S.S. Benedict XVI (3D Ship)

[TOS Purist]

Since there's no 3D forum here, I decided to make like my good buddy BolianAdmiral and start a thread here in the FanFilm section.

I, too, have been blessed to have found an "enterprising" (ahem...) individual willing to model my ship (you may have seen the set replica I built for it, and the 2D images I made) in 3D!! XFozzboute is extremely talented at this sort of thing, and has been working on different parts of the ship. So far, the nacelles have been the focus of the project:




Updates to follow!! And to XFozz, thanks SOOO much (again!!) for doing this!!

Looks good so far.

Thanks!! It's awesome that we're both getting our ships modelled in glorious 3D.

Looks great TOS Purist, What 3-D modeling program do you use? BTW have you seen this: http://www.joseralat.com/forum/showt...ht=screensaver

[XFozzboute]

I don't have much to show but I've got the round cutouts in the back of the engine started. The mesh errors were kept to a mininum and I was able to fix them with little problem.

Oh, I'm not making this model!! I would have no idea how to use any 3D modeling program; XFozzboute is the one doing the awesome model work.

Thanks for the link; that screensaver is awesome!!

XFozz, the cutouts look great - can't wait to see the rest!! Just out of curiosity, that's the port nacelle, right? It just occured to me...

I see, Great Job XFozzboute.

So far it's neither port or staboard. I ant to spend more time looking at your connection to the main hull and where the engine rotates. It looks a little flimsy to me at the moment.

orion24:I use 3D Studio max 6 to do this.

Very good job.

I've got some more done on the end cap.


What I really need to know before I continue is. What is the thing on the bottom of the warp engine?
