furminat2024-08-19 18:42:02 UTCInsanely detailed, and yet a very "clean" mesh. The .OBJ version imported into PoserPro 2014 without any issue and no groups of polygons (at least not a collection large enough to readily see) had that funky, inverted darkened appearance of corrupted "n-gons". I've seen comparably complex meshes sold for a hundred dollars or more and this one goes for a paltry 15 clams, list. While on sale, I got it for less than 10, wow! The maker has stated Galactica is their favorite pop sci-fi property, but I would love to see them attempt the "Lightship Altares" from a lesser known Gerry Anderson production, "The Day After Tomorrow, Into Infinity", a quasi educational special intended as a "backdoor" pilot for a new series (that sadly, was never picked up). I just know they would do that spaceship justice!
sproxar2024-04-09 00:16:02 UTCThis is a great model, with lots of detail, including some hidden parts in the hangar bays that you'll need to hide the doors to see. A few notes though:
1. The polygon and vertex counts are quite a bit higher than shown in the stats. Actual polys: 3,371,781. Actual verts: 4,635,395.
2. I couldn't get the FBX file to import into 3ds Max, and the OBJ file for the hull couldn't find the associated materials. To get them to import, either rename the "Nova_Hull.mtl" file to "Nova_Hulla.mtl", or change line 3 of the "Nova_Hull.obj" file from "mtllib Nova_Hulla.mtl" to "mtllib Nova_Hull.mtl". Don't know why this was screwed up, but the fix was at least fairly simple once I figured it out.
enno-5eaa9d2023-10-31 08:03:08 UTCVery detailed and very easy to import in Blender. Looks great for me as a fan of the series. Thank you.
rishkhaa2023-09-07 08:14:43 UTCThe model is absolutely outstanding! It has a ton of details, materials and even textures. Purists beware, though: The modeler has taken quite a few liberties with the greebles. The 3d mesh is not an 1:1 replica of the studio model.
That being said, it is really breathtaking. I personally am a huge fan of the original model, but I like the additions made. Like missile silos and 2 turbolasers - and turrets everywhere! This explains much better where all the missiles and defense fire come from, as the movies/series is quite vague ^^ And for the purists it's a really really great base to start remodeling from.
