Hull is pretty much complete. Starting on the Bridge Citadel.

Poly count has just hit 30,000. I expect a final total in the region of 32-35k.

The Lunar Class Cruiser is one of many variants based on this hull. The though occurred that because I'd been building the ship in a modular fashion, I should easily be able to make the variants.
It's just a case of doubling up the weapons options. The Battlecruisers have extra lances in place of their masts.
If I model hanger decks, which shouldn't take too long, I can also do the armed carriers, a lot like a battlestar.

Bridge is done. All that's left is the asymmetric parts of the wings, which shouldn't take long. However, I'll be without internet access for the next few days.

hummmm,... what's the polycount of this beast? :shock:

RCgothic · « **Reply #84 on:** September 28, 2007, 06:10:23 PM »

Currently 32k7

It'll certainly be no more than 34k when I've added the final details.
So a full 10k less than Exe's Omega.

Just like Mr.Crimson, I never cared much for Warhammer 40k, but this is spectacular! Well done, good show old chap!

That poly count shouldn't hurt your chances porting it and seeing how it damages, the high poly ships I see in BC right now (publiclly) are those 2 B5 ships TC ported a year ago (Bluestar: 32,223 polys. Whitestar: 45,650 polys).

This should complement my install nicely.

Thanks guys, I've enjoyed making this ship.
There are other imperial vessels I'd like to have a go at, variants and escorts. The Battlships will probably need to wait a while (until I get a battleship miniature for example).

I'll have the finishing touches done in a couple of days, and then we'll see what LC can do.

Please let the staff decide, or use the report function rather than adding yet another pointless post to the thread-Starforce2

After discussion with Starforce, I've re-opened this thread. It's reminded me that I have only a small amount to do to complete this mesh. I'll update when I get back from my holiday in about two weeks, as my most complete file is on my other computer.

In the mean time, I'll be looking for people to:

Convert this lightwave 5.6 *lwo file to something more usable.
Do Textures.
Do other BC-required stuff.

lint · « **Reply #92 on:** July 20, 2008, 02:09:28 PM »

i think you can export to .3ds from lightwave, i was able to, if thats not possible you can export it to .obj

Technerd89 · « **Reply #93 on:** July 20, 2008, 04:33:37 PM »

im glad you re-opened this. definitely one of the most detailed projects for BC at the moment, good luck finishing it

sorry bout that starforce

you are a god in my eyes for this

Phoenix Bondi · « **Reply #95 on:** July 21, 2008, 09:35:14 PM »

I'm so glade i brought this back up! :o

Dalek · « **Reply #96 on:** August 02, 2008, 08:19:13 AM »

This is really detailed. And imagine the detail of the textures when they're put on! You could destroy whole fleets if this gets all the weapons it has in 40k. Surprised at the size of a Sovereign compared to it though.

cpthooker · « **Reply #97 on:** August 07, 2008, 02:05:16 AM »

Very nice detail, was there any smaller ships?

DL Forsaken · « **Reply #98 on:** August 07, 2008, 12:51:42 PM »

yea there are a lot of smaller ships

there are ships of all sizes

RCgothic · « **Reply #99 on:** August 07, 2008, 01:50:18 PM »

Dauntless Class Light Cruiser
Sword Class Gun Frigate
Firestorm Class Lance Frigate
Cobra Class Torpedo Destroyer.

I haven't made any of them, but I might, because I'm feeling bored at the moment. My computer is still in storage though, I'll try and dig it out tonight.
