Power of Coalition. For the website. Took about eight hours straight to get the flagship in back alone to look good. I'm feeling very tired now. I think I'll go lie down for a few days.

Let there be light!
-
I can't see anything ( yet i have a light right behind me :( )

Nearly the entire image is 25-point gray, exactly. I just tested it in Photoshop. If you can't see anything higher than about 18, particularly on a black background, your monitor is waay too low. You all probably turned it down so you can play games, which require a lower brightness level. If you wanna do renders, you should really turn it back up...
-
For those of you who've dome something odd to your monitors, here's a washed-out version. You can't see ****, and the things I highlighted are all now the same color as everything else. Which is why I had the light at the normal brightness level, which people use for completely bright, sunlit pictures as well, in the first place.

well, I'm at work, so the screen is not set up for games ( :p ), and I still can't see much, but what I can see actually seems to look quite good, in fact. What about a pic of the capship on a white BG and a good strong omni light? :)

My shiny new Coalition cruiser. I don't particularly like the way it came out, but I can't fix what I would like to, I tried...

It needs engines.
-
well, I like, it's your best model yet, by far :) I would just make the bridge with multiple parts, not just one, but it's just about tastes really.
-
Well, the upper level is nearly all fusion reactor and enormous laser cannon, so it needs to be kinda dense...
Best ship you've seen so far, you mean.;)
-
I like it... :yes:
The first picture is too dark even if I block the sunlight coming from windows, and I'm not going to mess with monitor settings now... :)

ROFL!!! :lol:

well, what I see is ok - your average (mostly untexturised) standard
-
Plastic armour hurts my retina:cool:
-
Plasteel, plasteel. We're SF modders.:D
That, and getting the highlights up to metal levels just makes everything go to hell for the render...
-
Very original design i might add...
It looks liek a carrier but it has some form of super gun? also those turrets and the ships design is it wedge designed so all the turrets can shoot directly forward without blowing the turret infront skyhigh???
-
No superweapon, unless you count the turrets, which are pretty vicious beam cannons. And no carriers in the IC, either. I don't know how they get fighters around, 'cos none of the ships I made for 'em have fighterbays. Anyway, yes, I made it to be able to focus its weaponry forward and blow away pretty much anything.
Based it all on this image. Artistic license and all that.:D
