[WIP] Deep Space Nine

Artwork Works in Progress
1

First off, I am a complete newb when it comes to Blender, so all tips and information is greatly appreciated. I still don’t know how to texture this thing, or how to do proper lighting but I am sure I will figure it out along the way.

I am currently working on the space station from DS9. I tried doing the Enterprise, Voyager and the Defiant, but I just can’t seem to get the shapes down correctly. DS9 has been a lot easier for me to put together. I plan to finish this model. Everything seems to be within my skill level.

Off to a good start. DS( looks complex but remember- Break it down. Each individual shape isn’t tough, just work on each and put them tofether.

I hope you’ll finish it very soon, it looks already great.

I just saw this pop up in the “Your topic is similar to…” box when posting my own DS9 model! https://blenderartists.org/t/deep-space-nine/1115128. The world is full of coincidences…!

This is a great start, shows a lot of promise. I can confirm what others have said in that DS9 is a really (almost deceptively) tricky thing to model, and texturing (with all the little windows) is a pain in the ar**. I agree with what @lexx has said, break it down into manageable chunks.

Keep with it as it will be a good learning experience. I am not exactly the authority, but ping me if you want to discuss how to approach it.
