That would be contradicting canon quite heavily :-/ Most differences is in the inside, the outside should look more or less the same.

We should make all upgrades as close as we can to the vanilla ships.

True. To a point. The basic geometry (and ESPECIALLY the dimensions) should match as closely as possible.

Within those constraints (and an attempt to maintain immediate (if upgraded) means to identify the ship in question), I think one should feel free to explore avenues. Elements from concept art (as a canon source) is good.

But saying "Make it Vanilla, only Better" is sort of a mixed bag if it has to end-result look JUST like the Vanilla.

Personally I think the cockpit glass is too round atm... should be narrower, more pointed.  I like that about the original Artemis, but the rest of your model is flippin' sexy. 

Keep up the good work!

It's already UV'd and mostly textured, so I'm not sure if it's possible to consider such a change at this point. At least, bubble glass will result in less artifacts than pointy glass in TrackIR view, I imagine.

Bubble glass is fine, IMHO.  It's an exercise of creativity that is welcomed on this mesh.

Aah, my shine map method is crap, I've just realised. Will fix and post some more after I eat something.

EDIT:



Aye, that's a bit better.

Still looks like laminated paper mache, but at this point, I don't care if it does. I'll write it off as some new gen ablative armor or something. I want this in-game, like, now.

One minor gripe: Plates on the neck/head look reptilian, and the belly is very turtle-like.

Actually, another thing that you might want to consider: This Artemis (in its current state) will be the only HTL fighter so far that has no glow maps (except in the cockpit). It'll probably look fine without them, but in-game, it can be useful to stick something on them so that they're not invisible when lighting is low. Of course, I have no idea if that's already planned or what, but just judging by the diffuse, I'm not seeing spots that could have something mapped to -glow.

Snail, Ravenholme, Thanks.

Kolgena, thanks. :P You can stop being so picky now. While your input is good, I think this is a little much.

Like I said, minor gripe :P I could care less if you don't change those things.

I'm really digging that detail work on the main body.  The bottom does kind of look like a turtle, but it's like a radical Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, so it's all good. :yes:
