You have to make a texture map.

then apply it to the models surface.

I have to start using blender.

Could some one give me advice on how to put a little more detail in the hull of my ships, just so i can make it look a little bit more realistic?

[boberth2o]

Well hull plating for one is a good thing. It would look better if yo add stuff like airtanks, windows, and other greebles that look cool to the hull. It will all tie together in the end.

[FN-P90]

Can you give me an example os Airtanks, so i can get an idea of what i can do,

Oh and thanks for all the help i truely appreciate it.

It seems that I am in the speed modeling mood tonight, Here is another update. Here is some information about the model so far. There are several building models that are cannon with the atlantis model, which is about ten. And then there are the buildings that I had to create, which there are about thriteen. Hope you like it. I do.

I am not sure, for the city about five hours. But the buildings took much longer, the only buildings that I didn't create are the Control Tower, the Mini Control Tower, and the Drone Hatch.

Ok heres the Olympia again, I've added a little bit more detail, i think im getting the hang of this

Still wroking on the specs

[boberth2o]

If you add depth to the hull plating, windows and hangers, their stand out more and distinguish your model more.

Very good bob! You have a good eye for ancient buildings.

[Dr Lee]

wow.......

I too have a new project going.....

Warning BIG image inside

Spoiler:

Not got that much in the way of stats for this yet. Crew of 1-captain, 2- co-pilots, 3-engineers in two shifts. a single (possibly double though still undecided on this bit yet) Asgard beam weapon is as standard along with Asgard shields, beaming tech and both sub and hyperspace engines.

ATM it's simply labeled the Fast Attack Ship, or FAS for short, and will operate in pairs or in a Carrier battle group (once i get around to rejigging the two carrier ships i've got on here).

The FAS wil also have at least two missiles located in each drive pod, i'm considering doubling that number but i'll wait and see how they look before i decide yay or nay.
