Are you using an actual glass texture in Max for that cockpit, because I think the refraction is making it hard to make out the details?

[maje]

I think that the specularity needs to be toned down.  I don't ever remember the TIE viewports really having much of a wide highlight.  Then again, maybe its the light source in relation to the front of the TIE.

The reason for that was pointed out on IRC earlier.  The studio models had no glass at all, which is why it was so easy to see in.  We could do the same, but I'd rather see some glare on my target's windshield when I drop in from the sun to finish him off.

Can I have a TIE fighter?

They had an ultra-advanced anti-glare Transparisteel coating.

but seriously, we can tone down the spec effect on them so it's not quite as shiny.

The glare is intentional, the cockpit is very low detail and low poly, with a low res texture.  It's meant mainly to sit around and provide some depth to the fighter, not be a detailed close up one.  Besides, I like it like that.

So, when's the TIE Phantom coming? I can't wait to see the rest of the TIE series.

I want to see the TIE-Droid and Defender.

Couple updated renders of all 4 TIEs, you can find them in my signature (too lazy to post them and there really isn't TOO much difference)

The panels on the fighter look weird.

That's what light does when it hits a finely rubbed surface at certain angles
