    Panels are looking awesome. I love the detailing on and around the impulse housing, too.

    Thanks, bunch of decals on the tan panel;s and the start on the greebs in the holes above the impulse assembly.

    Some more details. Spent last few days grinding for "boobcurtain" and "purplegoth" in GI so progress was slow. (just google Shenhe and Yun Jin) Then again speed has been slow as a norm lately for me.

    Ooooooohhh…

    Decided some of these parts are to crispy so going through and increasing chamfers and rounding. Dunno where my brain was on this.

    Taking a break and planning out panels, most of the work is invisible as it is the tedious job of straitening edges so I can be lazy later on and also avoid panels cutting across geometry edges.

    Ignore the turned edge smoothing error.

    Did them in a even spacing but the image it clearly uneven width so there will be more tuning to do.

    Fantastic detailing.
  • MadKoiFishMadKoiFish9712 Posts: 5,302Member
    Sub panels in. Need to step them back from the edges more(front to back) I think I need to add more blue to the material for these panels too. Before I touch any of the one forward of these I will need to readdress the spacing as even spacing does not seem to work out to match the image fully.

    I’m kinda digging the Chris Foss look, lol.
  • MadKoiFishMadKoiFish9712 Posts: 5,302Member
    lol, I had the same thought when it rendered out the last post prior. Sadly it is only just delineated to help me see where panels will be. In the past this would be so I could quick select the panels but in this case I think I will likely be chamfering in the edges not extruding the faces. But we will see as the dark blue and dark teal panels are inset to the main panels. So those will likely be extruded out of the mains. I am figuring the rear panel sets are going to have the same set up as the ones closer to the bridge as the dark blue ones do not really show that "outline" of a larger panel.

    In the renders I am just splitting off the larger panels for the inset blue ones so I can see how front to back placement sits on the hull itself.

    Sweeet... that middle render is a sexy angle... ;)
  • MadKoiFishMadKoiFish9712 Posts: 5,302Member
    Test run with all the grids in and rounded and the inner panels extruded. I am planning to add a few segments of panels aft of this strip to fill in the extension of the shuttle bay. Last render shows where I need to adjust the widths of the larger panels so the patterned teal parts match the image better.

    I think it must be Starfleet ships color is ghost gray and light blue only on hall. They never use a yellow hall. (I hate yellow) Where is the windows?

    Ok the upper and lower sub panels are now the same material so you can better see how they will lay out. I am still mulling over the space between the what will be blue panels and the tan area which will be main hull color as seen in the drawing. EG the vertical gap.
    emissary-0538.jpg

    Note everything aft of the teal wasp waist area is temp, as this is the area that is not seen and of course likely to change. Requirements are that the teal is full coverage at the aft and waisted towards the front as the panels clearly angle in to the central super in the drawing.

    I love that pattern.
  • MadKoiFishMadKoiFish9712 Posts: 5,302Member
    Started chamfering out the grids and extruding the blue panels. Chamfered grids are just black decals atm they will be extruded in like the superstructure grids once I am done. I am also slowly rounding the teal cuts but I not extruding them out yet as I need to define the inner blue panels as well as the possible complication of the panels themselves.
    Still working out the colors, I tried the matching the blue in the image but it was just to saturated and contrasty. Even the current teal is just a bit strong. I have left a lot of it so it DOES have that contrast for WIP mode.

    render shows adjusted colors. . ignore any possible smoothing errors.

    Also need to figure out what changed here as the main new posts tab keep crashing, probably one of the dependencies the backbone relies on.

    I like it. The amazing technicolor starship. 😁
  • MadKoiFishMadKoiFish9712 Posts: 5,302Member
    Heh stick some animated pngs or mkv files as textures with stoner rainbow unicorn puke in the lum slot.

    Only 4 panels to go and 3 grids. Here is a full render of all the bits and the updated panel colors. Green is still a flat surface as mentioned earlier.

    That's looking great! My only small suggestion might be to slightly increase the saturation on the non-teal blue on the inboard sides, as they look slightly more saturated on the illustration, and in the renders it looks a bit too soft in comparison to the teal, but that might just be my eyes. The transporter emitters and all details are looking magnificent.

    Have to agree with the others, you've developed detailing your ships into an art form.

    I had drabbed the blue down as there are so many competing colors on this ship. So here is a go of a darker blue. Tonally it is about the same as the teal now. I am working off the idea that all of those inner areas in the drawing are in "shadow" such as the base panels that are light blue are hull color.
    emissary-0550.jpg

    Also as looking at this front view I need to do something with all those converging hull panel lines and the similar teal bits at the nose. Too much junk collecting there and is getting visually messy. I will likely end those panel lines running parallel to the central teal tapered inset. That or have them run off the side and end into the larger panels flanking it. KIM all of these will be extruded in like they are on the central hull panels so they will not be as bold as they are now.

    Yeah, I think it looks fine like that now. The ship does have a lot of color going on, lol, which is cool… I kind of like ships like that, such as the Ambassador and so on.
