Looks fantastic. I dunno how familiar you are with Lightwave, but if you want any help cleaning up the mesh, let me know. Imports can be ugly at the best of times, and Auto CAD doesn't produce the cleanest of meshes in my experience  |

Nice conversion Westy.
One little piece of advice to make the model really stand out. It requires alot of work but, and don't take this wrong, it looks flat to me. What i'm getting at is alot of the details have no bevels to them. If you put beveled edges on the pieces the ship will look more realistic.
Right now alot of the casted lighting is bouncing right off the ship since there's no edges to catch the light.
Otherwise nice work.

tedious too!
I hear you though. Unfortunately I didn't discover the realism it adds until fairly recently. All new work I do has edges beveled or fileted, but the stuff I already did does not. So what I've been doing is when I do some new work on an area, I then go ahead and make a beveling and fileting pass on anything close by. Eventually it'll all get done.
Thanks Titon!

Here's something for ya Westy. As some will say i'm realy sloooooooooooooooooooooooow but eventually i'll get there. Maybe in the next 10 years.
You can see some of the beveled edges on the pieces that will make it catch the light better.

Nice, radiosity helps too I like the look of filets, but beveling adds less polys for almost as good a look.

Now that's sweet . . . .!
Awesome details . . . I love the micro details on the center pipe and the surrounding bits . . . . I also like the way you modeled the joining pieces on the center tube and the two flanking sections with the red stripes.
A lot of people leave stuff like that out, They forget to add that detail in.
nice going,
gp
