I don't think I like the brown. Imperial fighters were always gray or very dark blue.

well does need a bit more refinement, part of the idea was that most of these are deployed in the outer-mid rim, flown by mercs, mess-ups, or the essentialy insane pilots, and most of these have been around since the end of clone wars, so they have a bit more character

Still, the brown doesn't look like it belongs there. It just looks "tacked on", with no logical reason why it's there. Same goes for the blue stripe, which appears on the cockpit, well, out of the blue.

[mandobardanjusik]

well that blue strip as you put it, is a brace that is on most members of the tie series, I just need to find the right shade. also the brown part is a nosecone, like on the x-wing

Try the color picker?

[mandobardanjusik]

ok nothing to big, been messing with some possible coloring schemes, hopefully more soon

[mandobardanjusik]

ok the blue&gold is now supended unless  requested. so here are a couple of current takes, and several texture improvements as well

Think I'll name mine "Dolly"...

[mandobardanjusik]

whoops forgot to do one with the alternate gold colored metal sections, so here is one that might be a correllian flight leader, I was thinking some correlian mercs would proably be crazy enough to fly these
also yes I did one red, though it doesnt need the color to make it go faster, as this is proably one of the fastest ships you can fly

THe red colored Dagger reminds me on the red TIE Interceptor of the Emperor's Royal Guard which appeared in SW:Galaxies.

[mandobardanjusik]

actualy, it showed up in the comics back in the 90s, but you do have a point maybe that should be its imp colors, and maybe thats where it came from

Nice modelling thus far. 

IMO, drab brown/tans all over would be ideal for the "mercenary" look.  Other than that, maybe just a standard TIE muted grey/blue palette.  I'd nix the metallic sheen though, it makes it look very... 90s CGI (and not very Star Wars, for that matter!) 



Oh, and yay, first post!  I have. Been lurking. For ages.

I'd start with the grey version, as it makes sense to deal with visually distracting color scheme stuff after the greebles are done, just like IRL.

A agree.  Also, when you do start back on the colors, you'll probably want to tone them back several notches.  Paint in the movies is invariably very faded, chipped, and worn off.  Right now it looks like those pieces are made of colored plastic instead of metal with a coat of paint.

A-thank-you

Yep.  Once a suitably detailed "bare bones" texture is done you could then start experimenting with different colour variations.

A while ago Mando asked me for help on texturing the Dagger (even though I'm a novice myself). I've taken as far as I want to. I think this is a good starting point for some additional schemes if anyone is so inclined.

[mandobardanjusik]

  That is awesome Rhettro Thank you so much, still needs more polishing but you have done far more than I could have, cant wait to do some rebel colors! I may finaly see one of my ships ingame

[swashmebuckle]

Nice, looks like it's coming right along. Some of the flat areas have places where it seems like there are panels and other lines that overlap kind of strangely, but overall it's starting to look pretty cool.

[Hobbie]

Sexy. Now make it have the firing noises from Star Wars Starfighter and we'll be all set.
