its a cool ship

[Experiment 442]

it does look like the big long mon calamari cruiser in star wars.

[FN-P90]

Ive been trying to do alittle paneling and stuff. Im new at it so it wont look great.

Spoiler:

It doesn't need that many radar spires.

so take out most and leave 2 or three? Should i bunch them up or spread them out?

I'd leave the top ones and perhaps 3 of the bottom ones. It just looks too repetitive the way that they are right now, there are too many of them and it's just distracting.

I'd say have 2 major ones and a few smaller secondary ones, and leave it at that. And make them differ in length and diameter enough to help break up the repetitiveness a bit more. Then it should look good.

I like your panelling, you're doing good.

The deck?

Which part are you referring to?

Everything that isnt the side lol and i mean everything

That should be the easier part. Nice flat and rectangular surfaces. I always find the sides to be the hardest because you start getting crazy angles and whatnot.

Hey, nice job reworking the textures! Much better. They look much more natural and less repetitive, good work

[Experiment 442]

looks great

Also: i finished my acient frigate! !
the image is just a little bit big.

Spoiler:

keep in mind its not really finished yet.

[FN-P90]

Really looks like the Pillar of Autumn

[Experiment 442]

Really looks like the Pillar of Autumn

what's that?

and does anyone know where i can get a 3d softwere that does the same as 3ds max but free?

and who likes my new sig?
