Opinions?

I started learning some plane modeling, so I just kinda started this base. Sorry about the render quality - I just stuck some Omni lights in so it wasn't dark. Suggestions for a map this would go around? I'm thinking kind of like a Sidewinder-ish map with the bases in kind of hills or something. I suppose I could make an outside for the bases as well, but it looks like there should be a kind of weird layout with where I put the base entrances....

Looks, ok, but needs smoothing

yeah - I haven't applied any smoothing groups yet.... and I think converting it to editable mesh made some smoothing errors on the inside. I dunno how to get rid of those except with some very specialized smoothing groups

I see lots of non planar faces, please fix them. Also, those ramps on the outside don't look forerunner at all. Also also, the outside is too plain, and it looks the same.

rooster - you're talking about the faces on the inside? I had to switch to editable mesh for something and that happened. I think it has to do with the retarded way editable poly faces some things...

I dunno if I'll fix the outside yet - It might be hidden in the ground, it might not. If it's above ground, I'll fix some of that stuff. I was kinda aiming for forerunner architecture, and I think I did a decent job on most of the inside (not that door - lol) The outside IS kinda gross, but I think it'll look better once it's actually in the map...

It follows the same pattern too much, I dislike that. Too many messed faces, it's allright but not good.

No, actually, editable mesh is an accurate representation of how the faces would actually look. Just change the points of the vertices so they are planar.
