I agree - a nice-looking shipset indeed.

But one question...

Dogscoff, when oh WHEN will the KanesS be finished?

Xaren Hypr, I like your set. Very clean! I have one question. Why didn't you use a Bump in the texture?

That is a very nice set, I like the bases and units especially. Neo-standard compliant, too- excellent.

I wasn't quite expecting this kind of response...I guess de-lurking isn't so dangerous after all

Suicide Junkie: I used mechs for the troops/infantry as the soldiers don't pilot the mechs, they are the mechs.

I might edit the drone tho..I was going for a technorganic look (the green-black), but it's sometimes a bit too dark, it seems.

, what do you mean by using a Bump in the texture?

Well, I have to finish the Vikings first, and I started them about 2 years ago...

Actually, I will probably have an early release Version (ie all the standard ships but not all neostandard ones) ready in the next month or so. I'm a slow worker when it comes to these things, and I keep getting sidetracked, usually by offering to do race portraits for people or by RL or by the nxp or by Othaglot & Cane...

Anyway... yeah. I'll get back onto it, maybe I'll have time for some graphics this weekend. The AI (proportions only) is ready to go thanks to Oleg, I just need to get the bases, mines, troops, drone, a few fighters and baseships done. Gulp.

Xaren Hypr, you have created a very nice set! I espcially like the brightness of the ships, they should show up nicely against the stars.

Speaking of that...I'm finally getting close to completion on the Verdurans (I work slowly, too). Are you still planning on doing a race portrait for them? (No problem if you're not, just let me know)

It is a texture add to the surface. It gives the surface depth. In the 'Texture Tab' of DOGA L3 it is the third square over. You can tweak it with % of depth, % of density and then you may want to invert it. Hope that helps!
