Volunteer so I don;t have to let Takashi have the first crack.

God Damn. That was what I was desperately hoping to avoid. A crappy, buggy, overpolied first edit that scared people off. Here's hoping VA can salvage something.

Was trying to catch you over MSN, but you went offline too quick.

I think the bigger problem is that everyones modeling styles and techniques are so radically different, that integrating them will just result in a franken-model.
The modeling side of that won't be a problem for experienced modelers - they'll be able to integrate their mesh no worries. Visually though, there could quite easily be sudden changes.

If this one falls through, aside from pinching the mesh for eventual completion, I'd recommend starting with a really basic but good overall ship hull shape and letting people work on it from there.

In it's current state I doubt many people will be able to edit it much. I think I put too much detail on too soon, leaving far too little room for future maneuvering.

I do want to see what we end up with though.

VA, if I had the right program for this, you would discover I have no problem with completely screwing up other people's work.

I'm so glad I can'y be arsed with modelling at the moment......

Ok, why is a modeller complaining that this project is dead on HLP? That's like a doctor complaining that a patient right in front of him is going to die unless a doctor can be found...
