Creating my own model in Vue

I bought this:

It's Osiris9's NAV 90 Avatar Class transatmospheric assault carrier. I.e. a Space Carrier. Well, I got Bryce and toyed with it to transfer the object into Vue. So far, I was unsuccessful. So I transferred it into DAZ Studio. I was unsuccessful and frustrated. To use the concept in Vue, I have to come up with my own and build it from Vue primitives and metablobs.

So I am starting my research:

Those are U.S. Aircraft Carriers.

Here are the British Aircraft Carriers

The Links I'm using for my research:
1. The U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier official home page at Navy.mil - http://www.navy.mil/navydata/ships/...rs/carriers.asp

2. How Stuff Works -- Aircraft Carriers: http://science.howstuffworks.com/aircraft-carrier.htm

3. Naval Technology.com: the site on Naval technologies: http://www.naval-technology.com


This is going to be an awesome undertaking.  I always wanted to see an Aircraft Carrier, much less modeling them.   Now I get my chance.  The model I bought is for Bryce and only Bryce.  Since I'd rather be working in Vue, here we go. :)
