First render test. Got a long ways to go yet. I still see model flaws that need to be fixed.

...and done.

Moving over to Gallery page.

Thanks again to everyone for their help and advice!

well done mate....nice piece of modelling

....just needs to be placed in a great scene for a render to give it justice

Thanks Gareth.

This is beautiful! Do you have a deadline? What are you going to use to render this with?

Thanks Elibjr.

No deadline, just another exercise.

I'm using Kerythea, a free rendering program. See the new thread on the main Gallery page.

Just a couple of tiny things about your model that might have been causing one or two of the problems you mentioned way back.
You have some of the axes set incorrectly, a bit far from the actual components. This can cause clipping.
You have also used groups in several situations where components would be far more useful.
Components would reduce the file size and mean one edit changes all.
And some bits and pieces are scaled differently to the model, it can be a helpful to set the component instance to the model size when you are finished, this way textures are uniform.

Great model though, don't get me wrong, just trying to help.

Thanks Box.

That's a big help. I wonder why that happened? I'm sure it was something I was doing, but what, I don't know what.

I usually do use components, but I start them as groups until I'm sure of the final shape, but I sometimes forget to go ahead and make them components. I guess I will have to start them as components from now on.

The scale relationships were due to creating tiny details that had to be enlarged to be created. I did not know you could change the relationship after. Good to know. Exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.

I am still learning workflow as well as modeling tools and appreciate any help I can get.

How can I show all axis and what do I do make them all "common"? In other words, use the same single axis.

Model info -> components -> show component axes

There are plugins to change the axes, e.g. Axes tools
