first: I thank you for your speed in responding.
next: the sharp parts on the ship are caused by my using subserf, and then using shift+E to change the affect of the modifier on those edges. I tride to use loop knife cut (that is what you suggested, is it not?) however it would not allow me to cut it close enough to be effectev. any suggestions on how to get rid of that bad looking edge?
The cockpit doesn’t fit the vessel seamlessly though it may be on purpose
no it does not, and no it is not intentionel. I personaly don’t like my entire fusalage (well, I don’t “LOVE” it) any thoughts or suggestions on that I would like to hear.
What kind of ship this is going to be? What are the blades for? They make the ship look sinister and stylized.
The ship is intedned to be a small, one man, short range fighter (as you can see I have not added wepons yet) it is still a developing concept.
the idea is that many can be lanched from the “carrier” for combat near the fleet. a modified version will be made with less ammo/weapons and a larger fuel tank for long range patroles.
and also: blades? what blades? thus far all design on this fighter is more decoration for that
sinister and stylized
look, so far they serve no practical purpose. (if their any suggestions, please, do not hesitate to offer them)
The point of this was to encourage you to write about the ship. Make specifications for it so you get what to model.
I like this idea. please ask any questions concerning the following:
as I said before, it’s design is a small one man fighter, that can be modified to do many different things. I also have designed another (smaller) ship that has simaler charicteristics, the plan of which is to be a scout. I was thinking of adding a few missile tubes on the bottem of the fusalege, and dule Laser cannons on the flat/sharp edges on the front end of the wings.
the whole idea for the fleet is that (subject to change) it is an alien fleet that is moving slowly through space distroying almost everything in their path (classic eh) directly in their path is earth. We find out about them by accedent. an experiment is being done to test a new concept for “faster than light travel” (at least thas the name the scientests are giving it. most of the “Earth Defence League” just call it warp drive. wahoo)
when the test is run, the small one man science craft (outfitted with the prototype) makes a succsesful 20,000 lightyear (approx) jump to the vacinity of Perseus Arm where he sees the alien armada distroying (and harvesting the resources from) a small solar system in that area. after preparing the ship for the jump back to earth the pilot watches as the fleet destroys the sun of that system. upon returning home he in forms earth of the comming enemy, and they begin preperations (it wasent that simple, but thats the long version)
and thats as far as I am. it still needs alot of work but it’s comming (the gaps in the story are just the deitails that I left out)
so my ultimate plan is to animate this entire story through a series of short animations.
questions? comments? insults?
