Let's Try Again

This post will be commenting on what I have changed with my model and will be referring back to the previous post. I will also be showing the changes via screenshots.

Firstly I am going to be showing the changes to the navigation room. I believe that this was the most important part of the ship to change, because I was not happy with my first attempt and needed to change it quickly to something that I was more happier with. So I decided to completely scrap the first attempt and try again, I didn't end up changing it too much but I did make some small adjustments which I think are noticeable and are much better than the original.

This is the redesigned navigation room, I decided to change the shape by making it smaller and not hang over the guns, I did want to make it more round but couldn't find an easy way of doing it and I was running out of time, focusing on one thing and not anything else.

Next I needed to add an engine room, as this was also quite an important part of the ship that was originally  included and needed to be as it is a fundamental part of the ship. In order to incorporate this into the model, I needed more room which meant I had to remove one of the weapons on the ship, which was simple enough, once I had removed the weapon I needed to model in the engine which was quite straight forward. I beveled out some of the polygons and put in some basic tube shapes.

This is the engine that I incorporated into my model. I am pleased with how it turned out, and also it will give me a chance to test out my new technique I am learning, and see if I can achieve realistic smoke.

My last adjustment to the model was to add a satellite tower, which tend to be on every ship that I looked at to get inspiration from for my model, so it had to be included. I don't think the design is very technical however I am pleased with how it has turned out especially for my first attempt. It was just a simple extrude on the polygons and then added a sphere and squashed it to make a satellite type shape.

And the end result is this, as I said it is not too technical however I think it fits nicely in with the model and is a key part of the ship that needed to be added.

Overall I think with the changes that I have made, they were needed to be put in the model, and am very pleased with how they have turned out even if they have not got much detail to them. However I am hoping that when I come to add the materials it will give the model the detail that it needs.
