@mark: thanks for the sketch it will make the modelling a bit easier hehe :).
@monday: hehe that is one long story to tell can write you a whole book about it if you want, I’ll pm you my msn adresse and I’ll tell you. btw I’m working with 3ds max 6 student version
got it back to work today had some problems had to format the harddrive :s
greets
@enigmaz, hey long time no see, if you want to invite me that would be great
mondaylumino@hotmail.com. nice little marketing trick they have there, makes you -want- a Gmail account…thank you, i will be one of the few, the proud, the gmail account holders
@jozef, wow, does it involve a monkey and a group of international criminals? sorry,(that would be cool though-when we make the ‘making of AEGIS:2375’ documentary we can have you tell the story-if there aren’t international criminals or atleast a monkey, you’ll have to work in a car chase or something)
seriously though, i run a lot of applications, and once in a while i scrub my harddrives, and it keeps the performance speed and stability at it’s best…
@victor, don’t worry, the main rim of the crater will look alot different on the final. what do you think of VUE5 for doing landscapes, does it work nicely with 3DS max? i seem to be the planet/landscape person, so i was thinking about picking that up. i could make that planet you created with the huge column things look pretty good(i think) i haven’t played around too much with the trial version yet…wondering if anyone else had some experience…
Hi to all. I don’t know if it is the right place to post my wip but if it isn’t just let me know hehe.
after a couple of days work here is the first wip of the hull buster. I didn’t put the torpedos in it yet still working on it. I think I restarted the wip 3 to 4 times just to get a better look (kinda new to spaceship modelling) so just let the comments and critics come so I can make the ship look the best as possible
anyways here is the pic and a special thanks to mark for the concept hehe made the modelling way easier
greets
:applause: Great work, Here is a drawover of the top section. No other crits…cool stuff 
Looking good Jozef!
As for critique. I would make the wings a bit shorter and the total model longer. Give the nose more length so you get the idea there is a big roaring engine under there 
thanks for the drawover mark helped me because I didn’t really knew what it looked like hehe
I made the ship longer hope it looks better know, added the last view details like the torpedos and stuff
here is the pic
I suppose it is ok to post them wips here
greets
it’s looking good! are you going to bevel the edges of the wings? the rest of the edges are beveled, but those aren’t, kinda makes them look slightly different?
but overall that’s great work!
Hiya,
Model is coming along nicely Caveman
Here is a few image concepts Victor…tell me what ya think
great concepts
…but…
shouldn’t something be exploding in there somewhere? :twisted:
Hi guys!
Jozef, the progress is nice. Make sure that the ship will be about 3 times as long as it is wide in the end version. It should look like a fast hunter, but with a low manouvrability. a long and thin shape helps creating this image. Can you place the bullnose behind it, so we can see if the two will fit together? I am wondering how the shapes will merge together.
Mark, yeah, i like it. Lets make it two pages. And some kind of big finale image on the right page, crossing over on the left one a bit.
nice concepts as always hehe
beveled up the wings a bit and made a side view I think it should be large enough now don’t you think? for the bullnose I was wondering how to put it in. wat part should stick out stuff like that. If somebody could give me a hand on that
here is the pic from the side
greets
Ahhh, yes, the length is good now!
Mark, could you figure out a cool way to lock the bullnose into the hunter?
I can’t work on Aegis this week, because i am at my girlfriends house. So i am using my laptop and i don’t have any usable software here…Hmmm…maybe i should start writing vertices in notepad. :twisted:
Anyway, Jozef, maybe you can experiment with the top wings a little bit. Something about it is buging me, but i can’t put my finger on it. Somehow it is not integrating well yet with the shape…Maybe put it on a slight angle upwards or downwards? That will probably work a bit better.
The length is good now.
Don’t think it is going to be the only nose to bleed hehe it going to be one bloody mess in the end 
bended the wings, added the last detail waiting for some ideas to put the bullnose into it if there is anything else to model on this just let me know if it is good I’ll leave it this way and will be waiting for my next model :).
If things arent right at all just let me know I still have different versions of it so going back shouldn’t be a problem
here is the pic, front and side pic this time

Greetings to our new members.
Dogmad,Element5 , monday i greet you!
I was ubsent due to some work obligations.
I am still in here , and i am quite active.
I got some !_)@$!($!@ happy news!!!
OUR SITE IS UP AND RUNNING!
The reason for the suspended message was that my lame-ass provider ( Network Evolution ) has a lame-robot that detected the word “official movie site” and the EVEN more lame-ass admin thought that we were operating an illegal-movie site!?!?!. Anyways we are back online now to stay 4ever.
As usual, should anyone need FTP space and such PM or email me.
For the new members our official movie forum is : http://aegis.maxfx.gr/
Wicked Caravan : I have attached a small crit on your excellent work!
A . Smoothen this area so , you dont get krunky polygons
B . Add more detail to this location
C . Smooth has been used at an extremely high amount making it like fluid instead of metal.
D . Make it look more separate than the right wind. Make it look like its attached , not embeded.
E . There is some modelling anomally there ? or is this lighting / angle illusion?
Very nice work ,welcome aboard!
thanks maxFX I’m glad you like it :). I changed the things you indicated but found a few other ones I’ll have to fix but I wanted to post the progress anyway. Spent the day building the Bullnose into it thanks to DogmaD otherwise it would have been a problem hehe. We tried different things and came up with this.
I’ll fix the rest of the problems later today or tomorrow
sorry pics are getting bigger and bigger :s:s
greets
@jozef, sweet…
here’s the next version of the planet, i will start the texturing now to see what i can get it to look like…
@ Monday, Even sweeter nice job hehe
did some platework today with help of victor once more. Had to rebuild the whole hullbuster because of to much polys hehe reduced polycount by 10 I think.
rebuilded and plated:
