Title: IMG: old and new on patrol

Right the prototype (left) and the finished production Fighter/Bomber on patrol (for some reason :p ) .

The next mesh I texture I'm not gonna go over the top with hull 'decorations' :o.

edit
just noticed the lack of engine glows. Not that I really care, though.

edit again: the reason the right ship is so much brighter then the other has to do with the fact that I enabled self-illumination on that one without a mask (the right one has no self-illumination). I also intend to change the colour to a more red-ish colour.

i like the almost cartoonish quality to the texture on the hulls. It looks like a painted cel. Very groovy.

Ryx - you just cracked the biggest problem of my life!

Try making a copy of the hull texture, putting a little bit of noise around the edges and making them displacement maps.

It should come out looking distinctly shivan then :)

(might have to convert it to NURBS though to get MAX to do it...or failing that render it with PRman)

hmm displacement map... that would be a black background with white noise in this case, right?

Around the red bits or the black bits?

I'd raise the black ridges around the glowy red bits (which means the ridges in the displacement map would be lighter)

Purty colors. :D  Change the overall design, make the red into blue, and we've got perfect TSI fighters. ;)

BTW, Slipstream, would you please fix that sig.  HTML code doesn't work here.

I wouldn't count on that. I might/probably-will revisit this tex map at some point, when my skills has improved. :wink: For time being, It'll stay that way. :nod:
