Very nice Ashrak. :)

In the future, man will fly to the stars in giant pewter starships!

Its a nice pic, but that close, maybe adding more modelled detail is in order?

It looks nice, but those game-sized textures are a bane for any close-up render. :)

the orion does look a bit wierd, the texture looks a bit like it's very randonly bumped and dented, like a giant riot gun worked it over.

well, a beam would leave a scorchmark, and a maxim would leave a rather large hole.

so, not a good excuse, IMO. and it does look like it's givewrapped or something.

I think that if you're going to go with the Freespace gameplay, dents make things all the more realistic.  Just look at how often AI pilots run in to each other, and they are just in little fighters.  Imagine what happens when they try to do a flyby past a capship.

I asked this a few weeks ago, turns out he never finished it.  What he did finish is awe inspiring tho.

Also you can find the model, as-is, here.

There's a .3ds and a MAX-script file. MAX users should probably try the .ms file instead.
