after some major modifcations to the night hawk model. I have created a whole new ship out of the nighthawk ship, which is now called StormHawk still in the same family as the nighthawk model. but with a few modifcations here and there it looks nothing like the nighthawk. yarr.... lol. I'll be posting an update soon of the StormHawk

Very nice shape --- looks pretty unique (to me, at least). Great work on this one!

[nightoftheroundtable]

well thank you Dennis. you are correct all of my models are unique. there still is lots of work to be done on it. such as detailing and texturing

[DRAKELOT]

Fantastic WIP my friend !!!

Antonio.

Very nice indeed! You should make a tech schematic for it too, show what each part is. Quite an original use of the subdivision tool, I take it that's what you used correct?

[nightoftheroundtable]

yes I have been using the subdivision tool, for the nighthawk model. I also used the same technique with the new storm hawk model. Which I'm going to be uploading today. I'll let you all judge which is better.

[captainj2410]

I just got into the subdivision tool within the last few months. It's what I used for my Challenger II shuttle.

[nightoftheroundtable]

also on my storm hawk. I figured out how to get a greeble effect with my models thanks to blender so I am going to start adding more detail to it, and my latest model. Yes I created another one last night, I call it the W.A.S.P. The design itself is very strange in nature but it is still based on the subdivision tool. I will also be adding the basic structure of the W.A.S.P model and my stormhawk.

[nightoftheroundtable]

okay peeps my new stormhawk model is out. and its very much like the nighthawk with out the new changes

[captainj2410]

Is it all one object (ex. block) or are some objects combined with extra vertices removed?

[nightoftheroundtable]

yes it is all one object. via the block) with lots of extruding done to it.

[captainj2410]

I didn't think about extruding, I always try to make a single block and just manipulate vertices...that is very time consuming and doesn't allow much freedom. I'm going to have to try your extrusion technique sometime.

[nightoftheroundtable]

I dont know if I would call it a technique. but I like to keep it simple. my way has many benifts. if you want you can tell people about my way. lol it seems as though I found a new way to make better models look more complexed

[captainj2410]

You've got that right! PS, I used that on my Type 3 Phaser, check it out when you have the time!
