Might it be easier to change the ooniverse to fit in with the model?

Either Murgh's Iron Asses, or one of the many other low-poly retexture sets?

The really low-poly Basilisk is probably the one that stands out the most. What do people think of replacing it with a re-textured PitViper Mark II? It's a bit bigger (57m×52m×94m vs 14.66m×12.8m×60m), but I could scale it down a bit to get it closer.

I've had a go at trying to make the existing model look like it fits in the universe, and this is about as good as I can make it:

I mean, I think it's better, but you can't escape the fact that is it really low-poly.
Sure a lot of the old ships lack polys certainly compared to Griffs Industries Newer Designs, but they are unique. Thats what your removing if you replace them with something already in the game.

So what will made this Basilisk stand out is a real spec gloss map, so no more full gloss trickery :wink: :lol:

(Tip: move the metal plating to specgloss maps RGB, darken the metal parts in the diffuse RGB. The painted parts and the logo need something else :? )
