I've just recently started modelling in 3D. I decided to start with the Enterprise-B. I'm going to start with the bridge module first. The page linked below has my latest render. www.geocities.com/niytaan/entbwip.htmBTW, I'm using POV-Ray, and as this is my first time using it, updates may be slow as I learn.  |

I've added a more recent render to the page linked above. I smoothed the edges and modified the circular platform. The previous image is still there for comparison.

Thanks, although I have to redo the second platform tomorrow. It's the wrong shape and I just tried to reshape it but it came out horrible. Maybe some rest and fresh ideas will help.

Another update. I spent an hour perfecting the shape of the second platform. I darkened the platform, rendered it and added the image to the page.

Another update. The bridge is now there! I worked for a few hours this afternoon creating the bridge buldge and such stuff.
Hehe, I'm throwing out updates faster than you all can post! ;D

There's no way to turn POV-Ray models into other 3d formats because the coding for POV-Ray is too different than that of Max, LW and other such 3D software.  BTW, thanks! |

Fantastic job, Niytaan! I've just started to play around with Max 4. It takes someone who has tried their hand at modeling to truly appreciate what you've done.  |

Fantastic job, Niytaan! I've just started to play around with Max 4. It takes someone who has tried their hand at modeling to truly appreciate what you've done. *thinks of the very incomplete Ent-D saucer module buried in some dusty corner of her HD she started modeling many moons ago* Indeed.. Good work, Niytaan! Mentat, you happen to have been playing around with Max for long enough to be familiar with Boolean operations...? |

Thanks, all! I should have the basic shapes of the saucer done sometime in the next few hours. |

Mentat, you happen to have been playing around with Max for long enough to be familiar with Boolean operations...? LOL. No, sorry, Gnom. That stuff is beyond me. I just made a nice looking cube shape, though. I printed it out and stuck it on my refrigerator. ;D |

Ahem; can you tell how the heck one can make multiple holes into an object without crashing Max or/and the computer but without having to 'drill' them one at a time?
