Downloads: 2 Uploads: 0   | USS Salus NX-75001 This is a ship that I've been working on for a while, but this is the first time I've thought to bring it out in the open here at Sci-Fi Meshes. This is my first Starship model, so it's not expected to be my best, even though I will strive for it. I could really use a lot of suggestions for methods of improving the model and textures.

I see that they have six sides  Smoothen that out and it will be ok. After that you can just add details such as positioning lights, hatches etc. |

Downloads: 2 Uploads: 0 | Originally, the design shared too many similarities with NX-01, so I started a slight remodel and the model above was what I got. I know it's enterprising for a newbie, but I want a really nice model. I've even downloaded another model to see if I can learn anything about their construction methods (I won't copy the models without giving due credits). I learn best by interacting with a finished product, it helps me to improve my skills by interacting with someone else's finished model. Personally, Kitbashes look horrible 90% of the time, so I prefer to build from scratch or from splines I make in illustrator. |
