Default Attention Shipset Builders..

I was just thinking,.. if any of you shipset builders were to render some of your favorite ships in larger format I might be motivated to create a 'Stellar Montage' with them.

It's just a thought, Cheers!

David, how large of a render do you want?

I trust you'd want them in *.BMP format aswell?

anything that you think would be a good size for the screen rez of choice. (ie: If you want an extreme closeup of the ship in the foreground, then it can even be rendered bigger than the final screen rez. I would crop what I needed.)

I'm thinking that these 'montages' would be a colaberation, so the ship builder would be free to render the ship at whatever size he/she thinks would look good. Also, the 'angle' of the view is not limited to the 'standard' iso type perspective in se4. If you would like to have a ship heading towards a planet and seen from the rear then that's an option too.

Bottom line, I'll leave that part of the decision to you ship builders. I'll take creative licence for the backgrounds though.

Kapish? Cheers!

Edit: I can handle prety much any format (except if it's mac specific) So bmp, jpg, png whatever is easiest for you.

Oh, how I wish I still had my Fractalian ship models... maybe I can dig them up somewhere, if I could remember where I had them... but if you want you can just use one of my ship portrait pics and just have my ship off in the distance or something

edit: wait, you want an Ilwrath Avenger or a Spathi Eluder from Star Control that I modelled? Or do you only want original ships? I also have a Constitution class model from Star Trek (but the texturing sucks), and some of the units in my Borg set actually look halfway decent
