I have begun a new work, so I don't get much time for 3d design. I tried to make the bottom part. I had to redo it 3 times to get the "array" (I don't recall the name) right, because 3dmax would crash. I had to switch to a 32 bits version in the end. Anyway I slightly modified the phaser too. The second image is with a real omni lights, it brings a bit more the good colours.
Done my own nurnies below the nose. Also added the pitch stabilizer (Black round thing, like the Defiant model in terms of shape and size). Took my an eternity fixing symmetry problems...I don't know if the model have moved but it was so long to fix. I also tried pre-made nurnies, but importing shapes was messy for some reason. I found a way for making tubes with the bend deformer...it's the one I understand better.
Nice work Komaru. I really like the design. pls keep the updates coming. l

I have done the shuttle bay. Basically it is an inset room with a force field that goes through one side to the other, with optionnal door. Add a couple of things too on top of the bay and on the side.
Here are the series of images of the final ship. The last ones shows the added spots without any external lights with the ship name. I want to do a 4-5 minutes movie presentation, that why I also put the lights. It's also a mean to test my new video card and memory. I will probably do that later this week, because I don't want to loose my computer for 15 hours right now...

Just doing small updates, because I work on a night shift now. Doesn't leave me much time for 3D except maybe an hour or two on the week end.
She's looking good so far.
The details are looking good so far.
Ok, I am gonna put it. But I will leave it has a separate objets, just in case I hate it in the long run.
