Thanks guys! The inset at the front was a bit of a homage to the Intrepid class. I know windows aren't great for battle but its transparent aluminum ;)hehehe

Here's another rough concept angle. I'm tying to reference the Defiant because they would technically be similar sizes, but I suppose this ship would be an extension of the Defiant class' role in quick recon scouting.

I tried to do some research on how registries are figured out and it sounds like its pretty much whatever. So I kept it close to Defiant lineage lol

Okay! Time!for textures. How do I do textures in blender? xD

I realized I bit off more than I can chew so I'm starting with something simple I found in my references folder lol its a missile launcher from some find an model kit probably. Lol

Here's the ref:


And the result of two hours face by face modeling, and trying to figure out Blenders Booleans

Edit: I figured rather than make a new thread every time, I'll just upload my WIPS here.


So 17 years ago when I was a wee lad on SFM (trooper13 for those who remember) I had a ship design called the sabrewolf.

I have since completely lost everything about it except that it was a bit bigger than a Defiant class, but a bit bulkier and with heavy weapons.

This go around I've decided to make her sleeker and thinner, but just as deadly.

Anyway, I have decided to officially return to my home, and beginning this project is a good way to do that. Lol. So without further ado, the rough concept:

Nice stuff! I noticed you mentioned you'd like to break away from the 1980s styles. Maybe you could model some of my concepts for a different feel?

Still though, seriously awesome. I regret quitting modelling 10 years ago. I could be so much further ahead if I had kept with it. :l

It's never too late to pick it up again! And you do have a plethora of concepts to work out going by your posts here. The biggest hurdle is just learning the software.

I have picked up again! Currently learning blender. I have so many more concepts on my Instagram hehe. Can't wait to get them out!
