Hmmmmm,is this a docking fleet?
I thought so.

Docking fleet?

Yeah,I guess those hooking thin are docks...

If it looks metallic, you should probably use Blinn shading, Anisothropic otherwise.
Autodesk Maya uses Alt + LMB to rotate; no idea about Blender, though.

Ha, Blender. It seems so long ago XD I haven't touched 3D software properly in years

Looking pretty good =^-^= are you happy with your own results?

Am I happy? Hmm. With hard surface, yes, though I may do a remodel of my old ship 'Dante' just to be sure. :)

Things I'm not happy with are the things I haven't touched yet. Colour. Rendering proper (this is a screan grab). And playing with the camera for animation. I got this far with TrueSpace before, and I'd like to do at least that well in blender:

But mostly I'm happy that I can play with an animation that will actually work on my computer! TS4.3 will technically run (glitchily) but the 16bit programme that instals it won't. Grrr! I joke about CGI comissions a few years back. Maybe this time I can make it happen.
So overall, 'not yet'. Which is probably the best answer an artist can have.

I have to say this looks very nice.  ipoke linked me to it.

Glad you liked it. It was a challenge to model acurately.
