Started working on the materials... early days, colours may not be final etc

Neither! Since the original had all the fibres sticking out a small amount, I decided to have mine set in a slightly-protruding frame. Completely avoids the need for any cutting, and looks more authentic to the original miniatures too.

The windows make use of a window box shader to fake a room behind. I made 11 different room sets, and close-up using EXRs they look pretty good...:


but from a distance they read terribly badly, so I opted for PNGs instead, and sadly the effect is largely lost:


but honestly, it will do. You don't want to get any closer to the ship than this anyway really.


I spent the last couple of days walking around the ship turning off lots of lights. These Romulans have a habit of leaving them on when they're not at home.








So I'm basically done with modelling now. Just a few things to tidy up before I move on to maps and materials and wrapping it all up.

Agreed.
Nicely done thus far.
Which modeling software are you using?
Cinema4D or something else?

Yes, C4D. Rendered in Redshift.


I have now placed all the windows - now to add in some variety and turn lots of them off

Really nice take on this - looking good

Lots of greebling has been done. I don't enjoy this kind of thing much, so it's slowed me down more than normal Done with it now though - only the windows left to do now! (and materials, obviously)
