After watching the SG-1 season finale, I started trying to model an Ori ship. Unfortunately, the "cleave everything from one big block" method doesn't work particularily well for things with lots of rounded shapes. Oh well; I'll use this as a base for the next version which hopefully will have far fewere unnecessary vertices.

Oh and of course it doesn't have textures yet; I suck at texturing.

Basically just the shots of them on the ground in 9e19, and then from the end of 9e20.

Don't sector cleave, it's best to surface cleave and move vertices.

Listen to the wise man. You'll end up having to delete a lot of surfaces because of the cleaves, many of which will give a z-fighting appearance.

Code:
if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){

Well if I could figure out Blender I'd use that; but it has the most unintuitive controls ever.

Try Wings 3D, it's the only non-suck free editor that I know of. It's...different, though.
