Oolite Bulletins

Looking forward to your texture adventure for the mantis :shock: :evil: :) After much fiddling and redoing, here's what I've got so far: It is a large ship which would benefit from a normal map >= 4k with some added noise on the flat surfaces (resize diffusemap/likewise and add noise/details on the...

apparently not down

I have seen those blue raptors somewhere, grin...

Lovely shine on the standard raptor!

1] Fullbody wrap with spaceship texture
2] Grayscale specular map from 1]
3] Gloss map from 1] almost complete white (lightened) hence the gloss

The basic idea behind the Queensnake is a ship whose main characteristic is speed and a particularly economical and effective fuel injector and an average cargo capacity of 30 ct.

Finally a Pitviper with Cargo

darker with gradient

I really like SDC for it's 'immersion', I use it to search for 'particular' ships ( follow ) and to look for ship destinations i can hitch a ride to...

I usually install oxz/oxps manual so that is not a problem, in time will look forward to a new version SDC-light...

2d composed shot ;P

Optical could work, shadertrickery from A_C, colorize, darkened, overlay.

But what should the engine show underwater, underwater stations? hmm...
