Title: Contest Entry: AC Skye

Belongs to a species known only as the Adversary, no-one ever gave them a good name. Origins unknown, a powerful, very hostile race.

Polys: 828
Program: Blender for modeling, Truespace 4.2 for texturing
Textures: 3 (I used the older fin texture from the B5Mod Sharlin, credits to whoever made them [Bobboau?])

The dark bits are supposed to be smallish reactors of some kind, and all the bits at the end are sublight engines, except the middle one which is a hyperspace engine. Just one gun in the whole ship, I'll make renders of the gun firing sometime  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Very original design. You might want to try a different texture scheme, something unconventional that would suit the model better. Nice work.

Right now its looking kind of Minbari like with the textuers.  Otherwise pretty cool!

I love it! The perspective view reminds me of a Sekhmet, for some reason... hey, it looks cool! Nice job Jabu  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I've got a whole story in my head about these guys. I kind of wanted the textures to be Minbarish, but right now it looks a bit too Minbari  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

It's supposed to be some sort of crystalline alloy or something. The blue fits well, looks very crystal-like. Just used a lot of repeats  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
