indeed i can subD and add displacement maps but i am still working on my particles and general VFX skills so atm its still a far off making a flush and a Live event horizon but i am working on it.

no need for displacement maps. i have the option of displacing via the texture. the puddle texture will morph the flat plane into a puddle. it takes quite a subD level, but it could be worth it. and from the looks of it your comp does not suffer from high verticles. -
that technique is damned easy, and will make it go fast, I used tangent, when it turns teal, I still needed the triangles though, thisway though, goes super fast!Comment

@boberth2o
this is a very quick way of showing you the technique alltho i suspect you know it already
but look it over!

It's pretty good except it wont work if you have a defined arc to follow for all three axes.Originally posted by Alx View PostComment

only works for two axes, but it does helpComment

I HATE MY COMP... it just killed SU and made the file disappear...Comment

how do you mean?Originally posted by boberth2o View Post
and this is the fastest and most effective way i know how to tackle Organics in SU and i use this technique for just about everything i make and judging by my work it works very well it also increased my modeling speed by a thousand fold as just like i said use it for everything even beveling.
my SGU gate for instance, i used this technique on every last part on it same goes for my newest Destiny.
imo its the most effective and time saving way i know.Originally posted by locutes View PostComment

i killed a laptop at school with SU. twice. black screen of death. although Blender gives me a black and white blocked screen of death.I HATE MY COMP... it just killed SU and made the file disappear...Comment

i have never had issues wuth SU using the current techniques in my arsenal i ahvent even had a bugspalt or other errors in atleast 4-5 monthsOriginally posted by thekillman View Post
example of what the technique i described to Bob and Loc can do in just 5 min.Comment

I believe this style is only effective since you have one free variable. That means you can choose what you want one axis to be. For BSG ships and my ship we have no free variables, the width, height and length are exact. The edges are following three different defined arcs on all three axes. I would be very difficult and time consuming to model the engine below even if you mirrored it on the z-axis using that method.Originally posted by Alx View PostComment

I must say, I gotta love the way you designed your ship. It ain't no simply copy, it's a complete new class, that straight back of the ship starting at the hull going all the way to the back is geniusComment

ok, i just started again and got a decent head now, I hope

SU isn't the error. the comp at school couldn't handle it. you on the other hand, well, that destiny would cause a meltdown on my computer.i have never had issues wuth SU using the current techniques in my arsenal i ahvent even had a bugspalt or other errors in atleast 4-5 monthsComment

school computers are usually crap here in the Netherlands. My own comp only has problems with it when it's hot here in my attic, and or when I do too much at the same time.
Causing a meltdown on school computers is easy
Sometimes when I'm bored I start modelling but often when I am getting somewhere the comp is shut down for I was 'abusing' it according to those idiots in charge of school comps...... (buy a fracking real computer! Not one from the stone age I'd say )

Thank you. I'm very proud of this model because of all the effort and time it took to make it.Originally posted by locutes View Post
I like it, its very sleek and it looks like the ship would be fast. I cany wait to see the rest of what you have in store!Originally posted by locutes View Postok, i just started again and got a decent head now, I hope
