Hello All,

Looking for feedback on this model I am working on for a class project. Learning how to work with patches. Later I will convert to Poly for tweeks.
Ive decided to build an Alien Cruiser, like what their car would look like.

C&C welcome and encouraged, Im looking to improve and your feedback helps, please and thank yous!

Also found on the link is a ref pic of the Character that I will be modeling in the near future, still needs some work, but pretty close to what the final product will look like.

Heres some progress that Ive made on my model, I started out by drawing in splines for references, basically the contours of the body of the ship, and then went in with patches and moved around the bezier corners, to get the desired effect. Im modeling one half frist and then just mirroring the other half, let me know what you think.
Thanks

sorry .Hammer-Stroke. :)

Ive got the basic shape that I wanted and have now moved it into Poly, here is what the shell of the cruiser looks like.

Ive created the wings and cockpit area while in patches but have detached them so that I can texture each piece separate, and then I will weld them back together again. More updates coming soon.

C&C welcome, please

qu2k - it's a class project, and he has to use patches - let him figure out his own styles and preferences... he needs (C)onstructive (C)riticism...

i happen to like the style... it has a nice cartoony/realistic quality... keep putting out the updates!

Hello,

Classes have been busy but I found some time to work on this model some more, I am currentlly working on the interior, which will include a seat, panel and control stick, Ive given the cruiser a reflective cover. I rendered the scene with a map that comes with max to show what the cover will look like.
Let me know what you all think thus far
C+C welcome
