Well, I realy like the main ship body, but the round knobs on the ends of the guns..well they just don't look right.
And i dont like the thunder engens.

The ligtning engines are kinda out of place, but here's a suggestion for a replacement. Since you have those neon green tube things on the engines, you could use bryce's fire texture and set the difuse color to neon green. Set the ambiance to high and move the transparency slider up a bit and you've got a green ion jet. As for the knobs on the end of the guns, well, try making a vertical cylinder and converting it to a torus in the edit bar. What you'll get is an oblect the looks like a streched sphere with a hole on each end. Try using those instead of the knobs.

I think you should do something about the shine on the cockpit, it doesn't look like it rendered properly or something.

I havn't posted on this board in awhile, but I'm always reading it and I just had to say, that ship you made is pretty sweet! Also for some reason I really like the lightin coming out of the engines.
Very nice! If your ever interested in making graphics for a plugin please contact me.

Hi,
first of all: very nice ship design (although it reminds me a bit of something I saw in TV (maybe Babylon5?))
Just a few details I don't like:

PS: Could you post a pict of this second ship in the background? It looks like a Gunboat-Manta-Hybrid

I agree, it looks like the nose is made of plastic. Here's an idea:
Make the nose out of the same material as the rest of the ship, and put a second sphere with the original blue texture inside the larger sphere. Make the large sphere positve and the inner glass sphere neutral. Then create a few rectangular objects and make them negitive. Now position them on the "metal" nose so they form windows. Group the negitive and positive objects togther. What you should get are windows, with the blue glass shining through. It looks really neat if you do it right.

Geez, it's been awhile since i've posted....That is one excellent ship, I like the smaller ship in the lower righthand corner, but the laser kind of seems outof place. It's just a little too think and it looks like a solid shiny platic rod is being projected. The main ship looks great, I really like the the engine glow.

ya I tried to find a photoshop filter that would make it more like a lazer and less like a shiny plastic rod... but I could'nt find one. Jol'Jvik, do you know of any ps filters that would make a good lazer?
