Gosh, that's one messy UV. No wonder why it's taking so long.
No, it is not so much "messy" as it is massive. In fact, it is not messy at all. Everything presents and wraps properly with no discernible distortion.

The massiveness and the complexity of the lines and graded recesses and protrusions however is what combines to make this the most complex map to generate a normal map for.

Progress -is- slow, but it -is- happening and the results will be well worth the wait.

I think it says:
Warning GTVA Missile Assemblies Do Not Attack

It says "Warning GTVA Missiles are highly volatile do not attack"

Interesting. I look at it and see;

WARNING
GTVA (Something... MISSILES?)
ASS HIGHLY
VOLATILE
DO NOT ATTACK

 :blah:

The Falcons were on this image, but I don't know where that is.
The Artemis and Herc IIs are from this image.
But that's if neither of those parts have changed.
Nope. Hasn't changed, never got an answer either. >_>

Gosh, that's one messy UV. No wonder why it's taking so long.
It'd be great if you could get rid of "GTVA Colossus" text on the greeble map and replace it with a proper nameplate.
Yeeeep, that's Galemp for you.

Wasn't talking so much about the UVMap but rather the GTVA Colossus not being on a nameplate. Soru to disappoint. :P

Since we are talking about nameplates, I'd like the nameplates of the Colly to be unique. Since the ship is one of a kind, it should have a more unique nameplate, compared to the usual GTVA nameplates. Maybe a more stylized font or frame would look nice (Maybe add the GTVA logo on it too)

I think it'd be cool to have the name repeated in Vasudan script underneath.

How about some fine print around the main beam turrets saying "Caution: Aim Away From Face"?  :lol:

It'd probably look good with some 22" spinner rims too.  And fuzzy dice.

So you have to get close to the turret and start rolling your ship to read all the text, while ignoring that increasingly bright, annoying green glow? Brilliant  :D

Is it done yet :nervous:
To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow. - Metrodorus of Chios
I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta
