The Romulan Wars

Thank you both.
UPDATE...
Got more work done. Just need to break up some of the large blank panels with a few extra bits and I can move on to textures.

UPDATE...
Started work on the textures. I chose the warp pylon because I thought it would be quick and easy it wasn’t. Took two whole days. This is basically just the base color. I add a little color swatch to see the actual color used.

The back and bottom of the pylon needs a little work is everything is backwards but that shout be easy to fix.

I really like how this worked out. The specularity is working just like I hoped. I’ll keep adding more color detail as I move along. I’ll probably do this for the entire ship before I start doing all the panel work.

Liking how this ship is shaping up. The saucer underside and the pylons in particular look like a plausible evolution of the NX class, perfect for the period.

 

[XFozzboute]

Thanks.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
I got more work done on the warp pylon. It’s looking pretty good now.

I also got most of the warp engine done.

 

[Atolm]

So brilliant!

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
Finished the warp engine for now. Got the RCS thrusters done.

I also did the four things around the bussard collector.

 

[Atolm]

That's a cool take on those RCS Thrusters. Most excellent! When I envision mine, I usually do the inverse of what you did like this (Don't mean to post an image in your thread, just easier for me to show you what I mean):

 

[XFozzboute]

The RCS thrusters are basically the same ones used on the NX-01 Enterprise.
UPDATE...
Got some work done on the aft photon torpedo launcher.

Very nice! Well done!

Thank you.

 

[Atolm]

Excellent!

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
Got the fantail done and hell it was easier than the torp launcher. I’ll probably add a little more to it.

I also started on the Nav Deflector housing.

[Atolm]

Damn fine work bro!

 

[XFozzboute]

Thank you very much.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
More stuff added to the textures. I’ll have to do higher rez versions when I’m done because I’m getting some artifacts I don’t like.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
Finally started up the textures for the lower saucer.

Are you going to do a similar aztecking scheme as the NX? The mesh is superb, and the proper skin on it will just seal the deal.

Always loved your gold/purple lighting on these models. A very cool and unique choice compared to all the other ones I've seen.

 

[XFozzboute]

I'm gonna try to replicate as much of the aztecking as I can but also simplify it because it's damn complicated looking.
As for the choice of lighting, I just like to use color that contrast each other. One warm light and one cool light.

UPDATE...
The textures of this ship will be the death of me.This already the most complex texture I’ve done and I’ve hardly scratched the surface of it. I’m gonna make those circles a little more subtle. I think I’ll take a few days off.
