That would be an object error. I think here it's more that the render engine is triangulating the object before drawing it on the screen. Even if the object itself isn't triangulated.

I have a feeling it wouldn't look as it does if did the boolean with a primitive that had fewer polygons. Maybe an elongated octagon rather than a cube with rounded edges.

Either way I'm beyond that part now.

Finished blocking out the major parts of the ship. I have most of the simple line work shaped out with the curvy-ness-ish stuff modeled. I'm pretty happy with what I have so far.

Might rebuild the pylon engine housing thing though.

Now I have the approximate hight of the model, I can build a yardstick for proportions in the details. Hatches, panels, etc... Fun stuff all around!

Looking good. Gonna keep an eye on this one.

Just trying out different panel styles. Not sure which I like better. Irregular or uniform looks well enough for me. I plan to have the smaller panels on both for that extra level of detail.

I prefere the left arrangement of the armor platting but I would make them more simple flat plates instead of giveing them this little extra details.

irregular arrangement is better

Came up with a panel design for the 'wing' part of the ship and added a few panels to the main hull. Also refined the shapes a bit and am playing around with some of the minor proportions.

Lastly I built the warp nacel. Trying for that hybrid style I mentioned earlier in the thread.

looks lieka klingon federation hybrid haha

Ha! Maybe when I'm done, it'll look like a hodgepodge of all ST designs!

Then it'll be assimilated by the Borg and the look will be complete.
