Title: Science ship: texture opinion.
Post by: Swamp_Thing on January 14, 2005, 05:02:12 am

I´ve started texturing the science ship i posted earlier, but now i need an opinion from the people.
Wich of these 2 texture themes look the best? Note the back is still completelly  untextured, as is several parts a midship and front. But from what is done, wich of these looks the better?

1st, but I think you need a bit of colour variety in either case (I'm guessing you've not finished the rotating section colour scheme, etc?).

First one. The Faustus got some red lighting IIRC, so you might want to consider adding it here and there.

First one...the second looks a little borg with the green lights ^_^

1st one, but the second is cool looking too.

second one looks sinister, so save it for a reskin for when your going against some evile supertechy faction.

on both of them the hull plateing seems could be made more defined

second one looks better imho but look also more military. I'd use the first one with the wings of the second.
But brighter shots would help in giving an opinion

After hard thinking.. Definitely the first one!  The lights are much better.

First for the rotating section, 2nd for the rest. And put some glows on the Solar panels ;)

Post by: Swamp_Thing on January 15, 2005, 03:11:27 am

Ok, i´ve used features from both schemes. I´m still looking for a real solar panel texture for the panels, but the rest is pretty much done, with the exception of the engines.
How does this look?
Oh, i also gonna need a name for it, but i can´t think of anything... Any ideas? The winner gets to name this little beauty!
:p

As for a name, how about the GTSc Odyssey class?

Well, the figur of "Faustus" in "Dr Faustus" was basically I severely flawed scientist, who gave his soul to Lucifer ;7 in exchange for power and wisdom.

Sticking to that scheme, does anybody know some other examples in literature?

Frankenstein and Moreau spring to mind.

GTSc Frankenstein. Weird. GTSc Jekyll, anyone? ;)

Edit : did I mention that the latest version looks plain great?

change the red to blue or the blue to red, all three primary colors don't look good together

GTSc Galileo

Hmm, what about GTSc Daedalus? Fits that "tragic scientist" scheme, again. Though I'm not sure if that name's been used.

Those solar panels are gonna look sooo sweet with env-mapping.

Though I wouldn't consider that a hindrance.

Heisenberg is a good one, too.
