketches and doodling.  This helps with the final shape and
textures.

If those Blue thingies are lights they are great but if they are windows they
need to be inset a slight bit.  But otherwise FANTASTIC!
