OT: Which of these looks best?

[Renegade 13]

So, which of these ships do you like best? Before you ask, I'm making them to be sorta like relatives of the Phong. Same general shapes, different configurations and coloring. Please, let me know which is best, what I can do to make them better!

[Ed Kolis]

I like the one in the lower right.

[Captain Kwok]

I like the ones on the right side.

OK, I've counted up all the votes thus far. When people said they liked two or more, I just divided the vote (.5 for two, .25 each for all four if all four were liked ). The results are:

Top Left: 2.5
Top Right: 4
Lower Left: 1.5
Lower Right: 5

So it's a close race between Top Right and Bottom Right. Lower left is pretty much out (it was my least favorite as well).

Maybe I'll just have to create a couple variations. Keep an eye out for some more models which will come as I have time to work on them!

Maybe later I'll have some sort of a competition where people can suggest names for the finished set, with the best one chosen by vote or by me . Might be a little while before the set is done though.

I was in a mood this evening to create some ships for this set, so I sat down for an hour and a half and made 13 ships, just over a quarter of what I need. After that many I kinda ran out of creativity so I'll have to wait a bit. But in the meantime, I finished all ships from Scout up to Heavy Dreadnought. Below are the models of the Heavy Destroyer, Battlecruiser and the Dreadnought.

Please let me know your honest and full opinion of these ships. Don't sugar-coat anything, I can take it Any criticisms (as long as they're constructive) are most welcome, or just feel free to say what's on your mind.

I've tried to keep these ships somewhat simple in form, sort of like the Phong they resemble. Thus the heavy usage of circular shapes, stretched and distorted somewhat. Actually, I think a circle is the only basic shape I've used to create these ships!

Anyways, enough of me babbling, here's the ships!

Pretty ships, in an ugly sort of way.

Looks nice, maybe a bit dark. What do they look like with a bit more light?

I'm afraid I have no idea what this means

PVK, Wolfman77, I'll try messing around with the lighting and re-rendering. Although I'm not sure if I can actually get the lighting to be good, so they may stay as is, except color. See below.

DEG, I actually hadn't thought of the red/green color scheme as being holiday colors. Subliminally snuck through it seems! Anyways, I think I'll try out the yellow instead of the red and post a couple of before/afters in a bit. Probably later tonight.

And yep, I love Bryce Esp. the UI, it's simple and easy to learn, yet powerful.

Come on, somebody bash my work, it's eerie to have no one say anything bad (yet)!

Could you do a test with your last batch of nice ship designs?.. Change the red to yellow? Post a sample, I think a green and yellow color scheme would look better than the red and green. mind you red and green are christmas colors and tis the season and all that.

btw isn't bryce a wonderful program?

Cheers!

Top Left. Looks like the ship's been used and not sitting in dock with the crew buffing and waxing it.
