[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] I'm not saying the NX is a bad design . I think its working allright for the show (not perfectly, but allright, just like a lot of things about the show) Just like the first time i saw the Nebula.. i said to myself 'Hey, they took a Galaxy model and rearraged it to make a new ship!' I said that because it was the only conclusion that was possible. I dont think the Nebula is a bad design, nor do i feel that it was creative laziness (budgetary maybe..). Its a good ship design that was recognizably arrived at by using an existing ship design. But if someone in vehement defense of the Nebula said that it was designed entirely new, they would be lying. As to the article that says that NX-01 was new built, i can only suppose its because they had to add more detail to the existing Akira mesh so they 'traced over it' so to speak. My first major 3d model i built about six years ago when i was in high school, a 1701. I was making it into a TOS style Reliant when the file kinda got loopy, with stray vertices and all sorts of wierd problems cropping up with the symmetry because of the complex subtractions and melds i was doing. I basically took the same model and made new uncorrupted shapes over it, but it still had my orignial dimensions and shapes, but i did have to delete the orginal. But the new 'scratch built' one took a fraction of the time it would have taken me to model a completely new saucer and still maintained all of my (incorrect!) proportions and details on the original.
