Ah, the infamous Kobayashi Maru!

XFozzboute · 21st Feb 2017, 03:42 PM

UPDATE...
Got more stuff added. I’ve started to place windows on the saucer rim. There’s not enough room for two sets decks of windows but I think I’ll do it anyway just because it looks better.

I also added the shuttle bay and some air locks. I’ll probably get rid of the aft airlock because I don’t like it. And I will increase the size of the secondary hull because the shuttlebay feel a little small.

XFozzboute · 22nd Feb 2017, 08:21 PM

UPDATE...
Started to work on the lower saucer.

XFozzboute · 27th Feb 2017, 04:31 PM

UPDATE...
The bottom of the saucer is done I think. Finished up some details and added phaser hatches.

I also added phaser hatches to the top of the saucer.

XFozzboute · 2nd Sep 2017, 02:51 PM

UPDATE...
It’s been awhile but I finally got back to this ship. I am actually feeling good working on this one I think it might be one of my favorite ships that I’ve made.
I had to remake this bit.

I added these two bits to the engine and I think it’s done.

I’ve also started to detail the awacks system.

And just for fun I started on this because I just finished watching DS9 for the millionth time.

XFozzboute · 4th Sep 2017, 08:16 PM

UPDATE...
As far as I’m concerned the tower is done.

XFozzboute · 8th Sep 2017, 04:59 PM

UPDATE...
Just a few more windows. I still need to add some to the bottom of the saucer. I’ve yet to move it into mental ray. I think I’ll do that after the modeling is done.

XFozzboute · 13th Sep 2017, 08:11 PM

UPDATE...
Started to get some panel lines in. There’s some messy bits on the side I’m not happy with but I’ll figure something out.

Rigel · 14th Sep 2017, 07:58 AM

When I get those "wrinkles" in a render, I select the affected polygons then inset them 1 or 2 mm. That clears up the wrinkle in the render. However, on curved surfaces, it can change the shape or flatten it out a bit.

In this case, I would select all of the hull polygons inside of the panel lines then use Multi-shift to inset them.

Treybor · 14th Sep 2017, 01:14 PM

I usually get those when surface smoothing is set too high or if the polygons are non-planar

XFozzboute · 17th Sep 2017, 07:53 PM

I'll see what I can do to fix or hide it. Thanks guys.

UPDATE...
Got a bit more work done. added more panel lines and a little other things. Worked more on the airlock. Just need to do a few other things and I can move onto textures.

bmckain · 18th Sep 2017, 09:03 AM

Hah, still going!

Love it, just love it.

XFozzboute · 19th Sep 2017, 05:27 PM

Yep. Still at it, trying to get my mojo back.

XFozzboute · 21st Sep 2017, 07:40 PM

UPDATE...
Added more panel lines to the bottom.

I also added a few windows to the bottom of the saucer. Just about finished with is thing just want to go around and add few little things.

XFozzboute · 23rd Sep 2017, 05:24 PM

UPDATE...
I know I was thinking about adding few more other small bits of detail but looking the thing over I don’t feel I need to. Just needed to finish a few things off and maybe fix a few things that needed fixing. So I finished of the shuttle bay door.

I also added a nav light to the bottom of the ship.

I also decided to start to remake the phazer turret. It’s not as good as the first version I lost but it still works for me.

XFozzboute · 24th Sep 2017, 08:35 PM

UPDATE...
Finished up the phaser. I like it.

This is how it looks deployed.

Moved into Mental-Ray so I can start work on the textures.

XFozzboute · 25th Sep 2017, 09:40 PM

UPDATE...
Starting work on some test textures. But before I get deeper into it I need to install lights and get rooms behind the windows.

XFozzboute · 28th Sep 2017, 03:25 PM

UPDATE...
Getting the ship’s lighting finished up and started on the rooms behind the windows.

A bit more texture work.

XFozzboute · 29th Sep 2017, 09:45 PM

UPDATE...
More windows getting done. I was thinking that each deck gets a different colored carpet. Not that you can see the carpet but it’s the thought that counts.

Rigel · 30th Sep 2017, 08:02 AM

It's really starting to come to life now, rather than being a clay sculpture.

XFozzboute · 30th Sep 2017, 03:22 PM

Thanks. I'm really happy with it so far.

XFozzboute · 17th Apr 2018, 01:48 PM

UPDATE...
Starting some very early textures for the phaser turrets.

Treybor · 18th Apr 2018, 11:28 AM

interesting design

XFozzboute · 22nd Apr 2018, 09:00 PM

Thanks.

UPDATE...
Not getting too much done because I’m spending most of my time cleaning the house. Soon it will time to get another dumpster to get rid of more dead people shit. I did get the textures on the front of the phaser started.

XFozzboute · 12th Nov 2018, 06:59 PM

UPDATE...
Tried to finish off some textures of my U.S.S. Franklin type ship. It didn’t go that well. Some of the textures are squashed a bit. I may have to give it a rest and re-unwrap it at a later time. I’ll start on another part of the ship.

XFozzboute · 20th Nov 2018, 12:14 PM

UPDATE...
Did some very minor texture work on the warp engines but mainly took care of rooms behind the windows of the secondary hull.

XFozzboute · 1st Dec 2018, 07:57 PM

UPDATE...
I was gonna post this yesterday but I didn’t get the chance. So here is the last bit of work done for last month. It’s mostly temporary for now. Just wanted to see if i got the unwrap right.

Rigel · 3rd Dec 2018, 08:15 AM

It looks good.

eagledocf15 · 25th Mar 2019, 11:00 AM

Any updates?

XFozzboute · 26th Mar 2019, 04:36 PM

I'm busy with other things at the moment. But there will be updates if things go well.
