Progress update

Quite a lot of progress as I've not posted here in a while;

1701-D Updates

We have a bridge module! What a truly odd shape to try and model, I'm happy with this for now though. I added some small detail embellishments just to make it hold up a bit better on extreme closeup.

I've also tweaked a retweaked the deflector area, I think at this point I'll just say that's as close and I'm going to get it and move on.

Texturing

I wanted to have a go at some texture work so that I can nail down a workflow and dial the materials in. This is pretty close to where I want to be with it;

Glows and Bussards

Right so I spent some time playing with the bussards and cleaning up some mesh errors. I guess soon I'm going have to stop messing around and just freeze the subd and get on with it!

Galaxy Progress

After taking a break from blender I've found some time to work on the Galaxy class. Rough nacelles in and a hell of a lot of tweaking to proportions. The lack of 100% canon schematics for the 6ft model means that there's a hell of a lot of staring at reference photos, eyeballing it, then endlessly tweaking.

Akira tweaks and the birth of a Galaxy...

I've been adding interiors to the Akira to help the animations stand up a bit better, as well as playing with getting some more interesting looking lighting. I also tweaked the hull material slightly;

Aside from fiddling with the Akira, I've mader a start on a Galaxy Class mesh, I can see this one being a very long term project...
