i just got an copy of 3ds max 8 and this is what i have made.
if you have some sugestions please tell (but if it is not very basic, please explain how)

assainator

(this doesn't have an angry meening) i tought you knew that in milkshape you have: wireframe, flat shaded, smooth shaded and textured. this is viewed on flat shaded. (and yes it doesn't look very good if viewed in flat shaded) if viewed in smooth shaded the only inregular thing can you see is a line...

okay, because i never knew how to take screenshots in a game if there was no photo button i could see.

assainator

well, you are problemly aren't going to belief it, but it current poly-count is 2253. and i have added some extra detail already.

and by the way: you might find that the aft of the scaucer is a little rouge but when viewed in smooth mode, it is very, very smooth.

assainator

how do you take screenshots in the game?

it's just the model, no lightmapping or anything.

and yes they are al little thin (naccelles) but my tought was to make a very thin ship.

but i'll try to smooth the aft a little up.

assainator

heey,

it took me about 26 hours to make.



and this one:



i want you to guess the polycount. I will tell you later but first: guesssssss.
