Potential Battosai Class Fighter Refit

captainj2410 · 30th November 2007, 09:01 PM

Alright, now that I'm improving my skills at subdivision, I'm toying with the notion of refitting my old Battosai Class Fighter model. I don't know whether I should pursue this variation or not. I'm welcome to any opinions on the new and old versions:
New:

Old:

Please, if you have any input on the design, good or otherwise, don't hold back!

Okay, I think I'll pursue this one. Here's what I've gotten so far. And woot for actually making details instead of just texturing them on!

She's pretty well finished. Don't know what else to do with her.

The overall design / textures / colors look cool.
The old low-polys version was cool too.
I can see some not that much rounded parts here and there in your subivided model ...
How many times did you perform a "subdivide+" on it ? 1 or 2 ?

Two or three actually XD
The non-subdivided surfaces were post-subdivision details; sensor arrays, retractable weapons emplacements, and hatches. I recolored some of the sensor panels so they looked less out of place, but I neglected to re-export the file as a new .obj for rendering.

Cool! You should do a scene with all your ships in it together. How many craft are in your armada?
