Not bad so far...I see some mesh errors around the deflector and the shuttlebay, I suggest you redraw those polies in a different manner than how they are triangulated ATM.

What's the current poly count? What modeling prog are you using?

Wings3D is a good modeling program. :D

I suggest you go a little higher on mesh detail, since the model is only 1580 polies ;D

noob question:

since I dont own SFC and I havent really modelled for any games before  what is an exceptable poly count for a ship in these games?



heres a type 9 shuttle I also did in MS3D

very nice work on that shuttle BTW

for large ships the normal poly count is about 5000-7000 polys for small ships like suttles about 500-800 polys is about right these numbers offer the best compatability with older systems you can build higher poly-count ships but you run the risk of people with older machines not being able to use them

PS. welcome to the group
