Hi all. These last few weeks have been a bit of a mess for me in terms of shifts (I am a Ground Crew dude at an airport), so I haven't been able to do some UV on the tug yet. Next week will be much better, so I'll try to get something rolling... One question btw, I have applied the mirror modifier i...

Ok, all fixed.
New collision mesh, layer 5, tight as can be! :-)

Starting with the UV, but will have to look into your presentation again!
Any other good UV tutorials I should watch?

Also, given that the ship is only about 10K tri's, does it make sense to create a low LOD model?

Thanks!

Hi again. Couldn't be as fast as I wanted for a reply, but here it is, finally. - Redid the weapon so it now is mounted on the nose, just a simple laser cannon. - Access panels now have some padding as per suggestion. - Added two more RCS at the bottom. - Added the "thruster" and "thr...

Hi again! Thanks for your support nozmajner! Can't stop now, it's like an addiction! So here is what I've done for this version: http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j39/pbar14691/HTug23Front_zpspxkvbk1g.png - EVA door is now recessed. - Moved "harpoon"/cargo scoop doors to the bottom of the ...

Hi nozmajner. Again, thanks for that. This is what I've updated and why: - Engine nozzles update to match Lunar Shuttle. Indeed they even look better! - Hole around the retro thruster. I forgot to update that one when I angled the front of the nacelle, that's why it look so weird. Done. - Door frame...

Hi again. Here are the most recent changes: - Nacelles are a bit bigger, and shape has changed at the front - RCS placed, they should keep the axis correct now. - Triangular windshield removed - Rear porthole removed - Landing gear smoothed - Dual comms and sensors elements added - Headlights added ...

I know, but in order for the design to make sense, i cannot place them there.

Wow, I'm slow with response. :) Yeah, the nacelled one looks better in my opinion. Maybe you could play with the nacelle shape a bit, like make it less tall on the front. I agree, the nacelles are still work in progress, so anything goes! The RCS placement looks good to me, but I'd also put some on...

Hi all. Made some modifications to the design, as per suggestions: - Engines. Bigger, and detached from the main hull. Can now swivel a full 180 - Docking Collar. Moved to the top so it doesn't interfere with the engines. Connects to the cargo bay. - Reverse thrusters. Moved to the main engines stru...

Hi nozmajner. First of all, BIG THANKS for having a look and sharing such good comments!! I have to tell you that this is great, because as soon as I posted the topic and reviewed it, I immediately started nitpicking on it myself, on the sames issues that you've nitpicked in your post! That's great ...
