Celestial Class Station

[Lord_Trekie]

I am trying to do a smaller version of the Celestial Class Starbase, while Draconis_Sharp is doing the actual Celestial. Does anyone have any pics saved somewhere from StarTrekAustrailia?

Here is the Angelic Class Heavy Defense Outpost so far.


Can anyone tell me how to do the docking ring in MS3D?

Heres the celestial station:

Hope that's the one your talking about?

Yeah that looks more or less correct, I'll send this to Draconis_Sharp, I never knew so much was below that outer ring though.

Start off with a cylinder (something like a 6x24 or better. scale inword the top and bottom stack by stack. Then then last stack, merge the 2 (CTRL+SHIFT+Y). Select the central faces, and delet them. There you have a ring.

I'll PM you one.

Thanks, I don't think I would have ever figured that out.

I have always been curious about that myself.

 

[Sqweloookle]

Trekie, do you know how Draconis_Sharp is getting on with this starbase?

much better tool in 3dsmax, a lathed line.

 

[Syf]

Indeed, Max has a lot more tools, but also costs a lot more...:x

I have myself, Lightwave in my tools, but that would not help someone with MS3D only.

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Sorry DL. I've heard nigh a peep out of DS for months.

There is a plugin I now have for ms3d that lets you lathe things. And up until 3 weeks ago I actually had Max 8 and LW 9. All I used either for was renders though. I'm lost when it actually comes to using either for modeling.

 

[Sqweloookle]

Maybe you can buzz him?

 

[Lord_Trekie]

I'll see what I can do in that regard. I know he started the model, probably even finished it, but I think he was going to do the textures too and might not have gotten around to it. I'll try to ask as soon as I get the net back at my home as the only way I have to actually contact him is through X-Fire.
