Vorcha WIP ***UPDATED 8/1/04***
« on: July 05, 2004, 12:58:00 am »
Well, almost finished with the Tholian, and had the modeling bug, so started another one from my list of projects. I know it's not a great representation, but since I mostly do Feds, I'm liking the way it's turning out. :) Let me know what you think.

Thanx guys!! :D

I'm starting to get into splines and shapemerge and so on, and this looked like a good model to do....tried the K'Tinga, but can't seem to get it right. :banghead: I don't use templates in the viewports, I just eye-ball it, so that's probably the reason, lol. :P But, eventually, I want to do a high poly Constitution Enterprise...I'm talking HIGH!! :P Definitely not game size....100,00 polies+. :rwoot: Every detail modelled....Oh the dream!! ;D

OK, did a little more detailing. Thanx go out to WZ for sending me some great ref pics. :thumbsup:

Was wondering, should I do the hull paneling all over, or just on the wings and goom? She stands at about 2800 polies right now, and I haven't even done the nacelles yet. :P Let me know what you think.

I suggest you do the nacelles and then check again the poly count.

Just when I think canon TNG Klingon ships can't get any better you crank out this!

Well done.

OK, added the nacelles, and, well, I don't this will be game friendly. :P 11,512 polies, and I'm not done. :P Oh well, it's still a fun model to do, and hopefully will look good in renders. ;) Let me know what you think...

OK, well, now it's over 12,000 polies, but looks really good! :P Now, I need to do one that will be more game friendly. I'll do one without the armor plating on the wings detailed, just do it with textures...this 1st one was a test, a good looking test, but still a test. ;D

What the hell did you do to make it have 12K polies?

Well, like I said, it was a test...a test of Splines and Shapemerge. I can get it down around 7,500-8,000 by Optimizing the mesh, but there are a few errors that can't easily be removed. :P All that mesh detailing eats up polies...that's why most of use textures to simulate the details. ::)

OK, made another mesh, this time without all the details. This mesh is only 1,799 polies...pretty good. ;) I'm going to start texturing as soon as I get done here...have a new Klingon Base texture I want to try...made it myself even, lol. ;D Let me know what you think...
