Yey.

What's next?

Neah...

LOWERPOLY_STARSHIP_CONCEPT.skp

Yeah, but it's not as sleek. Maybe a bit wider would be ok but that is way to wide.

Now how's this for a clash of styles?

Low poly version and subdivided version.

Thank you and I have to thank the Holy Laws of Hazard.

Are you looking at my gallery on DA?http://marian87.deviantart.com/gallery/

Hey this post has on average 100 views a day, I just relised that, ever get the feeling we are being watched,

I hope we'll eventually have something to show to the people watching us.

No, it's just orbital and might have a few shuttles...maybe attached to the hull?
We'll see if it needs more small modular engines or one big engine depending on the shape.

It should definitely be the front.

I have a lot of favourite ships....can't really decide on one that we should use as referecence.
Lets just write up a description of how it should look.
So it should be a 200m Exploration cruiser with a solid, sleek and sexy shape. It should look advanced, not a cluncker. It's not a warship so it's not full of weapons, though it should definitely have a few for protection and for experiments and other reasons.

Looking forward to see that Spaceship rendered once you both decide to build different things

It's gonna look cool....maybe.

Can I see the image?

Well done BTW

It was a luck thing. No ability or talent was requiered, just the dumb luck to have your name drawn from a list.

No, nothing new.

So...should we start looking at making another ship from scratch?

The model you started has potential.

I taught your design was shite too
Well that is harsh.

Thank you very much guys.
I can't believe I actually won something like this.
I'm looking forward to give Thea a try. That'll probably happen next week, I can't wait.

That would be great. Just simplify the geometry and leave the panelling and other small details for when we have the whole ship in a coherent shape.

Like you said...it is a challenge to adapt to each other's styles, but I'm hoping we'll both learn something new. Sorry if I may sound harsh sometimes.

I like the shape, but the geometry makes it very difficult to work with. It's too high poly.

I either use low poly objects that I build up into complex shapes or I make low poly objects on which I use SDS/Artisan to then have an organic shape and then I add details. This way it's very easy to make modifications and work only on the shape without details getting in the way.

Exactly, this is beautiful, it looks like a ship that could work in the real world and the texture is fantastic, I love it

Thanks.
I agree it looks beautiful but I have doubts about real world applications.

This one?

I think I have to make the ship more compact, it looks a bit flimsy and doesn't have much coherency this way.

Alrighty, I tried combining all the things I liked from both of us. There's still alot of room for improvement though.
Also I just measured the ship and it has about 200m.
