The Life Support Base
Hi all,
Just starting on the life support base and thought i'd get some comments on what you all thought it should look like.
So far i've made a very basic double stacked cyclinder with a dissected ring. Do you think curvy is the way to go, or is more angular better?
EDIT: The models on the left are my mock-ups, the models on the right are the original model.

Ah, I see now, thank you Ajare
I think the angular model would look better, unless you redesign the complete apparatus. To me it seems like the entire machine has been designed with the angular model as base.
I do agree that the new/round one is much prettier, but I doubt it would look as 'realistic' in the context as the original.

Nice suggestion!SnipaMasta wrote:The centre part should be smooth, but the ring looks best 6 sides to be honest. Just round it off at the top (so it looks smooth, not jaggedy like the original).
Like this (but with more polygons):
Actually btw - are you a modeller? And if so why the * havent you applied to join us? I hope you have a good excuse
