[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] Well, its been a while since i meshed antything or 3d modeled, but i can see exactly how the original Akira model was manipulated. First, the nacelles and pod were deleted. The bridge was removed too. Most surface details (paneling, phasers, windows) were taken off, probably since they were textures (graphics which were laid onto the hull) The catamarans were scaled, meaning they were sized down but they remain at their original contours just in a different relation to the rest of their model (this is apparent in that they have the same little machinery pod on top of them, just different sized). The flat area that was between the catamarans remains on the NX-01, but it is no longer fit between them because they are much smaller. It shows as a flat square section on the forward saucer. Many other details like this, suchas the forward indentation, are immediately recognizable and retain the same basic dimensions as the original model. The saucer was flattened on one dimension so it would be circular rather than ovular. These are all changes i could make to an Akira model in the matter of a few minutes. Of course, the texturing, windows and lighting would be much more time consuming, as would the construction of new nacelles. But the fact remains that if the NX-01 isnt a copy of the akira, there was either a lot of work done replicating the exact details of the orginal model or there was an amazing coincidence occurring.
