i think he should already know that his bashing looks a bit odd when comparing  to the vanila ships

Eh?

what i meant was your ship ain't fitting so good with the vanilla ones, just because that odd (shade) light/shadow
same for that asteroid/planetoid things
but personally i don't think thats a big issue BUT its visible

smuggling some WIP

@HELMUT

Lighting from Starsector is always from the top, slightly biased toward the front.  There is no lighting direction to the sides for large features, only for smaller details like specularity or greebles.

Let me give you a before-and-after example with the Vanguard you made:

Before	After

People use explanations!

HELMUT is confused!

HELMUT is hurting himself in his confusion!

Gotta rethink how i make my sprites...

[Shellster]

@theSONY: Those abomination ships you're working on are so awesome! Can't wait to see a release

Was messing around with some tri-tachyon ships for a change and came up with this. It's basically an Aurora 2.0, which i call the Eos.

errr..... is that stripe in the middle supposed to be an arch of sorts? Because as is it makes the white superstructure (at least that's what I assume it is) look rather flat

really nice design though, a battlecruiser, I presume? Looks like a more combat focused Odyssey

[Shellster]

I was trying to make the white structure appear recessed into the hull but my shading didn't really pull it off haha. The stipe was just to go over the top, I'll probably have to rethink that section.

That's certainly an interesting idea though.

Uomoz's crappy personal ride (starting ship).

The "Underdog" class scrapyard variant of the Hound:


Incidently also the 50th TuP ship (Yay!).

that, is a 0 to much, for a mod that initially introduced alternate starting ships.

If its recessed within the hull why would it have, for instance, windows?

Also i guess just shade it a bit more? make it look as though the blue platings are casting a shadow on it

[Gotcha!]

The 50th??? My gawd. That's a whole lot more than most factions have. Time to turn them into a faction!

[ValkyriaL]

well, he passed me a long time ago, i have 30, and thats pushing the limit.

[Uomoz]

pushing the limit.

Why? What limit?

[Okim]

Akhem...

@Shelster & gynnyfreak: The blue arch/stripe looks fine to me. It adds character and (at least to my eyes) blends well with the rest of the hull. The white structure seems clearly recessed. I think the shadows used at the edges of the white part to show that it's recessed are dark and sharp enough to make the shape of the recessed white structure look shallow by contrast. That's not necessarily a bad thing though.

@Erick Doe: Grats on making it over the hill
