Re: GTB Boanerges; texturing.
I agree that the ship is great -- much much better than I imagined the Boanerges could ever look.  I do think the guns look as if the ship were carrying some steel girders in cargo clamps underneath.  How about turning the gun installation from your superlative Artemis on its side and installing them in a fairing under the cockpit?  Since the two ships are of the same generation that would be logical and look good.
If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.

 
Re: GTB Boanerges; texturing.
I had vision, man. As soon as I saw Sab0o was doing what I couldn't and texturing the thing, I knew we were in for a treat.

I've had time to come down off my YAAAAAAAAY FULL OF WIN high to make some constructive criticism. You may have made the texture a bit too faceted, especially on the green vanes either side of the body. It looks like you're exposing the shapes of the polygons, and it kinda rubs me the wrong way. In my opinion, one of the strengths of the model was how it obfuscated the polygons it was made of. This is a RIDICULOUSLY minor nitpick, but there you go.

Same goes for the under-side gun mounts. People generally don't like them, so I have no problem letting them go.

We've all seen Sab0o go from good to supermegatotalawesome in his Artemis and DH models. We will get the same again, I'd bet money on it.

I should fly one of these more often.

Then again, maybe not.  :nervous:

Kidding aside, I really like the work Sab0o. Good job, can't wait to see it finished.

Also I better run for posting jarjar

The green might be a little too green? Other than that, outstanding.

I think the specularity there just brought it out a bit more than intended in the picture.  In combat, since most people fly the Boanerges (or have no choice but to) in the nebula missions--King's Gambit aside--you probably won't notice anyway.

I still want to see more detail in the engine exhausts, and I agree that the green specularity is a little overkill.

Otherwise, this bomber looks amazing.

Re: GTB Boanerges; texturing.
Yes, the green looks nice. I also really like all of the details you're putting in.

Seeing that you changed the engines from brown to grey, I had a look at the Boanerges as it is now, and I realised I'd never noticed that the top and bottom of the engines were grey before!

 
Re: GTB Boanerges; texturing.
really really nice Sab0o. Only complaint is that the underside looks a bit vasudan-ish. would like to see it either in another color, or with other shapes to those 'scales'

I think it's being stretched beyond its regular proportions.

Love the plates underneath. Shows a unified design similar to the underside of the Artemis.

The mesh lines up perfectly with the original. I can show you some wireframes, if you like, before Sab0o's improvements were added.

I think he meant the image itself. Click the image and it shows the model in proportion.

Sorry, I meant the screenshot was stretched, not the model ';..;'
