Wow Im impressed, not to say that the other models youve done werent works of art. This baby is gorgeous not to mention Im super excited for the rare warp-in vessels. I just love oldies but goldies.

As a student, how would I get my hands on a copy of it?

Zeich im sure it was kind of a hassle for you to do but love it if you would do a few more of these videos also i would love to see how you unwrap it. Maybe its my technique that makes it take so long i should really take a class in this

How terrible its going to be when the centaur gets annilated in battle, the detail on this ship looks amazing.

Look on the bright side; when it gets blown to pieces, at least the pieces will be beautifully detailed.

The process does take a decent amount of time, but I would definitely like to do it again.  And next time I'll include the unwrap. There are a few reasons I did not include the unwrap with the Centaur, the major one being that it is pretty boring.  Unwrapping is not that creative a process and does not really make anything visually interesting to see.  Another reason is that I use two monitors to unwrap, which is a bit harder to capture.  But I'll make an effort next time to show you how I do it.

I opened an account, but I'm not really majoring in game design...so should I still use it then? Stupid question I know, but I thought I'd ask it.

Do you have sound for the "German" version? I can't hear anything... :<

Well, maya does not produce much sound during modeling

"Confirmed sir, deploying edge"
"Triangle production complete"

I can't wait for the new D'deridex... the current one isn't quite as intimidating as it should be.

Well i guess the main reason i ask is because im really just now getting a handle on how to do it and i would like to see it done on a ST ship.
