Original Starship Design Thread

Most of the models I've posted here were made on a seven year old computer...

well I need some ideas for the hull, and yes, I was meaning to make a fast ship.





I need some help with my flight pod, could anyone suggest a way how I can get this problem to go away?

I need to cut an edge off, but I do not seem to be getting it right, it continuesly ends getting fracked up....

well yes it can be done that that way yes but its agonisigly slow and painfull and i personally stumbled across a fast easy way of doing it which intur i just showed Loc how to do and i think he can vouch for the easy and effiscient technique.

ahem you stumbled????

i do believe i was the one to show you that technique ALEX

How many segments are there? If there isn't a lot you could just draw a line at the point of intersection.

go to the view tab click on hidden geometry then the pencil tool.

follow the curve of the outer hull on the piece you want to cut off. make sure you attatch a point at all intersections. once you are done making the curve delete the unneccessary material

well we have two types of computers at school. laptops, and i won't even try Blender on that since it's simply worse than my own computer, and we have regular PC's, which can run blender nicely, have computing power but crap graphics since my computer renders MUCH faster

[locutes]

ok we have a shouting war at our hands.....


Anyway, there are 48segments, and cutting it away takes time, but also, some parts I cannot seem to get right....... which is hell

[locutes]

Ok, flight pod done.

Draw it on paper first

[locutes]

i cannot draw, if i draw it looks like my dead dog craped on it and even I can never make out what it is xd

It wasn't easy to make the helmet fit over the glasses

I'm sure I'll start making ships again eventually...

[locutes]

I've reached an impasse with my bsg ship... this is soo hard!
