On second look, the secondary hull needs extending too.

Here are some meshes, which i found in the net! Looks not to bad, but many overlappin parts!!!

**Sidewinder81777** · #13 06-23-2009, 07:49 PM

well how does one go about cleaning up such a mesh? (I sense an educational 3d learning project coming on :D)

its easy! fixen the textures afterward...that the tricky bit.

I have absolutely no experience with 3d programs but since I dropped the money on meta I certainly need to learn (apologies to Paragon for semi-hijacking your thread lol)

The magic words are: Boolean operation!!! If you do this, you can clean the meshes! BUT: you lost the UV-Texture!!!!!
there is one way to get the right parts: you copy the wrong part, do the boolean ops with the copy and unfold both parts (the wrong and the new right part)!
after that go to Photoshop and you can copy the texture from the wrong to the right parts! erase what is to much and you got the result!
You can see it here at my rework on Clevers ENT-B! on the left side you can see the right parts, but the most textur is lost! on the right side you can see the wrong parts with the UV-texture! second pic is the result!

So DWhale, you've made three other Wolf 359 ships, interested in adding another three?

Great find Paragon, thanks!

at the moment not really! because we have so many Federation ships, but only a few alien ships! But my favorit of the 3 ships is the Challenger class!

Really? I always thought the Challenger was kind of ugly...
