dude if you want an honest opinion i think this ship looks awesome as all hell....BUT< i do 100% believe it looks way better with the lower section on it.
that part is like a center piece man it draws my eye because its different. you see too many vessel out there being thought of that follow a certain Hull layout and this one had a very Unique look to it with that bottom part. not only that but it goes great with the shape of the ship itself and with it being gone the Tower looks too tall.
also im lovin the armor plates
Guess whoAâs back. I really had lack of time last few months and I also switched on 2.5 version. So when IAâve had energy to play with, IAâve just tried to learn and try out how to do what I want. I have then number of side projects and I sort of put aside model of frigate. But now when is out pretty stabile version, IAâve came back to her. Not much progress to see now, but IAâve spent most of time rethink and remodeling a number of variations of her missile system. In the end I pick up this composition. Not much detailed now but itAâs pretty much the same as SM-1 on todays sea ships. So here is just a little sample and I really hope that I Aâll be able to posting at least once a week or two some further progress.
I really need to know how you did some of this in blender. I'd like to know how you did the hull panels and the 3d hex grid on the engine exhausts. I'm trying to get similar effects.
Well all stuff on her is hard model made by hand. So panels are basicaly extruded planes and that hexagonal grid is made from circle with 6 verticles then i made plane with hole from that circle. Then I made grid (i did it by hand but i think that array modifier will work fine to do it ) and extruded it...

Well, array sort of works up to a point, but getting a true grid with it is very hard. I can make a hex the way you did, then use array to add one on top, then spindupe 6 steps, 360 degrees to make a 7 hexagon circle, but to make an unlimited array is hard.
that's a cool looking ship you have there, I'm not 100% on the front "wings" but they look like something that can grow on you. Looks like you've put quite a bit of time in the greebles too, they look good
So, as frigate project is slowly coming to its end (btw. itAâs Trident class, and sheAâll be named as TFSNS Hood), itAâs time bring to the light another model. Frigate is in TFSN smallest serially produced type of ship(by its class 180-250m), on the other side the bigest, is a battleship(900-1200m). (This one is a Nova class, no name yet.) And ofcourse this is only first look at basic shape of hull...

Small update, forward section...
Bottom view...
Still working on details and tweaking her...
I also started playing with stuff for animation which i intend to create... This is first testvid...
