for a change - i have attemped to give the ship more and interesting details on the rear ( since thats what you ll be staring at most of the time ) - the engines are shaped in a way that allow liberty impulse engines ( flame in the center - impulse rings around it )
so - the engine suggestion is liberty or BW. - right now - it is slightly shorter than the corsair GB, but considerably wider ( and a bit flatter ) - but all in all larger than the corsair GB - but that can be resized easily ( just a mouseclick )
the render shows a "non-dyed" skin, - yes.... its milkshape - doesn t show a model dyed in the UTF editor... and making a screenshot in HardCMP isn t worth the disc space, cause HardCMP does not have lightsources ( so models look flat and ugly )
gonne place an ingame shot tomorrow.
edit:
- the BW blue will become a midnight blue black steel but not as shapeless as the ravent talon
- the tan colour ( next to the cockpit ) will become a pale black.
what you see are basic colours ( like the osiris - its a basic liberty skin - but dyed dark )
think so - dark is somewhat in line with the order. - ( dark - not black, mind ) - also colours will be tuned down some.... order ships are rather shadowy with a few highlights. i ll try to achieve a somewhat osiris like shade - once i figure out how to dye the skin without crashing the program:laugh:
hm - yes - i made it as wide as possible ( as wide as the frame allowed ) - but the perspective of the milkshape renderer distorts models a little. - it looks OK though - it looks like one of the very large gunboats ....
but then... whats better - a gunboat that is very large ... or no gunboat at all haha:P.
