Ok... what is the deal with the green? It makes all the front bits look just glued-on, not actually part of the ship.

Now with drone bays!  Still a WIP design to them, I'm split between keeping a pivoting hatch or going to a sliding hatch.

I think sliding would look better with the style of the ship..

well, the pivoting ones might go in the way f the turrets, are more fragile or prone to malfunctions, etc.
go with the sliding ones I guess.

Have a break from continual WIP pics.  I also did one with lighting from the missile drives against the hull, but I preferred the overall darker feel in this one.

Now THAT'S cool. Missile flares are for **** on the right, but the rest is excellent.

Damned if I know why it does that... each of the missiles (including volumetric flares) are exactly the same.  I have to find out.

Coool... I'd just use video post instead of volumetrics, but that's just me.

:D

check the exhasut shape of the missile, volumetric stuff will follow it.
btw, motion blur would be nice there.

Shrike: You sure those are volumetrics? Looks planar to me... Maybe if you added a little thickness to the flares, nein?;)

what does the back of the missle look like it may be a raytracing/shadow issue.

One little qualm about the render. the engine glows are light gray in the center.

Yeah, they share the same drive/engineering components, as well as identical beam weapons - the Drake uses somewhat larger triple turrets, whereas the Cyclone uses twin turrets.

Now, in 99% completed form!  Just a few more faces to detail, plus some crap for the engine face, and it is complete.  That'll be a first for my high-poly models. :p

As I said on ICQ, the "sticks" are a bit odd. They look like big toothpicks coming out of your ship. Make them either turrets or give 'm a more antenna like feeling.

The ones up front look fine though.

Overall a very nice ship :wink:

Cooool. Just add detail to the antennae and to the engine exhaust too. :D

Seriously, if a shot accidentally hits those missile racks, you know where the crew will be heading to.
