the impulse engines on the saucer remind me on the Ent-B. But that is not a bad think. keep up the good work.

The impulse engines work really well

CaptainRoop · 06-12-2006, 07:27 PM

So far all is looking great

Raideen · 06-13-2006, 01:06 AM

Nice Design I always liked your work.

Vec,

The ship is looking good. Now all we need is some detailing, registry numbers and tech specs and we will be ready to christen this beauty.

"Now all we need..."

Sheesh. Easy to say when you're not the one doing it, eh?

That said, Vektor HAS missed his second self-imposed deadline by, like, a mile.

Actually, I still have seven days left.

Although you have made termendous progress on the ship and I know this is the final version coming into the home stretch, I would venture to say you would have to lose 6 nights of sleep, not go to work anywhere and rarely eat or drink anything, parking yourself in front of the computer for those seven days. I suppose you could do it, but you would be one whiped puppy.

Although I have heard of miracles happening

^^ Yeah, yeah. No need to beleaguer the point.

I've gotten some significant work done on the secondary hull and the "head" that you only get to see when the saucer is separated. There are a lot of details here that are pertinent to the saucer separation scheme, so it's important to get them right.

Pay no attention to the battle bridge module. It's just a copy of the one on top of the saucer and will eventually be replaced by a different version. The segmentation you see around the rim of the "head" will also go away eventually.

Almost everything in these renderings is a single Sub-D object, all but the bridge and the docking bay doors, and it has really been straining my quad-poly modeling skills to their limits. I may yet go back and do a few things a little differently just to simplify the mesh and make the final version more efficient. Trying to build too much detail into a Sub-D object for something like this is just counter-productive; better to freeze it at a certain point and add the other stuff later.

Tomorrow I'm gonna do some more work on my Vanguard model, but I'll be back for another round of updates on the Grandeur in a couple of days.

	There comes a time in human events when mean ungodly people reject the peaceful laws of GOD and inflict suffering and pain to such a degree that only WAR will stop it. When that happens the Prince of Peace becomes the man of War in order to stop it.
