How to build the Starship Enterprise in TrueSpace 3 - Page 15 - Scifi-Meshes.com

Toragh1 · 06-16-2006, 03:38 AM

I'm thinking about doing this in Rhino. Some of the commands are the same, so why not?

As for boolean tools, I find that the "split" command works better then "boolean difference" (basicly cuts away whatever object your cutting, and automaticly deletes the excess parts). This really screws up the model sometimes, but "split" seems to not do that as much. Plus, somtimes you find uses for the excess stuff, like you see the object " in a new light" as it were. I'll post examples later if anyone wants them.

Just wandering, but has boolean always been a pain in the @$$! I've only worked in Rhino, so I don't know about other programs with boolean tools.

Ok Eric - Scout class rebuild has come to a halt - whats the countdown to next installment.

This is one rocking tutorial and easy to transfer (Blender in my case)

C'Mon Eric. You've inspired a bunch of ta build the Connie, and now you're fallin' behind.

Chop chop!

True enough. I've got to get to work on the impulse section.

For July Eric is going to show us all how to build the Miranda Class and all the Varients

Isn't that right
