' Wrote:First link is broken.

As for the model, which program are you using? Because the ship looks horrible in those view ports. It's not the quality of the model, it's the quality of the lines that makes it look bad.

seems to be google sketch up. a very simple program, you can build stuff in it fast, but not one i'd personally use to build any 3d models in.

' Wrote:Carrier? Or the President's personal flagship? It looks too flashy. Liberty builds their ships for purpose, not looks. It's just too extravagant.

if you read, this model is meant to be a unique base, not flown by any player. so taking that into consideration, im pretty sure a bit of flashiness isn't a bad thing.

---------

I'm looking forward to see how you balance the model, keeping the asymmetrical shape. since this is going to be a unique base model instead of a player flown model, i reccomend looking at some fl bases. if you see closely, you'll see how the window sections are done. basically, certain sections have are created by inset + extrude tool to create a sort of "gap" between the window area and hull, while in other places, there are heavily inset'd and extruded areas giving a smooth rise out from the model, similar to a slope.

you could implement that all over the model. also, in terms of size of the model, if you implement alot of windows, you can justify this model to be slightly bigger than most models we have in fl (say, about the same size/slightly bigger than a barge? its a base, it aint going nowhere).

you could try to build the bridge in layers, that will give mass to the model and help with the general look. at the moment, where the "chrysler building" bit is, it just seems to abruptly rise from the model, which strikes me as rather weird, tbh.

another very obvious thing would be to include a rather large and prominent liberty symbol, to add more detail, and perhaps for a model like this, custom turrets + placements may be in order? perhaps 3 large siege style triple barrelled turrets, while there are smaller (standard turret mounts) for the current turrets that disco has for now?
