From what I can see, so far Cryptic have used a fair few of Eaves and Dennings designs, so hopefully all the stuff Eaves is releasing now will be in the game.
Really liking how this mesh is progressing, about time we hadan engineering ship :-)
It's a really nice ship, but for the life of me I can't figure out how the curvy cutout on the underside of the nacelle pylons is supposed to look like in 3d, even with looking at the orthos.
Man, John Eaves' stuff rocks. I should start on one -- maybe I'll model the USS Sea Breeze, just to be a wierdo. :P
A wireframe, your wish is my command :cool:
Basically I just created a cylinder, deformed it, and deleted half of it for the front. Extruded straight to the back and cut in the cutouts manually.
Suricata: And then we can show Cryptic what they are missing out on, having dumped or redesigned Eaves' ships
And two images I did for fun because I wondered by how much exactly the D didn't fit in the spacedock (I think I still have the doors too wide / spacedock's scale too small)
So far most objects are placeholders, but I'm replacing them now with the proper ones and I hope to add detail soon.
So not modelling the Nova anymore ? Ok back to the ground, the model looks great so far but I think that applies to everything you did recently ... Looking forward to seeing more ! :thumb:
Oh by the way, don't tell me you did the Enterprises too !
Not as big of an update as I had hoped, but an update nonetheless.
Also a cutaway to show what kind of scale I'm going for, the guy is 1.80m tall. I was positively surprised to find room left for the warp core and shield generator below and above the habitable area
Oops, haha...yeah still trek stuff, of course :P
It's a manned subspace comm relay station, was seen in TNG Season 6 or 7.
It also doubled as the crystasis pod thing with the 20th century jerks in season 1.
Relay Station 47 looks good so far. I tried building it a few years ago with more detail than the original model had. Too bad I lost it when my HD crashed on me.
Little update on the shuttle (yes it's still going :P)
While working on the shuttle, I was thinking about how I could keep the relay station as small as possible and still fit the shuttle in there. Since the feds have all kinda fancy gravity tech; I thought separating hangar and habitat like this might work:

Thanks!
Docking bays are going to go in all the places where I stuck green boxes, I positioned them as accurately as possible.
Here's a quick fly-around I rendered: YouTube - Spacedock 720p H.264 MKV Test

Somacruz: Thanks , and no those aren't my Enterprises. I'll add credit where it's due.

Nice to watch these projects grow, keep going!
Minor progress, but progress none the less.
Warning, the following pictures are very WIP, and might not be suitable for all audiences
just joking
That's a really good-looking mesh Leon It would be really nice having it fly alongside your Nova class !
I already finished one. Now, IAâm fighting to finish one more.
I know what it like not to finished something. I got a HD full of unfinihsed models.
I only now stating to textuer the ones I have finsihed building.
Remember the old (and in this case distorted!) saying:
It is better to have started a model and not finished,
than never to have started at all!
(Shakespeare I'm not :rolleyes:)
Tiny update to the sliced open view, just for fun
Very early stages still, but I thought I might post it while it lasts
Image is a bit on the large side, with nothing much to see yet.
clicky

It also doubled as the crystasis pod thing with the 20th century jerks in season 1.
So this thing us supposed to hold the set seen on TNG, plus a type 15(?) cardboard shuttle somewhere. I'm open to suggestions regarding the location
