Looking good Westy! You've come far on the detailing.

Kind of...I didn't actually think ahead and intend to do this, but my hard drive is littered with them.

AutoCAD  ...not ur typical modeling program, I actually started this project by using 3dStudio, but the model quickly became both too big and too complex so I started it over in AutoCAD...It's got a great a great ACIS solid modeler. I don't have to worry about polygons, and AutoCAD is pretty optimized for huge complex projects. Occasionally I export it into MAX and that's when I pretty much get to pick how many polygons I want it to have. The still pictures I posted here I rendered in AutoCAD...it's not the best renderer, but combined with a bit of Photoshop touching up, and I guess it looks ok for now. Hope this answers your question Titon.

If you don't mind, I'd like to see the beginning (or as close as possible) shot to compare with where you're at now.

Ok, I might even have a very early version of the actual model still. I'll look around for it and see what I have. If not, I'll post some old pics and make some new pics matching as close as I can the angles and whatnot.

WOW, this is really cool. I love those close-ups, that is some pretty awesome detail work. What do you still have left to do? are you going to make another pass over the hull and add more detail to it?

A couple more new ones (Sandy, I'll do those before and after pics as soon as I replace and update the ones on mortalstorm.com with newer stuff).

It depends on how much detail you want. AutoCAD is a bit different from say Lightwave or 3D Studio in that in those programs, objects are represented by a mesh of polygons but in AutoCAD objects are described by parameters only. If you want every little teeny detail I modeled, then I there are currently about 3.6 million polys when translated from AutoCAD to 3D Studio. That number can be adjusted to any value you want depending on the LOD you want simply by adjusting a few simple textbox values in 3D Studio's import dialog.

It's 40 megs though, so I'd save it to your computer first...

Westy.......great surprise to wake up tos ee you'd done this !
I really like what you've made here....especially the shot of all the battlestars together.....
Unfortunately, my playback is slightly jerky....slight stop/starts of a fraction of a second, and they are different with each playback......
I hope you will take animating your model further.....this was great to see....it would be fantastic to see this shot lead into seeing her in action.....

Wow, very impressive the model is coming along nicely. Really enjoyed the Saga opening as a first animation for this model.

Stupid codecs! I'll play around with other ones and see what I can figure out. I'll post a note here if I can fix that problem. Also, I noticed I screwed up something in the first part. I'll fix that and repost it soon.

Westy....I'm pleased your continueing to work on this, perhaps it will also help with the jerkiness I experienced....
I hope you will develop this into a fanfilm ? Have you made any other ships in AutoCAD ? I like the unique look you've given this model, I really do......
Looking forwards to the repost.......
