Exclamation nuBSG Ships

I have just finished some new pictures and they are not Truespace but Lightwave which I recently got. and have just started to under stand some of its propertys.
Thanks Warrior for your help
I need to get the LW meshes for future work.. I have one of Stevews LW meshes which is coool work on by Fabio and another I forget the name at the minute..

The meshes in this pic are mentioned and unless i am mistaken our own Warrior had a part to play in this model
This is one of my first pictures so it not great

Check your model, the details on the front are missing, also the ribs.

Taranis, Titon did part of the model for Zoic. Zoic's model maxed the number of polys you can have in lightwave if I remember right (of course not all show at every angle).

Looks like a good first try with such a complex program.

Thanks Jewels I read that it was a beast or a model and they only use it in parts depending on the scene needed

The Model itself had to be reduced in order to render. Initially it came in well over 4 million poly's.

Actually it looks better without the ribs!

LOL

Taranis you might have lost your Lightwave config files somehow. They reside in your documents folder.

You could manually reload all the plugins through the layout interface or remove lightwave, delete your current config files which are located in the documents folder, then reinstall the app.

That should reinstall all the plugins.



Let me know if you need anymore help.

The landing bay and shuttle i built in lightwave. The shuttle was sold to Zoic for the new series. It was in the 4 hour mini series.

The landing bay i built was about 3 years ago. Needs alot of refinement.



Presently neither are available. Maybe someday.
