:ick Turn up spec, turn down gloss, turn down bump, and turn down the glow.

Heck no. Your's are the best I've seen! I don't think I'll ever be able to match them!

Wow, that's really good. :yes: With Blender, right? Cool. You've got all the right elements there, fantastic job.

The Herc does look 'greasy' though; you should turn down the glossiness. And see if you can get a glow to work on the wireframe and brighten the transition plane a bit.

Galemp, who were you known as? And yes it was done with Blender. And your ani's sorta helped me. I thought that using spot lights wouldn't work well when I started my ss ani project. But they are low work and high looks, though slightly longer rendering times. :nod::yes:

Anyway took the suggestions and made a new ani (except deep's*). Behold SS Herc ani MK.II!

*It is the spec that gives it that greasy look. I can try to fix that but that would require work. :doubt:

I should do something about the green light though....

Interesting choice of lighting scheme for the herc. I think I like. :yes:

GRRRRR.
   Are people putting out crappy Rars or do I have the wrong program? Because EVERY rar that I've downloaded from a link on these forums has given me the "unexpected end of archive" error on WinRar 3.2 and its starting to tick me off. Is there a better program I should get because the problem is probably on my end unless I'm much mistaken.
