Cheers Scootes. and when you gonna update the Hammond a bit more???
tonight actually... if I can get time away from getting my fracking car working again but I should have some work done on it tonight and I will post when I have somthing.
Well, it's maybe just my paranoia, but look at my Valkyrie. I think those side goldols (sublight engines) gives it much of ST look, and those are taken directly from Prometheus. Front of Prometheus is also somehow spreaded, I can imagine that in few following designs it could became oval front of early Starfleet ships. And Prometheus' tower is missing on Deadalus, where however gondols became hangars (although I doubt that gondols on Prometheus were originaly intend as hangars).
I suppose it could be argued that your ship does have some similarities, but the point i was trying to make was that your ship looked more like a ST ship than an SG one.
And if the Prometheus and Daedalus owe an homage to any design, then they owe it to BSG, not Trek.
But i'll say no more.

What about loosing the curves a bit and give it more of a Tau'ri blocky look.... It is an NID/Tau'ri ship after all...
Been cleaning up the polys on the New ship. After deleting a load of un-needed ones i've got this down to...
9,022.
After reading the WIKI blurb on the Corvette class of RL ship i've deided to have this one and maybe in the future try my hand at a Frigate. (Once i get the poly reduction stuff done, thatt is)
Anyway... the pics-
Overview
Work on the bridge and Airlock (The funy Mapping thing on the panels has been fixed b4 someone points it out)
Sweet!
That looks big enough to fit a Stargate into...
Given what we have learned from the first two episodes of the new season of Atlantis, we now know that you put a gate into a ship in space, and dial it up!!!(As long as it's stationary)
The possibilities are endless!
Keep the pics coming.

Freekzilla: I don't quite know how the antialiasing processes of Max and Bryce compare, but if they are anything alike then 64 Samples is an insane amount :eek:
The most I've ever used was 16 samples, for a very small image...
He he he. Yeah, I'm not sure if they are alike either. Insane amount? What, who me? :devil: I just did a re-render last night of an image and I had it set to 256 Rays Per Pixel, and on a 1280 x 960 image size! Just to see how it turned out. Can't see a huge difference in it and a slightly lower level AA render. Mostly because the particular scene didn't have a lot of tiny details. I am going back to re-render some old models. Some of which will take some time to render, considerable time at the levels I am intending to use.
I included a pic of the render options of Bryce. Maybe it will give a clue as to how like Max's Sampling it is. It sort of sounds like it in a way. What do you think?
Funny story about it. Me and Rjb started basically at the exact same time modeling the Daedalus.
It was the first time I put so much detail into a ship, and I like the result.
Im at a little hurdle with it though. Because it is so high poly, and so much textures are in it, that it slows my computer down to the point of freezing. So its on hold right now, with no lighting and spec maps. Still looks good though.
I have sort of finished the two forward bays on my ship and I started to make the top deck of my ship now. What do you think? Remember it is faaaar from completion and I'm still trying to implament some designs I want. Anyway any comments will be appreciated:). Also the Daedalus in the image is made by Grzegorz.
How do you make a hyperspace scene or an under water look in max?
I belive you set the background color to a scene under render options.
as for your ship... I simply must ask... why are there three controle towers?? and that is one big ship dude... it looks as if it could possibly be a repair ship for large vessels? just a posibility but I think it might work good like that so that all tau'ri ships dont have to fly to earth to get fixed, have a massive hyperdrive so it can get to the ships fast and get them fixed and ready for battle. it would have lotsa room for spare parts. just an idea you dont have to do it that way was just brainstorming(and it hurt too btw) was just a plausable possability:D

ok enough of my rantings for now

Only the middle one is going to have the main bridge on it the others are back up and they also help keep the main bridge informed of certain things during battles and they could run a secondary set of tasks as well when they stand down. It should also serve as a repair vessel since there won't be a huge space near the engines section that can be utilized to store parts and such insted of ships, incase and it would be really good for Atlantis as well, and it should be able to land it self on a planet as well incase it needs to serve as a command centre. And it is made with Asgard technology so a lot of space can be saved by utilizing beaming technology and speical material processing areas as well. And I'm also gonna make that strip on the front a catapult for launching ships faster and even for launching cluster weapons against large enemy fleets. Now I just need to formulate the back story...............and finish the modeling of course. Oh and it is huge but just how huge though I'm not really sure, it should be -at its smallest- as large as a hive ship.......I think. Oh and rants like yours are helpfull, more of those could be useful;)

.....
i don't see it myself, can you elaborate plz?
tonight actually... if I can get time away from getting my fracking car working again
yes please elaborate... I cant see it either... on a side note thou it is a very interesting ship and I wouldent mind seeing that in 3d.

those are some realy nice ships boberth. I can see some deady heatige but nothing overpowering and very origanal good job:thumb:

You're telling me you haven't seen the two first eps of the new season yet?
I'll keep my mouth closed in that case...
