Good morning everyone and what a fracking cold day with snow it is. The perfect day to stay indoors and model.

I have a new set of screenies of the new model.

As you can see im doing my best to stick to my original model. I have, however, decided to make some changes
such as drupping the bevels on the top saucer and the ring shape on the bottom of the saucer.
I've also made it slightly slimmer, while keeping the contours more steamlined.

For eyesight I've added a few smoothing groups to the model.

can we see a wireframe, also the vertical edge of the saucer rim could do with a chamfer to smooth it out

anazonda · « **Reply #142 on:** February 01, 2009, 06:03:47 AM »

I'll add a wireframe sometime soon. But that will first be when i've capped all the holes on the model.

I am aware that the saucer needs some camfer. But that won't be done before im 100% satisfied with the shape, because there are also several other areas that will need camfer before im done.

looking pretty gd anazonda, its nice to see you getting back to this.

I am sad to say that I am not getting anywhere with this.

Therefore I deepley regret to inform you that as of this moment this model should be considered left for dead.

While i have a complete model by now I am unable to get either good textures or hardpoints on this thing.

- Sorry.

Thats too bad mate... but maybe some other time you'll find purpose of this one ;) as this ship has certainly potential

If you'd come on MSN, I could help you with the design. I do have ideas, and it's best to share and consult with someone who actually out of the bunch has intimate knowledge of ST ships :evil .

Wow... Except from the messages here, and a Single PM message, i've already got 4 emails in response to this post with people who want to help me.

Consider the project re-opend. Althoug it will go slow.

FarShot · « **Reply #148 on:** October 29, 2009, 08:41:47 PM »

I'd be glad to help out too. ;)

Hello my friend!

me ready to help too

anazonda · « **Reply #150 on:** January 01, 2010, 02:09:19 PM »

So... new year, new start...

I've spend a few hours of my hangover to work a little on the Chip and here are the results... i know the nacells still need a little work, but still shes coming along nicely isn't she?

WileyCoyote · « **Reply #151 on:** January 01, 2010, 02:12:21 PM »

Looks nice. It looks like a combination of DJ's Century Class and the nacelles from the Enterprise-J.

anazonda · « **Reply #152 on:** January 02, 2010, 04:34:46 AM »

Yet another update...

I spend some time working on the deflector are once again, with consideration from previous suggestions, and added a few details to the ship and nacells.

Right now the ship is at 7378 Polys, wich is waaaay to much... It is the nacells and the deflector area that make up for most of that, so ill have to slim that a little.

Anyways, enjoy the show:

Front ...

... Rear ...

... Beauty shot ...

... Deflector area and forward torpedo launchers ...

... Aft Torpedoes (Just above the shuttlebay) ...

... Nacells ...

... and of cause the mandatory Wireframe shot.

They're rewards for contributions to the community. It can be nice, shiny ship, a well done gameplay video, funny joke..

anazonda · « **Reply #156 on:** January 02, 2010, 06:35:13 AM »

Oh... but... I'm just modeling a ship... And it ain't even close to finished yet?

Lionus · « **Reply #157 on:** January 02, 2010, 06:42:48 AM »

They also act as encouragement to keep up the good work.

JamesTiberiusKirk · « **Reply #158 on:** January 02, 2010, 09:26:22 AM »

Im not entirely sure if the proportions do fit. the ship has a relatively large saucer section and the nacelles appear very tiny. but thats just me nitpicking

the design is really good and youve done a good job so far!

Lionus · « **Reply #159 on:** January 02, 2010, 09:28:27 AM »

Perhaps it has more efficient warp nacelles? ;)
