I think specular highlights will take care of the light tones. This plane's color is pretty uniform.

I'll work on site specific weathering once I get the UV's in place.

Some of the grayer areas still needs something (like weathering).
Seems to bland.

Maybe some scorch marks around the air intakes and engine exhausts?

[Omniscaper]

I haven't touched the aferburners yet.

It looks like it needs fresh coat of paint

Try coloring the panels each a slightly different shade, to show how panels from different aircraft may have been used?

Like so?

no omni, less gay than that.

there needs to be a subtle difference. maybe not even in color, but in light/dark.

[Omniscaper]

Oh.... bummer

[KappaWing]

Maybe you can save that for some future disco mod.

Disco Stu doesn't advertise!

Try to make the cut-offs between the plates harder.

I think the key aethetic with this ship is that its supposed to have a sort of armored look to it.  The general feel on the wings particularly is that its layered plating one on the other...try and use some shadowing somehow to play that out a bit is probably a good idea.

You guys achieved some near photoperfect results with the Viper Mark II so I'm sure you can do just as well on this one.  Love the VII so far!!

[Bobboau]

what you did with coloring the plates, take that color layer and reduce the saturation to about 20-30%

[Ace]

Make the area between hull plates and the wear pattern more like the texture on Damocles' Viper IV.

[Omniscaper]

Ah... DamoclesX... the MASTER!!!....  Where is that bloke!!! If he were still doing BSG stuff I wouldn't have to be here!!!

[Taristin]

Some day I'll learn to do that..... some day...

[Omniscaper]

Well considering that those screen shots are RENDERS... I too can play that game...





Touche!!! DamoclesX!!! Get over here and finish what you've started!!! I'm tired!!! I need to PLAY freesapce games again and not develope!!

[Taristin]

Umm... If you can do that... why not just Bake the ship?! (press 0 on the keyboard. Render to texture! )

[Grug]

lol.

Suggestion: Perhaps a render of the underside and rear of the ship?

[Omniscaper]

Take that *****!!! (to DamoclesX) Get back here and BEAT ME!!!


I've still yet to master baking techniques.... Will make attempts.. I still need the photoshop exercise... I'm gonna gradaute soon, so I need to flex the muscles.
