These are really cool! Keep it up!

[CAP1331]

First, I want to thank you all for your comments. I'm posting the ones I've done so far but with textures right out sketchup. Do not worry, once I finish them all I will start a serious texturing effort but it's late and I'm tired right now.

VERY nicely done all the way around.

Now we just need a better box to put them in and some testing to get them into the interface.

Though, the one with the Pegasus on it could probably use a touch of detail to the Pegasus itself, it might just be an angle issue though.

[Rodo]

Congrats, you got yourself a new fan! 

[mjn.mixael]

Super job! Couldn't have done a better job myself!

[CommanderDJ]

Coming from mjn.mixael, that is high praise indeed.

[CAP1331]

Wow... I've seen your work and I'm flattered.
Two new ones.

Edit: I've only achieved a Captain rank ingame, so I don't know how your rank is shown past that. I've looked it up in the wiki, but there's nothing there. Can someone post some screenshots?

Allied defense citation is maroon, and seeing it in brown kinda threw me off . Everything else looks pretty awesome.

[CAP1331]

U

Allied defense citation is maroon.

Ups, my bad... I was convinced it was brown, but I'm looking at my reference screenshot and you're right.

[CAP1331]

Well, I finished modelling the medals.
I will redo the box, this one is only temporary.
The SOC unit crest textures were inverted in Sketchup, it's already corrected but I rendered the older file by error, so don't worry.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. IMO the old box is odd, but I'll stick to it, unless someone gives me a better idea.

Work on the materials; the medals don't really look metallic.

[Kolgena]

Both SOC medals look really off. Everything else is great though.

[Fearless Leader]

Those different colored pentagon devices on the cross bars, are for multiple awards right?

[headdie]

Those look to be for decoration, attention to detail kind of thing, the repeat markers go on the ribbon

Those are not the final materials, and not even the best rendering options. That was only a quick snapshot. I will have to work a lot on this however, metallic textures are really difficult.

Well, I think both original SOC medals were just wrong. These ones will get better once they are properly textured. If they don't, I may change them a bit but I'm trying to stick to the original model as close as possible.

These is just a detail I added 'cause there's some triangular thing over there in the original medals. The repeat markers are on the ribbons, I'm posting a little pic to show.

Now, I still don't have an image for rank insignias after captain, but I've found some FS1 insignias somewhere on the web. I'm guessing  didn't change that. I'm attaching an image, please, can anyone comfirm that?

Also, I've redone the box, I can't get any closer to the original one, pics attached.

The beef I have with the SOC medals is that you've taken originally slim medals and stretched them out a ton horizontally. They're altogether new medals now.

(To some degree, the same thing happened to the Wings medal. It almost looks as if you took the original image and stretched it to a 16:9 aspect or something)

If no one else minds, then I don't have any more to say, since the rest of the medals are simply spectacular at this point.

Hm... I couldn't get what the problem was but I'm looking at the images from the wiki and my reference screenshot and they differ. My monitor is 16:9 so that must be the problem. My reference screenshot is stretched . This should have no noticeable effect on the other medals 'cause they are mostly regular polygon stars. I will have to strecht back the Medal of Honor (wich always looked odd to me), the SOC medals and wing and rank insignias. Nevertheless, good call...

Edit: I'm hoping it's better now.

Spectacular!

[Kolgena]

Much better. Wings is perfect. (Thinking of making an olive-branch version as well? It's what the thing turns into when you get >1 Wings medal)

SOC Unit Crest is still kinda squishy, and the honor medal isn't tapered enough, but by and large they resemble the source material much more closely. Well done.

(Oh, and as something to think about much much later down the road, you could consider different options to render the medal board so that it doesn't look stretched regardless of the screen aspect.)

No... I considered it for the mainhalls. It just gets way too complicated way too quickly. There's just too many different aspect ratios out there. I would recommend waiting for an interface rewrite to get widescreen renders. Otherwise we are going to end up with anamorphic stuff all over the place.
