Most of the edges are in fact beveled. Could you be more specific to the areas you think aren't beveled? or aren't beveled "enough" rather? I paid close attention to try and get all my edges looking nice and clean with a sharp manner but microbevels. Thanks for the compliments too!

Sweet·

I seriously love those more than the redress. The new ones might more fit to the name of basestar, but the old one are still unbeatable.

Agreed. Very alien and symmetrically robotic math going on in that design. I dig it too man.

Yeah, this takes me back! Nice work and it makes me nostalgic for the original.

i could'nt say of the bat...it's a general comment on the mesh it self. after checking the picts back, the issue that jump is the size of your panel grooves and their depts wich does'nt make realy sens on a logical scale. at that size, those panels lines would be as big as the trenche on the death star. When doing a physical model in 3D' you need to interpret a lot of things, panel lines are one of them..
When you love a pet, loosing it is like loosing a part of your soul. I lost part of mine on Feb 12 2008. Never will it be the same again.

touché.. i must agree as you are the second person to say that (first on this forum though heh). panels have been my major struggle on this to be honest. took me the longest and i never felt totally good about them. any suggestions for making those panels in lightwave would be appreciated. techniques/tools, etc... anything efficient to knock them out quickly and accurately.

Thank you again.
