Your models are the reason why I want to play this when it finally reaches release.

Re: DReimZ (Z-95 Reimagined)
Love the dirty version for the rebellion, but I assume you've got that texture as a layered image somewhere? So we can tone down the dirt for campaigns set earlier on in the piece?

Re: DReimZ (Z-95 Reimagined)
...It seems I've instigated a riot. Sweet!

From when I first heard of and saw the Z-95, it always had these features:

-Four engines. Always. On a single, non-moving wing.

Well, let me point you back to the images I've posted here of early Z-95s.  Also, in their original appearance in Han Solo at Star's End, they had swing wings, a la an F-14.  Even further, if one goes on the Z-95 page on the wookie, out of 7 images posted, 2 of them have S-foils.
Quote
-A bulge behind the cockpit for the hyperdrive motivator, or something like that.
Once again, see early images.  
Quote
-A bubble-like canopy. Lucas Arts seems to have added progressively more canopy framing over time - no idea why.
Well, actually mine is more bulbous than the schematics in the EGVV, and two incarnations of the headhunter (not including the early two posted) have an angular, X-Wing like cockpit.

As for other comments, yes the shape is done, it's not changing, and no I'm not redoing it, modifying it or going back to any earlier revisions.  The texture may change as I do other schemes, and yes, the wings aren't quite dirty enough compared to the fuselage, I'll correct this soon (though also note that the wings are receiving a lot more light than other areas due to their shape and the angle of the lighting).  All-in-all, it's effectively done, and having considered the criticism, I've decided to keep it as is, so if you have anything further to add, I hope it isn't yet another demand for me to change it, or complaint that it's not the Z-95 you have in your head, it's been argued to death enough.  In other words, keep it to yourself.

Also, yes the texture is layered so the dirt can come and go as it pleases.

Re: DReimZ (Z-95 Reimagined)
Given your level of research and confidence in your design, I have to say you've won the day once more. I may still prefer the previous version, but no matter. Good work, Brand.

:D

Re: DReimZ (Z-95 Reimagined)
It doesn't seem to have modelled cockpit, but that's the case with all your models.
Anyway, I'd like to see it converted.

Re: DReimZ (Z-95 Reimagined)
Can we get a picture from below please?
And I'm still not sure were the missle tubes are located, but maybe the pic form below answers that question.

Very, very nice ship  :yes:

 
Re: DReimZ (Z-95 Reimagined)
That looks great. What does it look like in-game?

Re: DReimZ (Z-95 Reimagined)
Thanks for the 2nd pic. And from behind too, even though I forgot to mention that  :nod:
So I take it the missle tubes are those barely visible notches extending from the black smudges about halfway down the "nose" rigth?

Re: DReimZ (Z-95 Reimagined)
I figured after a request for an underside shot a rear shot would soon follow, so I just combined the two hehe.  And yes, the missile tubes are near the front.  Basically I just took the X-Wing tubes and moved them a bit forward
