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

I like them all, tended to favor the lower-right version of the original image, and agree it might be good to shed a little more light on them.

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!

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)!

Well, the're well-made and the texture is very good, but they look like brutal warships, which is probably what the're supposed to be.

I think by making the red/green areas yellow, you make them look too much like the Phong ships.

Ah, I see what you mean now Narf. Thanks!

Kwok, you're right. The yellow made them too similar to the Phong, and actually clashed a bit with the green. It was...not the effect I wanted, so I'll stick with the existing colors.

They are vacuous and uninspired!

No wait... that was a lie!

I like the upper right one in the original set of four. But they all look good!
