Eh, I'd rather not actually. The only reason I did the Dragon was because it was going to look like poop next to all the nice models you guys have put out recently. It was a 2 day distraction from the character models...

For some reason, that dragon reminds me of the batmobile. It's a good thing, I think.

(aobake?)

An AO bake on a model that is mostly flat with few protruding parts and a black texture (like the Dragon) would be a waste of time.

THANK. YOU.  That old texture made the Dragon look like a blurry mess.  We can actually see it now!

Razor edges work with this design and nice work with the textures, my only concern is in the bottom picture there is a strange grey square in the texture on the mid to forward hull

This seems to be an intake of some sort, it may just be the angle at which it's viewed.

I say add an AO bake, it would help for sure, the texture seems like its not finished, especially the underside and the guns, and the panels could use some "texture" on them, right now its all very smooth looking.
model wise it wont be much work to add some more polys to the guns, it really sticks out, and the model needs smoothing as well.
with a few more hours of work this model could look really nice

[mjn.mixael]

Sorry, I'm not working over the model. If someone else wants to do so, feel free.

[Nighteyes]

upload it somewhere I don't mind giving it a few hours of love, I can also finish the textures

UPDATE: UVmapping of Aeshma complete; texture pending.  UVmapping of Nephilim in progress; experiencing difficulties.  UVmapping of Scorpion pending.

NOTE: I will be away from my workstation for the entirety of next week.  No progress will be made on completed HTL Shivan strikecraft models.

Is that the Esarai's HTL Dragon?
EDIT: It seems so. I think that guns could use a bit of upgrade (the model, not the texture).

I just want to make note on this, Dragon: for all intensive purposes, six sides on the LOD0 guns are probably more than enough. Chances are you'll never be slow and close enough to a Dragon to be bothered by its hexagonal shape.

Except in external view in "Playing Judas".
I wouldn't care about it if it wasn't for the fact it is a player ship, if only in one mission.

Just FYI in passing a quick PSA: this is not a sentence or phrase in the English language. It's 'for all intents and purposes'.

Looks awesome.

[MatthTheGeek]

This.
Is good.
I guess that's still an understatement.

I voice my support for this.

[Kolgena]

As do I.

Also, slick manticore.

[mjn.mixael]

Turns out I was still sick of rigging characters... So I went for the Seraphim as well.

My second try at texturing a Shivan craft is turning out much better than the first IMO. I just finished working over the hull shades. Next I'll be adding details such as panelling and whatnot.

Again, like the Dragon, I'm not working on the mesh much, if at all. Though there is some funky smoothing going on near the tips of the arms. I'll try to fix that.
