Downloads: 11 Uploads: 7 | Thanks guys! A sea turtle and an armadillo...Yes, I agree with both of you. When I finished basic modeling of the shell structure, I guessed it gave turtle-like looks to her. So, to tell the truth, I considered to give hexagonal panels once . But now, by adding textures that emphasize panel edges, it looks like an armadillo for me too...It took about 6 hrs total, 1-1.5 hrs/day, to add all panels on the shell surface. But around 2/3 of it was spent for editing misplaced points by applying rounder tool to get panels with round corners. |

I personally like smooth shell structure that has no panels and joints. Current panel design was selected because I guessed it matches the BSG universe. And I was afraid that smooth shell structure was rather one of the key design features of Cylon's vessels. ![]() "Clam" was the first concept for her class ships, namely she was covered with two shell structures at first. But I decided that this "clam concept" was applied to only special battlestars(like strikestar) and gunstars. If I would have enough time, I'm going to make these variants. ![]() | |

| SFM Oracle | Nice work. I like the Skinfaxi a lot. The Sleipnir is taking good process as well. It's not the same class, aye? At least not the same type of armour. |
