Post by: Col. Fishguts on February 24, 2008, 04:17:45 pm: Very cool Galemp, I would also suggest to make the transition from the solid parts to the naked framework "fuzzy". Maybe something like the Khar-Selim derelict from Homeworld: http://homeworld.wikia.com/wiki/Khar-Selim (http://homeworld.wikia.com/wiki/Khar-Selim)

This might be a good place to use textures that are partially transparent.
