Competition #13 - ColdRolled

after playing with a couple of concepts in between final projects for school, i've finally got an idea that i'm happy with. i just finished blocking it out the other day so it isn't detailed just yet. on the under belly there are going to be open bays for where the small fighter ships are meant to come out of. i was thinking of fish and battleships when i was working on it and my buddy kept pestering me about adding wings to it so here is what i came up with:









also in the third image up by the front of the ship there is some weird distortion going on that i'm not quite sure on how to fix. i've check for stray verts and whatnot, but was unable to find anything. any ideas?

About your smoothing errors you mentioned, it is just that....a smoothing error. If you put smoothing groups on those faces they should disappear. Another thing would be to select that face and hit make planar, and that will take it away too. What is causing it is the face isn't flat.

For what you have here so far, would be cool if you went with the fish idea some more except went for a more organic feel. I'll be honest, what you have thus far isn't super unique. Working with the fish idea could get you coming up with some really cool concepts though.

There are some scale issues I'm seeing too. The front window gives me the impression that 2-3 people would stand in there comfortably, while the guns on the side give the impression that it is a pretty massive ship. I'd recommend spending some time making sure it reads as a massive ship, as it seems you want it to be.

Good luck dude
