Whoa. Very nice. I like those cables in particular. They tie in nicely with the feel of the model without being too conspicuous. Everything looks good.

[Rga_Noris]

Thanks. MjnMixael did the diffuse for the cables, I only added the glow. He rocks.

Also it just occured to me that people might not notice that, on the account of a new page starting, I posted some new shots... last post on page 10.

I like the cables, they feel Ravana-y.

[Commander Zane]

Holy ****! It looks great.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude........  Awesome.   It's about 50x better than the original.

Fixed that for you.

Something just feels funny about the glows, IMHO. Maybe it's just because I don't have the model and I can't actually turn it and really look at it, but it seems like the glows come out of nowhere in the ribs at the front. It just seems like the light should behave differently, which is why I'm thinking that it's just because I can't really play with the model to see where the glowlight comes from.

Hmm? That looks like light flood coming from those pipes...

[Mobius]

Fantastic.

[Col. Fishguts]

Whoa, that thing looks like something straight out of a nightmare.... as it should

[NeoKnight]

That...is awesome.

[Nighteyes]

as usually I don't really like to comment stuff like "thats awesome", here I'll make an exception, I really like they way it was textured, probably my favorite shivan texture so far

[TwentyPercentCooler]

This is just turning out to be too awesome for words. High octane nightmare fuel - which is kinda spot-on for the Shivans.

[Nighteyes]

oh and just a thought, you feel like generating some new shivan tilemaps from the base of this texture? I know the direction if to move to UV mapped ships, but there are plenty of models that could use an update to the shivan tile maps... 

[BlasterNT]

ehehe, mjn and pipes

Awesome model, it truly looks scary.

Yeah.. that wouldn't be easy and probably won't happen unless Rga is feeling generous. And if any tile mapped ships in FSU need an update, they'll get a full UV map if I have anything to say about it.

I say this ship looks scarier then the borg! Awesome job

The shine is very uniform over the whole surface, and a tad too much. I thing it would look more interesting if certain panels or areas had different levels to the shine, with the overall effect being subdued.

Try comparing the earlier, non-glow and non-shine, images  to your current version. You'll notice that the subdued shine gives it a tougher, less plastic look. Like it was hewn from stone.

[mjn.mixael]

Perhaps you should just wait until the shine maps are complete and not batch created for the sake of just having a working shine-map?
