Busy day
looks good so far! whats next after defender? if ya get another clean mesh id like to give another go at it. there was something wrong with the 3ds file i got is why i couldnt get those textures on the defender.
Hey guys - bin a busy day for me - sorry I couldn't chime in earlier - it's 02:30 and I'm just getting in from an after-hours install job. Looks like you all had a busy day too.
Nothing, what would you like a mesh of? As Skupilkinson noted the Astral Queen is ready, I just have to put together some reference pics. It's going to be a tricky unfold. Some of the parts at the rear had lot's of intersections and I had to do lots of chopping. If you're interested I can send it to you in Pep 1 or Pep 2 - tell me which you prefer. If you prefer another ship let me know and I'll work on cleaning up the mesh as quickly as I can.
If you look back at my previous post where I listed the ships and rated the effort, anything marked easy is a fairly clean mesh, or the intersections are such that they can be dealt with fairly easily.
I'm revising my estimate of the Celestra from medium to difficult. Lot's of small parts that will need to be figured out. I like to include as much detail as possible.
As for the heavy raider here's the requested shots. You can see that the "arm" should sit right up against that open area. I checked the original mesh, and as you thought I did raise the arm - but it was entirely unintentional. I didn't even know I'd done it. While working on the mesh I rotated those side pieces so they were vertical, which makes it easier to work on them, then rotated them back after wards. I guess they didn't quite get back to where they started. Not sure if it's worth correcting.
Gotta get to bed now. Don't know when I'll get the Liners finished, but I'll get something together for the Astral Queen this weekend and send it to whoever wants to tackle it. I'm going to have less free time for the next week or two so progress may slow a bit.
And by the way - the build looks great! I wanna build it myself now. It really is rewarding seeing a build pic of a model I helped create. Thanks!
Later guys,
SJ
I like the size of this one too. I've almost closed up the front end, going a tab at a time. Slow going but going all the same. I've also started the side engines, not much to see yet though.
