Greetings!! how're everyone doing?

Well...I've tried to make spaceships some years ago but all of them were bad modeled. So, taking a look at the "my first spaceship model" (or something like that) post, it gived me some inspiration and here's my first & good spaceship model.

It was made in 3D Studio MAX R3, the texture in Paint Shop Pro 6.01 and it was made (with texture and all) in 3:30 hours. I'm planning to put it FOR FREE in TurboSquid. It's the first model I upload on TurboSquid, so if it request money (for hosting or things like that) then perhaps it won't be there and I'll have to put it in a free webspace I have.

The model is of 340 polys, the texture is simple but a bit decorative on some parts. I think it can be used like a scout spaceship or something like that.

If you want to use it in your projects then please include my name in your credits (DARKGuy

)

Well...here are 2 screenies at 640x480. I've seen that some people can't see the pictures in the forum so the screenies are in these links:

That is good for a first 3D model. The concept and shape is very good, could use a better metal texture, but it is overall good for a person new to modeling.

Just keep practicing and you will get better and better.

That's a nice little model. With a more detailed texture it'll look really wicked. For some reason the texture you have on there reminds me of commodore 64 logo for some odd reason. My brain is retarded though.

@bolt: thanks bolt!!!!!

yeah...I'm really really bad at texturing but at least it looks good

@Taperwormz: hehe thanks

Thanks for the tip!

Now i'm finishing a low-poly Bell-206 helicopter. The geometry is nearly finished...gotta start texturing it
