    Q1: Photoshop. (I bet the number of licenses sold on that software are only a tiny fraction of the number of people using it.)
    Q2: Why such difficult questions? A ship I can always look at again and just love flying around is the Defiant (and the Sao Paulo variant, and combinations thereof). Unfortunately I haven't gone back to it much since the advent of Tier 6 ships. Pathfinder with Intrepid Nacelles and Pylons is pretty much one of my newer favorites.​​

    Q2: I've been fond of the Chimera/Manticore class ship. It's very versatile, and easy to change roles mid mission.
  • dareaudareau Member Posts: 2,390 Arc User
    q! Photoshop
    q@ Been Pathfinder, but the Vesta keeps trying to draw me back into it...
    Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

  • giliongilion Member Posts: 686 Arc User
    Hmm, Q1 is a little vague. Im assuming since "EVERYONE uses Photoshop" that thats the answer, but a little confusing since the article was about 3D design.
    Q2: Odyssey Science Cruiser

    Also, it takes 20 days to model one ship?!? WTF!?! I mean ya I didnt think it was easy, but I really dont see one ship taking almost a month to model. Especially if thats the artists only job during that time.

    Yeah, the question was a little vague. But I was trying to make it easy ;)

    As for modeling the ship - I was surprised it didn't take longer! Back in the day I could crank out a complete website for a client in under 24 hours (not my finest work). Today working for a corporate entity, it took us 147 days to design, redesign, iterate, transmogrify and get approvals for just the homepage - and we're still not happy with it. The process is incredibly detailed, with hundreds of check-points for technical, legal and stakeholder requirements. I would imagine the details in building out the ship and tweaking the skin (check out part four of the article) can be all-consuming.
