Well I'm aiming for as-non-human as possible. 

Btw is is possible to have blobs/glowing effects as missiles?  I don't want them to have human like missiles at all.

Yes.. well... sort of glowing. Either with invisible model with glowpoints, transparent 3d model, or scripted effects. Add particle spew and trail and there you have it.

EDIT: Also well placed and directed (minimum of 4) thruster glowpoints with invisible model

Yay, Zerg-Fleet !!!!!!!!

[Scooby_Doo]

Cap sized ships are much harder to figure out...

WIP

[Colonol Dekker]

Think Zerg + Nephilim with a little Squid and you'll go far with this.

[CaptJosh]

Reminds me of a Vorlon ship, actually...

[Trivial Psychic]

I agree.  It's very Vorlon.

[AqueousShadow]

Need....Starcon...ships...

good, organic stuff

[Scooby_Doo]

Speaking of Zoidberg... just watched Jurassic Bark, OMG thats got to be one the saddest endings I've seen in a long time... The poor dog 

[Colonol Dekker]

I cant watch that episode, It gets me all 

Starcom ships you say?

QUITE F****G TRUE !

Oh how I dread when the time comes to cut these models up to merge the parts together...A billion little tiny nearly impossible to see polygons LOL.

[Colonol Dekker]

Whats that you say?  I normally just merge them (the little icon with two intersecting balls) is that wrong 
I've never had a bad pof conversion yet
I may well post them one day

(YArrr for the sake of YARR)

[Scooby_Doo]

Normally for most of my ships i don't even merge them, just leave them as seperate subobjects. However, the connection between the two parts needs to be smooth (and smooth in smoothing maps too)

[Scooby_Doo]

[Dark Hunter]

Very cool. 


I'd like to see some of these in action in FS. 

[Scooby_Doo]

Spikers done, for lack of a good name


Except for the hud I see   
Eeck also notice bloodfang's got way too many missiles 32 LOL  that should be 6 or 8 LOL (fixed)

[Scooby_Doo]

[Aardwolf]

What program is this done with?

[Scooby_Doo]

Max 7

[Scooby_Doo]

Ugh I forgot how I created that texture now.  I know it uses the stained glass filter in photoshop and some bumpmapping in Max but i can't remember how to get that rough surface look. 

Edit: Geez just after posting this i found it, murphys law LOL

in photoshop take two good colors (blue/green example) and create a cloud with it (filter->render->clouds)
in Max Assign a bumpmap and use Celluar with Chips characteristics.
