Here's a look at the first of the new builds for the Atinoda ships. This is the Raptor, a corvette produced by the Atinoda Corporation.

Thanks... I'm still thinking of keeping the Atinoda ships looking simple and sleek as I always thought of them as the limos of space warfare...

Very cool. It looks identical to one of the ship designs I was planning on constructing, but I guess you beat me to it. Nice work.

Actually, it's just the body of the original Raptor retooled a bit with a very new bridge section added... Also - that is only build one... the even never build for the Raptor now has a thruster, with glow and wings which are even more enhanced to give the sprites a birdier and more predacious feel to them...

I also want to do something a little more muscled for the Kestrel, and the fighter will either be called the Firebird or Thinderbird...

Sorry for the double post getting a little brain-fried from all the 3-D work...

How'd you make the shading detail on the wings? I'd think it's a texture, but I seem to remember that you never work with image maps. So, how'd you do it?

The surface is a touch plastic-looking, and I personally prefer grey for Antinoda ships...but I also like blue-green, so it's all good. Other than that, it's great! The shape is indeed sleek yet strong, and the wing shading gives it character. Great, as usual!

------------------

Quite nice.

It's all basic surfaces and carefully crafted 3-D objects. Also - the final model for the redone Raptor is now done and it is a little bit different and better than the picture shown in this thread. Today I will be working on the Kestrel or the fighter.

Looks, great, but I have one complaint: you got rid of the end wing fins! I thought those were really cool, and added a nice little effect for the ship.

They are on the Kestrel, as it has a different rudder configuration... The Raptor has the twin tail instead of a single rudder with stabilizers...
