The main hull is now completely masked, I'm moving onto to the turrets, rebaking AO, then it's off to QS.

And I can't wait see the normal map. The results one can achieve with QS 2.0 can be astonishing :)

Imported into QS and smart materials made. Now it's time for detail work.

Outstanding :yes:

How are you going to make diffuse for this? As far as I know, there is no diffuse option in current quixel release. Hornet mentioned that it was present in previous version. Normal, pbr-maps etc. first, and diffuse later?

The PBR equivalent of diffuse is Albedo. If you change the export target to specular non-pbr, it will export only the albedo, specular, and normal, with slight calibration changes to make the materials work in non-pbr setups.

As much as I do really like it (1000% yes), I'm finding the paint scheme a little busy. I get the reason to highlight the geometry, but maybe some of the areas of high contrast could be toned down a little bit?

I dunno, it does look busy but once its been panel lined, had a coat of dark tone wash and a bit of weathering I think it will appear more homogeneous.

Yeah, I was thinking the problem might fix itself as the texturing process goes on. (In which case just ignore me...!  :warp: )

I'm gonna be using the paneling to generate weathering as well as offcoloring some of the plates of armor themselves. The normal Deimos won't have a lot of weathering because they're fairly new at the time of FS2(citation needed?) but have certainly seen some action. I will also make a heavily weathered variant for mods that take place further along the timeline (Inferno, BP, etc.) Hades has specified I leave out glows from the beam weapons but if there is a demand for it I will also include glowmaps where the beams have glows.

There's nothing that says when exactly Deimos corvettes were introduced just that "[t]hese sleek, ultra-modern warships are the products of a new era of ship design". I mean you can take ultra-modern from anywhere from "straight out of the shipyard" to "most advanced currently". And 18 months of beam warfare are going to certainly create a good amount of weathering...

The Oxford dictionary has ultra modern as "extremely modern; advanced".

That being said, I'm not opposed to a weathered version being made for post-FS2 campaigns or for FS2 for those that want to use it, even if it's not my taste.

It needs some weathering and space miles on it so it won't look like a toy. Right now all the panel lines grab my eye and fire it around about 15 places and then off away from the model. It's like a flowchart for how not to look at itself.

The criticisms are absolutely OTT, imho. At the most, all of those concerns are easily solved by a slight toning down with the saturation with the base colors of each plate. The weathering will do the rest, nevermind the lighting of the windows, etc.

That's not why it looks like a toy, it looks like a toy because it looks painted. Weathering and space miles on it at this stage would just make it look like a used diecast toy. It needs paneling, it needs more than a base coating to make it look less toy-like.

I also think it might help to solidify colors somewhat, we may have gone overboard on it.
