Creating Borg Vessel

posted on November 19th, 2010, 2:07 pm

I've got a model that I'm working on and I'm trying to make it look like a Borg vessel.  How would I create the polygons necessary to accomplish this?  Right now I have the basic shape of the vessel.

If it was me id make a bunch of armor plates of different sizes and shapes and just copy and paste them over the shell of your current model and then id add things like pipes and other stuff after that (btw i think this is called grebeling)

yup dircome, adding little surface details is called greebling. its very common.

Yep, an example would perhaps be the FO Borg, we are using a similar technique

Is there some sort of video tutorial on how to do that?  I get what you're saying, but I'm not quite sure how to do it.
