While, I am the furthest thing from the expert on this, I think typically it would mean for you to freeze your mesh. In LW you would go to the general options area - The O key) and set the subdivision level to where you want it) then select the part you want to freeze and select freeze from the CONSTRUCT > CONVERT menu. After you do this you'll have a full poly mesh. Then you can go in and start to remove loops that you just don't need. And by this I mean areas that are very flat would need less geometry than on areas that have a lot of curves. I like to use BANDGLUE for this, as it will remove an entire loop very quickly and cleanly. If you're not familiar with it you should
watch this video. When you're done cleaning up your mesh you should have an object that has enough geometry to make it look smooth where it needs to be, but only as much as needed.

Reason: My 93 year old Grandfather, bless his heart, has always worried about my future, retirement and such. He suggested that I get into the postal service field to ensure a retirement for myself. I tried to explain to him my passion and aspiration to break into the VFX industry, but he was unable to understand what I was saying. So, I came up with the idea of following his advice (obviously not literally) and following my passion at the same time. |
I'm not sure if there is a official registry, but I've never been one to care much anyway. I think your idea would be much better anyway. For my viper I used a call sign for myself and used 1701 for the number just as a poke towards all the Trek fans here.
The viper is looking nice! keep up the good work!
