Downloads: 1 Uploads: 0 | **update change** I changed the method of the greebles layout just a tad, I added some low poly conduits to fill in the spaces a bit and to make it look more like there is something going on. I made some larger pieces so that the smaller ones wouldn't have to be so many, still there are gaps between the greebles that I can't fill in without going poly overload. I guess I am going to have to image-map some details to the surface below just to make it look "busy" as per Starships suggestions. Anyway this is the direction I am going with the sensor pallets, hope it comes out right . . . gp |

Downloads: 1 Uploads: 0 | I guess LW has a way to go before it gets up to speed . . . . right now I am setting my vcr up to record BSG tonight . . . .  I'll be at work putting aircraft away so I won't get a chance to see it. Thank god I didn't throw the vcr away . . . it still comes in handy, now if I could only find a VHS tape D'oh!gp |

You can usually find HD versions of the eps. after they air on some of the bittorrent trackers, too if you miss it... I still wish my cable company would get scifi in HD. But no luck for me yet on that. |

Downloads: 1 Uploads: 0 | You mean you don't boolean all your greebles into the hull? So it's just me then?  Yep this is looking superb, I wasn't too keen on the tier 1 greebles, but these look much better! If possible try and add some secondary layer /overlapping greebles in places, so it doesn't look just like some spare parts glued to the hull hehe. This is going to be one heck of a chore - aligning them to the workplane - a sloping curve :S |
