I literally have no idea how many ships I ever made. But about a month ago I realized that except for fix for HTL Ulysses, I never made any contribution to FreeSpace Upgrade Project o___O. Shame on me!
Are they even available? I remember some years ago people were discussing that because all of them went missing (also, TrashMan made one too).Fixed.
BTW
Detail1 => "turret09n-01-main" should be "turret09b-01-main"
Detail2 => "turret09c-01-main_001" without _001
This is glorious.Nope, this is other Fenris. Glorious was destroyed in Regulus :]
Now I'll have regrets when shooting down these! :P
I think you misunderstood our conversation about the Leviathan. The big issues with the Levi textures are artifacts introduced by DXT compression and some minor issues with reflectance values being somewhat off from the intended values. For what it's worth, fightermedic intended the Leviathan to be painted with some edge wear that exposed bits of metal, he said so himself.Perhaps. I admit I often feel dizzy, and some conclusions of conversations like that sometimes escape my attention. My short-term memory suffer from some issues I don't want to explain. Still my artistic freedom is valid in this case and any other. As Nightmare stated, my ships are "shiny" so they follow my distinctive style of modelling and texturing. MVPs are a healthy mix of Mixael's rough and specular-focused texturing, Oddgrim's pastel, digital-painted vasudans, VA's over-greebling, Sab0o's simplicity and Hades' tricky shapes. My shiny-ness contribute to the family.
In addition, I don't understand your conclusion that the Fenris is so metallic. Volition did not establish any ships as being metallic and it clashes with every other ship in the GTVA that others have worked on.Which ships? Leviathan is the only PBR terran ship in current MVPs. I read Fenris as bare-metallic and in my opinion it fits to this ship. I added gray painting as you requested and I think it works. I will listen to your feedback as I used to listen others but I follow no guidelines when there are none. And there is nobody to give me such.

All the Terran ships look verifiably Terran when lined up together except your Fenris. It's basically grungy gray, brown, green, and blue paint for everything else then the Fenris comes in looking like a mirror.

For Terrans, it's the aforementioned grungy paint, Vasudans have semi-organic shapes with lots of yellows, oranges, and some browns, Shivans are dark, mechanical yet insectoid with red glows.
Why hasn't this been highlighted yet?
If you don't like how mirror-shiny this ship is (which I don't), you guy understand that changing that only takes a couple of minutes and a free paint.net plugin, yes? It's really not hard.
