A more plasticky-looking “advanced polymer” surface might work better. Possibly with a matte look to set it off from the crowd.

That's going to stretch my abilities a bit though i think, i can only do the 3 R's - Rivets, Rust and uh, more Rivets
edit: I might be able to manage rusty rivets though at a stretch

how about organic ?

I pictured a mark 2 of the moray not that long ago







Oolite shot no shader apart from a normal map



My inspiration was lobster/crab fish

It's a lovely ship!

Moray meets Cobra Mk3 meets a Cylon Raider.

One suggestion - split the centre "eye" at the front in to two - then it would (for me) have a more organic "face"

Cool. Look forward to seeing it in-game

Organic? We can do organic!



If you want some proper carapace for it, then I'm sure I can look something out.

I can do a complete sheet of crackle plate for you if you like.

Holy %^&! And you can get the cylon eye effect with shaders! This is soo tempting!

Oops! Barring accidents, your obj2dattex.py should find its way to trunk real soon now!

I like the eagle. The docking bay seems a bit cramped .

Well done everyone!

i'm a bit late with this as the lovely planet screens shots were a few pages ago, but i suddenly just thought, for the purposes of ego inflating, that if the city light thing becomes a supported effect in the game i'm going to make a secret planet that has my forum avatar drawn out in twinkly lights

Mystery cruiser visits Zadies



XBN- Xexedi
Ship spotted in flight. Journalists today revealed a picture picked up from the nose cam of a viper that took a shot of a large starcruiser in Zadies orbit space before it jumped out. The ship appears to be larger than an Orisis but smaller than the Aurora class.

Nobody knows if this is an official design. We keep you informed as more news pops up.

The Polaris Destroyer is undergoing a massive refitting...(texturering)



Work In Progress Render. those gren fighters looks like Eagles, and the eagle surely was the inspiration, however these have tail fins, for athmospheric flight. I was going with the name falcon, but that is ofcourse taken...

Eagle Close up, will get more detail in the paint job



merry christmass

I think I just had an oogasm

That red glow from the docking bay most certainly gives off a vibe that says "You better have your invitation in order!"

That's a real improvement over the previous version, almost unbelievable...and now it's becoming difficult to wait for that oxp!

Do we have hawks already? A kite or simply the more general raptor?

Screet

Loving the new texture and the docking bay is suddenly menacing rather than inviting!!

Isn't the Polaris "docking bay" the ship's main laser in a "real" omega class?
