The aft section and the bow section are a Work In Progress.
Just want to clear things up here:
you said Work in progress, I said Placeholder.
WIP means that it's partway done, and just needs further detailing etc.
Placeholder means that it is just there to block out the shape, and any detail is irrelevant.
Does this help to explain my point of view?
I was not trying to "take a ***" on you, but rather point out that what you'd done was not an improvement in my opinion, I guess it sounds more angry than I meant it to looking back on it, but w/e, it's no big deal.
Let me further my thoughts on that effect you applied to the ship by using another ship you applied it to as an example:
Spoiler
After applying the effect lots of detail is lost and the high contrast between dark and light areas strains my eyes to look at.
Take the front left large? turret mount as an example, after the effect is applied most of the detail is removed as all but the lightest areas are converted to almost solid black.
I really would like to know your rationale behind using this effect on ships.
