It definetely needs better texturing, it comes out looking nice rendered but ingame.... i dunno... maybe someone with better texturing skills have a go at it.. 

[Solatar]

Make it red and call it Shivan. j/k

[Scooby_Doo]

hahahah, I was thinking that all alone when i was building it, it's supposed to be Nephilum.

[Solatar]

It's actually kinda cool, but on a second look it does look a bit like it was modeled with cookie cutters. If you're still doing modifications on the model itself, consider smoothing it.

[NGTM-1R]

I'd almost take it as-is for inclusion in an Ancients fleet...retexturing would be nice, but not 100% necessary.

[Scooby_Doo]

I cut the side's in half and made it look a bit less cookie-cutter.  Unforunately this had a bad effect on the polycount, so I redid the tail section with less polys (one less spear thingie) Also did some work up with the colors and bump mapping, just need to rebake it. Oh and glow/shine maps need to be created. (Really wish we had bump mapping)

[Flipside]

Makes me think of a Boron ship from 'X' oddly enough. Still I agree with you, I know bump mapping is a while away, if at all, but I'm already making normal maps etc just in case

Tis looks nice. Still, you'll definately need a better texturing - at present it looks like a living reptile (dunno if you want it to?) and the colors are boring / strange. Perhaps smaller (more narrow) arms would look better, too. But what do i know. At least not your motives.

?

[Scooby_Doo]

Actually more like a Nephilim version of a decorator crab


and yes the colors are suppose to be creepy eeire greenish-blue..

hmmm i wonder... maybe shadows would show it off better.

[Backslash]

Wow!

Now that just ASKS for creative shinemapping.  Make the texture one color, the shinemap a different color, and you get a sort of iridescence

[Scooby_Doo]

What do I do to do that? Just replace the white-to-black shine map with a color-to-black shine map?

Um, let me get home and i'll check......offhand it was something like an edge-trace in photoshop, gives a really funky effect like the surface is 'oozing'.  I used it a few times doing Nightmare ships.

Reminds the Succubus from Archimedean Dynasty.

[Scooby_Doo]

Well played around with spec mapping and finally got glow mapping included, changed some of the colors around.

Things getting eerier and eerier...

glow maps

the blue on the tail is a mistake, overlapping UVmaps


spec map.


i'm rendering a short light rotating movie overnight, it should hopefully show off the spec better than still images.

Compliments to the Chef   "great work"

[Fineus]

Now make Cthulu!

[Scooby_Doo]

Please do not handle with bare hands...

[Mars]

The flight deck technicians call that thing "the terror" and the "eviscerater"

[Scooby_Doo]

The fangs and tail fins were last minute additions, i'm not sure i like the fangs on this particular model (actually their not suppose to be fangs rather small feeding legs) and the tail could use some spiking.
