I've been working on and off on this for the last 6 months. Finally I'm confident enough to show it here.

I probably would do a lot of things differt if I were to start over. But limited time will force me to finish this one. Because I need a ship of my own to play with. :devil:

    I think it looks fantastic. Great work. Did you fully model the drop-down shuttle underneath or just do the underside of it?

    Funny you should mention that :)

    Aye, that's a cracking looking shuttlecraft. The main ship looks cool too.

    Cool. It's nice to see the Waverider getting a proper build after all of these years.

    Slow and steady wins the race. :) It's looking good. The only suggestion I have is to make your paneling line up better with the saucer geometry.

    Yeah, I really dislike texturing. Got any pointers?
    The shape of a nova is somewhat more difficult than a saucer shape :D

    Looking great. Are you going to texture the windows are block in some rooms behind them?

    What I would do is render a top-down orthographic view, take that into a vector graphics program and do some drawing. Sorry, that's all I've got.

    Spend some time in photoshop and max today. Think I'm getting somewhere. Don't really have experience with blocking rooms after windows. Are they simples planes with texture put behind it?

    That's looking amazing.

    For the windows, there are a couple of options. You could just use textures, or build basic rooms behind the windows and just texture them. I think some people just put screenshots of rooms on. They did something like that for the First Contact physical model. It really sells that model to me in a way that the TMP model didn't. If you're really wanting to get close up, you could put low poly furniture in there as well, though obviously that's something that you can work in and out on a shot by shot basis.

    Beautiful work. Your build looks very clean to me. I see you don't like to texture? Me neither; I do my surfacing the same way you do. I would dial down the contrast on your paneling just a bit.

    It's looking fantastic. The textures you have on the hull fit the contours much better. It looks like you're nearly done with this. :)

    Looks cool, but I think if you spent a little more time on the material and glow for the buzzard collectors that would really set it off a treat.

    Lovely renders.

    Is she meant to be a slipstream vessel? If I recall, the original deflector of this vessel resembled the Intrepid-Class', with glowing blue around an orange/gold centerpiece.
    This reminds me of the Merian-Class, Odyssey-Class, and something else that I just can't quite name right now, and I'm not sure why. I like it though. Makes me think she's designed with a kick-ass upgrade to best her predecessor.

    Actually, I just really disliked the original deflector :)

    Oh. Well here I go overcomplicating things. Haha. It looks really awesome though.
