From that ventral shot, it looks strikingly similar to a WhiteStar... probably the trailing fin-type-things from the engine pods and aft sections.  The dorsal engine pod throws off the similarities though.

I'll also try texturing this, I've never textured anything like this before, but I have some free time on my hands and I feel like giving this a try

Hmmm not so sure on the big red areas, might be better off to have them as dark grey, and only have red glows/red lines (the smaller regions).

Not bad... not bad at all...

I don't like the circled parts as glowing red. Maybe they could be a lighter gray armor or something?


Also the indent around the front and pipes along the neck should have a glowing red texture.

But yeah, this is ace.

I hope whoever converts it keeps it a gunship, we really don't have enough of those, and that it's publicly released (which it very probably will).

I assume that the untextured little white bits are turrets?

They are, I think. I remember Axem telling me they were on IRC.

yes, model will be publicaly available
yes, the white things are turrets
axem: :( I quite like those red glows! ill try with armor plating, but if it won't looks as good I'm switching back to red glows :P

Well when I was modelling it, I thought those red areas to be cascading layers of armor.

To me it just doesn't feel right to have those large parts be glowing. Shivan glowing areas tend to be inset or as thiner stripes along a model.

how can you possibly know that, when the size, speed and weapons arn't even finalised yet?
anyway, I "think" the textures are ready, no spec, glow or normal maps yet(thats why the red glow parts look a bit strange), its all using the same texture, so that would be the next things to do, any final feedback? :D

Awesome. Not sure I like the dull red around the "head" and pod insets though. It might look better when its a glow map.
