basically, I've just started 3D modeling using blender, and this is the best model I've come up with so far. It obviously has a long way to go before it's up to standard but i would appreciate some feedback.

The ship is a mothership, with a hangar at the front, and some biomes (bumps on the top). I haven't done the engines yet, and obviously I'll add more detail as required :)

interesting, looks like a carrier type ship... also kinda looks like it was taken from Homeworld though.

I think they both look good. The first one needs some turrets on it and the second hasn't got enough detail yet for me to say what I think it needs but I think the shape looks nice. Keep up the good work.

any suggestions for the detailing on the second one? That indented paneling I've done is uninspiring at best.

Spread the word medal - level 2

Pipes, panels, vents and solar panels are good details to add. I like the shape of these ships.

Odd question tacked on the back of a thread about motherships:

http://www.minerwars.com/PicZoom.aspx?id=69

Anyone else think the mothership depicted in the above link at the angle it's seen at looks like the lifepod from the Nostromo?

I think it's a bit more common than just that. Having rotating ships is one way to simulate gravity and a none roundish rotating ship isn't a very common occurance in my experience with the genre.

I had kinda given up on that one but thanks for the feedback :)

(and real spaceships that were meant to carry passengers would almost undoubtedly be round, probably just cylinders, but those look a little boring :) )

I actually quite like ship3image12 as a sort of passenger transport craft. It really seems to fit. Maybe it's having the Captain's deck and the General Party decks far away from each other, but it really seems to work.

Ok, here's another one...

It's loosely inspired by seagoing compressed liquids/gas tankers, and has a little more detail than the others, but is still a bit plain.

Ok, i know everyone must be getting bored with my inability to stick to one idea and my over eagerness to post the results but bear with me... this is a sort of redo of my first ship, with ideas from all the others I've done... and i promise I'll stick with it this time... :)
