here you are

Looks reasonably clean. I would probably try to eliminate verts/polys in the bigger open spaces and transfer those numbers to the edges to smooth them out. Then just make sure you keep tight control over your smoothing groups and I think this baby's a winner.

Woow, such a cool mesh. On Autodesk I cant even flip the polygon face.

here are a couple of cleaner renders

looks pretty good, baz. i think some of those hard edges need to just be smoothed out and perhaps a little more definition in places like the undercut.

edit* and by the way, these are just suggestions. take em or leave em as you want.

Extreamly accurate and beutiful ;). This ship will be one of the best Ive ever seen :eek

Just a few suggestions based on the Blu-ray ship simulator shots Wiley posted

(I've attached an image cos I'm rubbish at explaining)

The bits at the top of the pylons don't spread out as they connect to the nacelle (at least, not as much)

The shuttle bay edge should flow into the back of the pylon in a smoother curve

There's an lip along the side of the ship, where the lower part of the hull is wider than the upper.

Where you have a hard edge (marked in blue) the hull should curve round.

This site has some excellent schematics that might help

Other than that, she looks great

Depending on how poly-heavy the final model is, have you considered actually modeling the internal bussard gears?
Also, fantastic progress. Hope the skills you learn for this will let you make your own ships ever better.

Definitely shaping up Baz. Though Tribble is right about those things, this is one of the best JJPrises yet.

baz1701 · « **Reply #930 on:** December 05, 2009, 05:54:13 PM »

Some more revisions to the secondary hull.

about 35% rebuilt

one showing pylon juction

Aramus · « **Reply #932 on:** December 05, 2009, 06:04:04 PM »

Baz1701 thats a good effort.

The first image shows the errors in the mesh, the second shows the fixes.

remember that all vertexes need to join to other vertexes like a net or fence, hence its called a mesh.

Hope that helps, keep up the good work.

Billz · « **Reply #933 on:** December 05, 2009, 07:01:09 PM »

Even though shes looking great, theres still a lot of details that are not quite correct.

Your warp engines for example, they aew missing something on the underside of them that I can only assume are some kind of plasma vents. Check the underside of the nacelles on schematics posted earlier and the high res screenshots of the Ship in the Blu-Ray ship simulator that Wiley sent you.

Also, theres a few details that don't look quite right with the deflector dish area on your model. It may be because you haven't built the deflector dish yet, but there is definatly something not quite right about it at the moment. Again, see schmatics posted earlier as well as the screenshots Wiley sent you from the Blu-Ray.

Otherwise, great work.

baz1701 · « **Reply #934 on:** December 06, 2009, 08:37:09 AM »

still trying to get the main shape right.

Things like windows, docking ports and other greebles will follow when that is done.

Rest assured I have not forgot the details, it is far from done.

baz1701 · « **Reply #935 on:** December 06, 2009, 04:52:20 PM »

Can some one take a look at this an see how I can fix the mesh errors from the cutting, I have tried but no joy.

baz1701 · « **Reply #936 on:** December 06, 2009, 04:57:33 PM »

forgot pics of the mess I'm in

Vladko1 · « **Reply #937 on:** December 06, 2009, 05:08:22 PM »

Wooow, and the ship will be with that kind of detail :eek. Very nice ;)

Not with these mesh errors.

you have to move and weld vertexes one by one.
