I think it looks great. I really like the Manticore, it reminds me of Descent the most. Keep up the good work!

Level 12 lava boss on Descent 2?

[Ulala]

Haha yeah that must be it.

So... since most people forgot.. we have a bunch of untextured HTL Shivan fighters sitting in our FSU SVN. Well.. I'm going to change all of that... I fixed up the Dragon and Seraphim a bit more and have started on the Basilisk.

  Looking really good! I really like the weathering on the black. Keep up the good work.

[Rodo]

You did a really good job, I love the red glow work

[Commander Zane]

I don't know what else to say, other than, holy ****.

[BrotherBryon]

Very cool, let me know if you have any trouble with the UV mapping. I can't remember if the Inferno team managed to finish mapping all of them before handing them over to you guys. I've gotten a lot of practice since joining the team and should be able to finish them off for you if we missed a few. Oh if I'm not mistaken I believe that u-shaped indent on the top of what would be a cockpit in a terran fighter is supposed to be green glows as well.

More Basilisk screens.

That's really quite something. Good job!

[Nighteyes]

looks really good, i especially like the attention to the red glows and the shine map, maybe try making the shine map just a little bit brighter? also the normal map is not apparent at all...

[Zacam]

... also the normal map is not apparent at all...

Why, because the surface texture isn't visible from 3 klicks away? Contrary to popular opinion, surface noise doesn't need to be implicit in the normal map and I have yet to see a case where it has been done well.

Tech bits and panel lines, that is all a normal map needs for a ship. You don't make a normal map by having the end result looking like somebody rolled silly putty over the diffuse.

I suppose you'd want something more like this:

[Aardwolf]

Tech bits and panel lines would be nice, Zacam, it's too bad neither your version nor the actual WIP have them. 

AFAICT there isn't even a normal map in the WIP version. Yet.

Edit, because if I don't say it people will treat my post as a "your textures suck / the cables are too thick": Everything but the normal map looks good.

[mjn.mixael]

 

Normal Map

Which works nicely along side it's diffuse and shine.

[Aardwolf]

Mmm.

I guess it's there, but it's very subtle, moreso in the newer screenshots which have that whiter material... but as it is now we can't even see it.

Maybe because the panel lines are darkened, it's overpowering the normal map?

[Nyctaeus]

Looks very sharp and very evil . Nice

[mjn.mixael]

Scorpion

EDIT: As an afterthought.. the 'dirtiness' is a bit heavy.. and the normal map has too much noise on it.

I like it dirty like that, so Shivan! That Scorpion looks wickid btw. It does honor to my favorite Shivan fighter.

Wow, I should pay more attention to this thread, great stuff! That basalisk too... damn. You know it's good when you got me aching for release.

Ditto. Love the Scorpion, and mjn's definitely done it justice!
