I’m aware of that but I want to make stuff myself and also test the new version array modifier which makes creating gears shapes way easier and Egg Cannon has many shapes made that way.
I also consider making henterprise, what worried me is the text but turns out it just uses Teko.
Here’s a comparison between a basic remake vs the original:
Well… a bit too much:

Before making the yolk star, I wanted to make a general model for Mother Hen Ship (which was in a poll before)
But still, I want to note:
And this is it, but what about the yolk star, well, it’s still in progress.
I’m currently stuck at making points spread across the center area. The easiest (and messiest) solution I could find is repeatedly copying and pasting the point/light source.
If anyone has better solution let me know.
nice egg pinanas :3
Of course, no one answered… However, during that time I decided to finish another model I left.
One of the reasons why I made this model is because of one single feature. Array (The new version), Wait, new version?
Yes older versions of Blender, yes had Array but was a basic line, the version I use has a circle version which made modeling most parts easy, fast. There are still parts I struggled with like pipes, top area. “wheels” pre center.
And this is it.
And remember, I still need a solution for the yolk star lighting issue mentioned above. Hopefully someone might fix it.

Of course no one answered. So I had to cheat it, I basically used volume + manually placed points. But wait, how the blue glow is done?
Unfortunately, it’s done outside of Blender by making a separate layer and fully color it dark blue. I’m aware it’s possible to use Compositor but I didn’t use it that much. So far most issues are about lighting, effects. but what about the model itself?
The only issue I had is modelling the laser gun itself. I was easy but modeling it specifically when it was arrayed on eggshell was hard as I couldn’t change views that easily, but after all, we’re done with it. We can even change some stuff and do this:
um.. there is something you need to fix it , it is the circular valve at the end bcz the upper one is out if the loop
Now thats better

pinanas keep it up :3
So, I’ve told you before that I wanted to rework the ships to have better appearance, I started the rework with copying the sun lighting setups across the ships and then decided..
While in the way let’s remake the engine model. And soon after (not actually soon because that time was filled with making new models) the new engine got modeled:
And after that time to put them on model:
And of course, I ported this new engine to all other ships:
And the answer is so it can be easily customizable with complicating stuff. You can simply change materials per model like this shape:
Or even add textures or combine shader nodes with it to get more unique results:
The choice is up to you!
Now there were other ships for the episodes and of course they weren’t forgotten.
Being CI1, CI3, CI4 almost the same. Hen solo had more stuff to model for details, semi realistic lighting (totally by accident):
What made this is hard is that I needed to make the lighting always face the center and yet be bright enough to make the shine visible.
Now what about Henterprise model?? Uh, It’s not ready yet but surely it will be the next target
That’s all I have to say for now. The zip has been updated as usual with all mentioned stuff.

now the shine is better :3
While in the way, I want to mention what made this model a bit harder to do, many objects like light, text, paint are seperate objects on their own and not textures.
That’s so they can become easily editable in Blender but aligning them with the base model becomes hard. And that also makes bending the font a nightmare. Similar to my actual nightmares of remodelling Egg Cannon.
Also, yes the light/windows are now randomly light, similar to the original Henterprise. This is all what I have for now. The base is around 60% done, which all circular objects being done but needs some polish, exhausts, legs, extra details.
This is it for now.
oooo

Well. Let’s talk about each section first, let’s start with the base ship:
Everything was straightforward later on, only the base ship was hard. The legs, engines turned to be leaning slightly away from each other.
And this is it, for now. The zip has been updated with the model as usual.
Impressive!

Actually none of these models took a while. They were really easy. So here are some views of them:
Now after making these models, which one do I start next?
