MMMMmmmmmmm, SHEKSHAY! ;7

The thing I like best about this pic is that the ships aren't travelling horizontally with respect to the camera. Not enough non horizontal motion in space renders these days. :)

Of course, this makes me realize that we need a few high-poly versions of the 158th ships for use in renders.

Well, I wouldn't go quite that far, not for a while at least.  Exposition was supposed to be just a demo, it still is... sorta.  ;)

EDIT: BMP and JPG versions of this render are available on the website at various resolutions :D

No, I'm serious Narol. We should have at least one or two high poly models for renders. I'm not talking insane, over the top stuff like my Mjolnir. I mean something up around 10K polys, so that the segmentation disappears and some of the finer details, like the Acheron's missile pods or the interiors of a thrust nozzle, could be seen. Maybe some reasonably detailed cockpits too.

We could probably use them in cutscenes at some point. ;7

true, get on aim and we'll discuss the todo list for whats left on E and what we need high res stuff for.
