Like the classic look of the main ship.
The cut lines on the blaster are great.
Could maybe revisit the main ship to have some smaller areas with that same kind of detailing to make it more cohesive?
Looking forward to seeing the final render :)Reply

Thanks for your opinions really appreciate the feedback. I am planning on redoing the ship from scratch I really want something more similar to the blaster. I will hopefully be updating progress as I go when time permits. Again thanks for the feedback.Reply

Hi 3DFANATIC.
Very nice model ! I like it. I'm curious to see some render.
If I can give you a little suggestion, please check this picture :

It seems that in some area the model is too coarse. It lacks some filletting and/or smooth transition among its different body parts.
Have a nice day.
Ciao!

Finally got some time to work a bit more on this opinions welcome. Anyway here is an update going to start to texture this thing might make some small tweaks during the process. Really liking this program and its power a bit of challenge learning this compared to the subd method, but more powerful specially when you don't have to deform an object. Take care

Hi 3DFANATIC.
I see that you did some refinements on many areas!
Well done. Now it's very nice!
But, all depends on what kind of camera framing you want to use.
For example, if you have a shot where these things are very close to the camera, I think you should add some fillets or other type of refinement to the these red areas :

But, I repeat, all depends on what kind of camera framing you want to use.
Thanks for sharing.
Ciao!

Thanks Marco I will see how I plan to use this and if I am going to be close up or not to make those decisions. Yes adding that details is always very nice in looks but gets very expensive in added polys and increasing render times. But like you said if this is going to be in the frame and close up it is worth adding in that detail. Thanks for the detailed feedback appreciate another opinion other than my own. Have a great nightReply
