I'm looking at it again, and I think it's mostly the outside of the beam arms themselves that don't quite fit with the rest of the glowmapping. The glow inside the arms (From the exposed parts not covered by the hull plating), as well as that of the joints connecting the arms are rather quite good. I think maybe reducing the amount of glowing shapes on the outside of the hull plates would improve it, unfortunately I can't provide any visual examples.

I think in short, it currently seems to be too illuminated.

Hrm... i'll play round with that when I get back to texturing and post some updates.

The original has a good amount of glow on the arms too.

[Kolgena]

Are we going to have any glow on the bundles of stuff under the upper "carapace"? It's looking mighty drag right about now (I understand that it's WIP)

I agree with everything Commander Zane said. Right now, it's looking a little too noisy on the spikes, and it's obscuring the model geometry.

The body though, man. Simply stellar. Just, stellar.

[Rga_Noris]

The entire underside is completely untextured. Just a base for now.

The original has a good amount of glow on the arms too.

Of course, they just slapped a tile there, and due to the nature of tiles, even if they didn't want it like that they couldn't have done much about it.

Also, I agree with Junko's assessment of the arms, I think the armor plates as well as the stuff below it all having glows is a bit weird, I'd personally try taking the glows off of the armor plates and keeping it on the surface under them.

[Commander Zane]

Junko

Gah.

[Rga_Noris]

I think the armor on the arms will get a MAJOR glow-down. They will retain some glowy bits, but as subtle accents instead of a dominating theme.

[Commander Zane]

That sounds promising.

[Hades]

Junko

Gah.

Can't wait to see it, Rga.

[Kolgena]

Will wait on further progress.

(Don't go too overboard though, the spikes are still on average supposed to be redder than the body.)

[Rga_Noris]

I will go with what looks good over what looks retail. If retailish looks good, then so be it.

[CommanderDJ]

I actually liked the glowmaps on the arms, but I understand where others are coming from when they say it's a bit overdone. In the end, you're a fantastic texturer, and I'm sure you'll get it done superbly.

[wistler]

You've just replaced the whale in my nightmares! 

[Ulala]

This is simply fantastic. Can't wait to play through the campaign again with this bad boy. (and all the other latest models!) Much kudos, Rga! Also, feel free to make and upload videos any time.

[Rga_Noris]

Get ready to hit your burners, pilots.

[Gloc]

 

Time to go bearbaiting. 

[Dragon]

Wow, it's amazing!
Can't wait for release.

[Lucika]

I'd put here a jawdropping smiley but that is not enough.

Maybe this is a dumb question , but this model is like the concept art one?
