Well, after two days, I finally got the basestar finalized. It took me almost two restarts to do it. I tried upping the polygon count on the basestar to make it look more like the real thing, but it was just too much for iClone 3.2 PRO, so I had to go back to texture mapping. However, this time around, the ship still looks MUCH better than my first attempt.
So, to show off my Cylon Raider and my new basestar, here's a little animation. The harsh lighting in space kinda helps the effect.
