Hi everyone, first time poster here. I'm working on this model for a class of mine. The model is based off some concept art I found on the Stargate Worlds website. I've never really modeled anything quite this complex before so any advice anyone can give me on ways to do it better or things I need to fix would be helpful. I have the start of a normal map on it that was projected from a higher poly model. It still needs a lot of tweaking but I wanted to include it to give an idea of some of the areas that I plan to add that kind of detail to.
