Ok, I've added the side engines and sensor winglets....

I'm afraid that nothing new has been developed.

Happy Birthday! Enjoy that cake!

Wow, that's awesome. I bet that with those moves, Wile E Coyote can finally catch that roadrunner.

awesome....

I think this is what you want. Am I right?

Well, the one with the side engines on is only a SDS version, I haven't made the modifications yet on the low poly. I just wanted to see how it looked.
I'll do more after the weekend, now it's party time.

I doubt they'll do that by 2045, but it might facilitate technology that communicates directly with the brain. It would make for better prosthetics and may be the advent fo the mind controlled mecha I always wanted

lol, ths texturing, i could never pull it off

mmyeah...it is a daunting prospect.

Great....now the hard part.

I've known about Pinterest for a few months but it didn't raise my interest that much. I'm addicted to Deviantart the same way you guys are to Pintinterest, to get inspired. Where else can I get my fix of spaceships and mecha?

How about we adopt the tech design for my other ship and put it in the same universe, then we can use this picture as a guide.

Happy Birthday Boo!!!!

Solo, that type of texture looks pretty cool, but i don't know if I can pull it off with my limited experience.

Damien, what kind of detail? I agree with solo on not having big obvious guns. A ship this size might have a few high power lasers for research and other things though. Other than that...we could add some sort of greeble or nurnies here and there.
If we're texturing I think first we should single out most of the near flat areas. I'm gonna use the path select tool from the SketchUV plugin to do some of that and then UVmap them. I haven't done much work with it before.

YEY

Now what?

Interesting ideas you got there Hepf.
I like streamlined shapes, they look good in any medium

It's not bad, I like it. I thought at first that you deleted the back section or modified what was there. That bridge bit is very blended it works very well.

That's better.
