hokay - here's the rest of them...

The six YAH sidewinders are at the bottom, the top left is an alternative to the jaguar spots for the core sidewinder and the top right is a whimsey...

Aybabtu: not just for human beings.

Don't worry Ark, only the bottom six will go in the oxp. Though I did think of doing a commie one inciting the proletariat to rise up ... workers unite!

Simon what can i say!!

BTW when you do the replacent fror the nav bouys in the core set maybe you can make an alteration of it in order to also replace the terrascreens in Yah (as long as they will be combatible with the ad textures in every set)
If you can also do that i would take under very serious consideration the creation of a new Yah version that will replace the existing one

@DH Do you believe the the mall wart sidewinder has to be a little bit more blue or this is my personal opinion?

Commies do not use sidewinders for that job

... I've tried to simulate neolite shaders in this render. Have you noticed that making an image look messed up makes it look more realistic?

The blue was sampled off the original, but it picked up a lot of grey from the underlying metal. It may need to be lighter, but it looks pretty good now. And recall, the textures are brighter in oolite - the mall wart logo should be very visible.

OK - I just had this arrive in my inbox and I cannot wait for the creator to show them off here...

Will the creator please stand up?

Simply fantastic.

Please, whoever created these, stand forth so that we may know who brought this beauty into the world.

Simon B - you've done a simply superb job on the Sidewinders! Bravo.

Ark - I'll trust Simon on this one with regards to the MallWart colouring.

The new Coriolis is sublime - good to see there's life in the old shape yet! Whomever did it - double bravo!

Damn, that is one pretty Coriolis station!

And some very cool Sidewinders

Best wishes,

For the rapier - the engines together are 792 triangles. The rest all together make 566. 1358 total. But that is counting panels with material = hole. That includes a lot from the engine - so I should probably just cut it down.

This gives me two natural parts anyway - an easy model if Wolf is happy with the change to his design. Otherwise I seperate off the two cargo bays.

I hope you spotted my approval in the message previous to yours.

My site is down today - apparently domains4less accounting software think I have not paid my fees. It's being sorted.

Whoah....

I have just spent ages reading this whole discussion....

Why do my eyes tell me that looks more real.... when its messed up?
BTW what is the inspiration and meaning of "Neolite" ????

Kiwi As!

Yeah gudduy mate;
y'know there's an "edit" do-hicky in the corner there if you need to change what you write?

Sadly I'm not a kiwi - I just live here.
It's all choice-az tho. For kiwiana in oolite, search for rangiwaka.

Origin of neolite: neo oolite -> neooolite -> neolite

When this was just a couple of ships I was calling them neo<shipname>. I see that neolite refers to neolithic impliments and structures, as well as a trademark for a kind of rubber used in shoe heels.

Sadly my site is still down - grrr.
If you ask nicely, someone will send you the oxp.
I'll see if I can find an alternate location meantime - personal page I guess.

I'd really like to try this out, so it would be great if anyone could upload this OXP temporarily.
These new textures just look fantastic
