Helle Everyone,
Im working on a new ship that is based on the Normandy (the SR1), its not exactly the same style, but the engines and the hull shape are based on it.
it's not completed yet (offcourse it isn't, or it will be in the finished map) but i can't show it from the beginning (started working on it without expentations so first i didn't post it)
Also i got another ship, yes i'm working on a lot of ships at once, but this one isn't based on something just my own design.
(Still everything is made with SketchUp)

i am also using SKP^^ but what programm do you use for rendering?

However few things I'm curious about...
1.) How'd you manage to map that nice texture?
2.) Those dark indents in he hull, how'd you manage to get that? Or is it apart of the texture?
The texture you mentioning is not really it's just painted in SketchUp like you see on the images below:
Your second question is also done in SketchUp itself let me show you:
First draw your shape you want:
Place squares just beside the other lines:
Then you intersect them, and delete the squares:
-Shut of the hidden geometry and you can paint the lines.
Besides that thanks for the positive reactions i've received!!
You are doing a really great job with this mesh. I'd love to see other designs based in the same universe
The render in the attachment is better, below is from Picasa:
Also, I like how the ship kinda-vaguely looks like one of the old chrome-cigar rockets. That somehow just fits with the ME 'verse.
made another space render from another angle, also i made a piece of interior for the ship hope you like it.

are you designing it so it'll fit inside the exterior? as I recall the Mass Effect interiors don't really fit inside the Normandy exterior . . .
Yes it really fits, but i dont combine the models, the files are too big for my computer to work fine while combined.
Sorry for the lack of updates last time, but i was pretty busy with school, also my computer wasn't working well.
So today i worked on something else than the ship (or the interior). I don't know yet what it's goanna be, but i was thinking of a custom made Mass Relay (after the war with the reapers, maybe they had to rebuild some). Or just a space station.
Here are the images:
