Hey guys just a few small updates

dougx · 1st Mar 2019, 03:50 AM

Still plugging away at hull details

Rigel · 5th Mar 2019, 08:17 AM

Great greeblely goodness!

dougx · 15th May 2019, 10:45 AM

Hey guys been a while ("Great greeblely goodness!" thanks Rigel !)

just some more small updates on paneling and real big render to see the detail

Rigel · 16th May 2019, 08:07 AM

That is looking really, really good!

Oldcode · 17th May 2019, 06:27 AM

Fantastic!

And thanks for putting the droids in for scale. It really gives you a sense of how big its supposed to be.

ashe5k · 17th May 2019, 07:38 AM

My first SWTOR ship! That looks fantastic. Nice work!

Eden · 17th May 2019, 04:30 PM

One hell of piece of work, looks superb....!! looking forward to seeing more......!

dougx · 19th May 2019, 01:34 AM

Thanks guys! started work on the bottom panels hopefully some pics tonight

Tony Gardner · 20th May 2019, 02:33 AM

Very nice

dougx · 20th May 2019, 02:10 PM

Thanks Tony! Just some pics of bottom panels started

Eden · 20th May 2019, 07:27 PM

Superb modeling, looking really good.....!!

Rigel · 21st May 2019, 08:03 AM

Your panel layouts are very consistent; well done.

dougx · 21st May 2019, 08:13 AM

Thanks Rigel and Eden just some more progress

Eden · 24th May 2019, 06:48 PM

Still looking very good.....looking forward to your progress......

dougx · 8th Jun 2019, 08:55 PM

Thanks Eden! Not much of an update working on bottom panels not super happy with it ,scale maybe a bit small. Ive probably going to redo it got a few ideas ,also some pics of lighting tests in lightwave 2018 still figuring out how to use the lights in 2018

Eden · 10th Jun 2019, 04:52 AM

Nice progress, love the lighting tests....especially the first render...back view.....that's sweet as.....!!!

Rigel · 11th Jun 2019, 08:09 AM

The lighting does look good!

dougx · 23rd Jul 2019, 08:04 AM

Thanks Rigel!
Just a small update started remodelling the back section where the engines sit and and a few other bits and pieces.

Rigel · 24th Jul 2019, 08:07 AM

Very nice.

One small critique: where the engine meets the hull it looks like one piece. If the engine has a cutout the hull fits into, put an edge on the engine nacelle so it looks like it sits on the hull. But if the hull fits around the nacelle, create a gap around it.

Or not. Texturing could break up that area too so it doesn't look like one piece.

dougx · 27th Jul 2019, 05:50 AM

Thanks Rigel

, your critique was right on point heres an updated pic. The very front of engine will be one piece with the panel underneath

dougx · 6th Sep 2019, 02:49 AM

Hey guys
Been a while since Ive posted an update not much done just doing panel details and grebbles on the engine area.Nothing is permanent and grebbles are subject to change lol

Rigel · 6th Sep 2019, 07:44 AM

It looks very Star Warsy (yes that's a word).

dougx · 19th Sep 2019, 03:27 AM

Thanks Rigel I hope so.. lol
Not much much of an update just a few small details etc

Rigel · 19th Sep 2019, 07:36 AM

Nice! What's the polygon count on this monster?

dougx · 20th Sep 2019, 02:41 AM

Alot........lol

Definitely need to optimize

Professor Moriarty · 24th Sep 2019, 11:13 PM

Hey, don't be so greedy... save some polygons for the rest of us!

Rigel · 25th Sep 2019, 07:22 AM

Only 2.7 million? What, you cutting corners somewhere??

XFozzboute · 26th Sep 2019, 07:22 PM

Man. I love the amount of detail. Just amazing work.

dougx · 28th Sep 2019, 07:31 PM

Thanks for the comments guys

Im still plugging away Im definitely going to need to do super optimization as the bottom side will prob be another 1.5 million or so lol .I also need to do the second layer of panel detail on the top half.Might need a new computer by the time Im done!
