(possible) shipset

[primitive]

Nice texture and shape, but I have a comment.

The rendering makes a shadow over the front of the ship. Makes it look like a toy under a spotlight

What!? It so IS a toy under a spotlight

I know about that, I'm still using the same lighting used for the scout because I don't feel like changing it every time. In stead, I just wait until I have all ship models and THEN work out a decent lighting I can use for every ship
Thanks for the comment though

Phaw, a lot of work?? I usd to knock shipsets out over weekends!

Nice kinda colouring/style on the shipset.

Your fleet is facing the wrong way though? Trying to be different eh?? Well, it won't work so well. The portraits need to facing inwards from the right side of the screen in teh majority of cases, it just looks better that way.. ok?

Erm, and try and put some effort into making different ships look structurily different. I can quite blantantly see you've taken the smaller fighter, and added some stuff to it, then added some more for the large fighter. You should at least scale the frame slightly so the small fighter 'looks' smaller then the large fighter. Maybe extend the cockpit out, or add wings, just make it look different!

Texturing, the lighting seems a bit odd, kinda flat, for some reason I keep thinking the models are upside down. Maybe bring the camera in closer and use a wider angle lens, you'll get a bit more perspective on the image then.

Go on, aim to make a new shipset! No matter how long it takes you. =)

Hmmm... where to begin?

Yep, I was trying to be different, didn't think it'd be that much of a difference though, easy enough to change.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough: the fighters are ALL based upon ehhr.. shouldn't give that one away yet - let's say they 'exist' already, but you are right, they will be scaled properly in the end (didn't bother with that yet as these are just images to show the progress and allow for criticism )

Again, demo images, I hope the final ones will be much better too

At one ship/day it won't take too long, I just hope I can keep it up


Oh yeah, there now is a destroyer too:

Ok, here's the heavy destroyer too
