*chews on a pencil while waitin fer a new pic*

Chris B · May 2nd, 2003, 05:06 PM

i've added the main hangar-doors and rounded off the surface of the major-saucer.
not really worth a new pic just yet

the first pic you showed of this think almost looked like a picture of an unpainted resin model. It's good to see some neat bases. Although, that first pic you showed would make a nice finished base design just by itself.

Chris B · May 7th, 2003, 08:05 AM

i completely agree, starforce, but i didn't design it. blame feanor

Hey Chris, nice to see you not loose your hand

Do you think there is anought place in the base for my little model collection ??

Enough of the chatter and update it already!

Chris B · May 7th, 2003, 02:27 PM

hey there, master claude! nice to see you back in action, too!
according to the stats she is 8kms large, that should be quite some space, i guess

sean, my friend, i have to hand in a portfolio at university next week - i worked on that

you'll get something as soon as can work on her

May 8th, 2003, 06:01 PM

*chews on various pencils and markers* man I cant wait for the next update

May 8th, 2003, 06:08 PM

If I can wait on George RR Martin to get the 4th book out, I can wait for this masterpiece as well

Take your time man... I'll happily wait

Chris B · May 9th, 2003, 03:27 AM

the update will not reveal much new, considering the modelling is almost done.

it only needs some additional plating.
then the texturing begins and as everybody knows i am not good at that.
but we'll see

You'r not good ??? In witch bad dream is that ???

Chris B · May 9th, 2003, 04:30 AM

i`m fairly good at modelling dead objects like pencils for feanor to chew on but i am a big sucker at texturing.

well, i gotta learn how to texture a spacestation and what better way is there to learn on one`s own model

besides, how difficult can it be to slap a map on cylinders...

Chris ... open ICQ ... i opened my own too ( 2 year's without icq before that :p )

C.

Chris B · May 9th, 2003, 06:12 AM

i don`t have icq anymore, found it too difficult to answer 100 ppl at a time

if you have msn i will gladly add you, of course

Chris B · May 10th, 2003, 09:58 AM

okay, everyone. got a lil pic for you...

i have added a first row of windows to one of the lower sections. the windows are squares turned around by 45° and have 8 vertices each.

they are aproximately one by one meter in size - average for a window, if not bigger than that.

what ou will see is that you will not see

but have a looksee yourself:

Hito · May 10th, 2003, 10:56 AM

Wow.
that thing is huge...

By the look of it the windows are soo small compared to the rest of the station that it wouldnt matter too much if they were meshed or textured unless you were right up on it.

May 10th, 2003, 12:56 PM

My GAWD!

I never really got an idea of how big she was...

Now I really get it.

Wow.

Chris B · May 10th, 2003, 04:25 PM

8000m is not just a catjump, you see....

and imagine that there were stations up to 15.000m! if you can see the windows of these they must be 20 meters in size.

pretty unrealistic i should think...

Wouldn't you have the same problem with MSN?

Anywho, yay to windows! Especially modeled ones!

May 11th, 2003, 02:53 AM

Yesss verrryyyy big ;D

Chris B · May 11th, 2003, 05:32 AM

it is rather pointless to model something that yo can't see. specially when - like in this case - the amount of faces is increased by the factor 300!

my msn is only for very prominent persons, it is strictly limited to my friends.

there are twelve entries, three of which are liza's various accounts. everyone else will have to contact me via pm or email. but that doesn't happen often cause i'm fairly uninteresting

May 11th, 2003, 03:33 PM

But the windows are there and you can get close to them if you want to, that's all that matters.

And you can't be that uninteresting if you had hundreds of messages at a time.

Chris B · May 11th, 2003, 11:40 PM

perhaps i was more interesting

what good will windows do that nobody can see, i wonder.

when a tree falls over in a forest far away from an ear to hear, does it make a sound?

May 12th, 2003, 01:25 PM

Sure it does. The squirrel that got squasheed heard it :P

May 18th, 2003, 08:15 AM

So...any updates?

Chris B · May 18th, 2003, 09:04 AM

none yet, i`m sorry.

i had a mean headache over the last days and spent all of yesterday with working on a tutorial that i meant to convert earlier.

i`ll do something as soon as i possibly can :S

June 5th, 2003, 11:55 PM

Any updates?

Chris B · June 6th, 2003, 01:00 AM

since i was rejected at uni i didn't do much at all. this model however shalt not jave the same fate as the three earlier attempts.

moovok · June 9th, 2003, 04:55 PM

WOW! I think you've got a model and just taking camera shots, that's what it looks like. Very detailed though, you are indeed the detailer, in my opinion.
