Sounds like something good.  I can get the planet mesh I have if you need.

Interesting design. It's a cross between a Kol and an egg beater.

Just playing with you. It's definitely unique, so I like that. I assume the long shafts on one side are very well rifled cannons?

And the new Shufune is nice. I really liked the older one, but this one has the asiatic sails, which speaks to its cultural origin, and the body gives me a steampunk feel, which I've seen in so many animes that it's not even funny. Maybe part of that is because without the skin it has that polished metal look, but you get my point still. Good job.

some of the older models for the mass effect mod are now part of Cerberus faction. Still a work in progress, but the oranges and blacks look cool.

The human refinery ship for a mod that I am trying to work on. Only 248 polys, I plan to make up for the low poly count with detailed textures.

The human Long range/Heavy cruiser (I haven't decided yet, though it may end up filling both roles) 460 polys.

The cruiser from the other side:

I know that the command bridge needs a little more texture work, I wasn't exactly sure what to do with the hull. The front and detail textures could use some touching up as well...

Very nice! However, I like to say... I don't see those ships fit the Cerberus design philosophy very well. For example: Elbrus

More sleek, sophisticated, stylish, and clean (look at the interior and exterior of Cerberus facilities (Aite outposts (site of Project Overlord)), SR-2, etc.) 

More examples:

Cronos Station

Lazarus Research Station

Minuteman Station

No offense, Your work is good, but I wish you would reconsider. I am not forcing, just making a suggestion.

@Tollen Kell We have all those models too. These are based off various concept art by mass effect btw. Also, bear in mind sins has appx 20 ships per race to fill and appx 13+ modules per faction. The actual amount of released ships for ME would not even come close to filling those slots. So in dawn of the reapers these are Cerberus ships that will be used so no need to reconsider.

Thanks for the complements though and I think it will grow on you in the end.

Correct a mundo No way I could create all the models done by Lord_Set... I've sorta stopped modelling except for uv-mapping and rigging in XSI at this point.

Texturing is by far one of the hardest things I've ever taught myself of which my work is still very simple compared to those that can texture well (i.e. have a real background in digital art). I'm really just a coder so this is stepping out of my comfort realm.

It's a book... something like the Art of Mass Effect.

Glad you did. You know we love seeing your work, whatever it may be for. I love the small sections that have a great density of detail. Not because I like tons of detail overall, but because it tells you those are sections of importance, where if you needed to put a torpedo in only one spot, those would be the spots to go for.

Beautiful as usual.

Zombie, nice texturing job. I could see where you would like to get more resolution and enhance the textures, but it's quite good, especially when done for something the scale of Sins.

FredLed, I'm not normally a fan of something so low poly, but I like the base design and very much like the texturing. In the case of Sins, it would be supremely beneficial to have something so low poly so that memory can be put toward actual gameplay, such as expanding tech trees and enhanced HUD design. I definitely see a place for it.

Yeah finding the balance between poly count and detail level is crucial. As you said, you can make up for low poly's with enhanced textures....to an extent, adding even little flare on some pieces, chamfered edges, random blockets, antennae, etc. Go a long way in giving the model more "life" without absolutely crushing your low poly count.  Avoid making lots of rounded edges and you can keep poly counts fairly low while still having lots of detail.

You probably know this already but, Also keep in mind what ship you are making the model, if its for a frigate you would want much less polys (compared to capitals) because you spam the crap out of those in game.

Here's another Cerberus model I uv-mapped and textured today.

The progenitors were the inspiration behind the red stripe, but that's it. (I was waiting to see how long it would take for someone to ask that, lol)
