The Engine looks good.
Interesting Idea with the zig zag on the Engines.

I would not worry to much with texturing at this moment. Leave that until you have finished. I normally change a colour of a object to remind me what I want there. But the rest is all done at the end.

This is an interesting looking ship you have here, I look forward to seeing more on it soon

Keep up the good work

I'm not crazy about the front section (it's a bit too boxy IMO), but the engines look great.

**moebius** · 09-30-2008, 05:15 PM

Pretty nifty... I still can't quite imagine the scaling on this thing... three decks... I like what you've done so far... please post more updates.

Thank's for the input guys! well thread will go dead for a couple days i think i just found out i have to go out of town for business from wed-tue not to happy with having to leave on short notice but such is life....

Addressing Concerns:
Scaling i accualy deleted all my gribmbling on the side last night before bed i will work on better smaller grimbling to give her a bigger feel..

Boxy Front end: That is for now ive played with smoothing her i quite like it but still need to look in to that.
she defiantly has a BSG feel to her also a Star-ship Trooper feel

I'm afraid I'm going to have to voice a minority opinion about the engines. They need to be balanced. Having the middle engine lower down than the engines on the sides means it's going to be pitched up. That might be an interesting way to turn the ship, but in straight flight it won't work. You need a forth engine on the top edge. Otherwise, IG? It's looking good. Keep it up!

Acccualy in space engines are used to get to speed not maintain speed so techincaily to get to a speed all you would need is a quick burst of the thrusters and manuvering thrusters on the bow of your vessel... correct me if im wrong thou...

with the right computer 1 burst of energy from the engines would send her sailing with making adjustments with manuvering thrusters....

Laws of motion: A object in motion stays in motion unless an outside force interferers

space = no gravity!!!!

or close to it

Ice-Dragon · 10-01-2008, 02:27 PM
