I'm with Betrayal - desatch those green bits. Actually, you might want to look at desatching large chuks of the rear end  - a lot of the "Cartoony" look FSW is talking about is probably the result of contrasting high intensity colours in close proximity.

That said, it's already looking good, and given the WiP pics you posted of the Newet way back when, I know you've got the texturing chops to do Vasudans justice. Looking forward to more pics.

I think the green parts should be a bit toned down. Less saturated then they are now.

Agree, for now I have removed it as the contrast is too jarring to the eye.

Wow, this is looking great. The wingtips appear a little blunt, and may look better pointed. The textures at the back may be a little 'cartoony', but I realise you're not finished.

cheers!
I work very sporadic when it come to texturing A bit everywhere, I tried out with the pointed wings and it looks better.

Thanks, the newet itself is buried somewhere in my external hard drive collecting dust.
The cartoony look is indeed because of the overly green armour part and it overall looks better now. ( the over plating on the back still looks a bit odd.)

I heard u leik turrets and engines ( work in progress )

[Dragon]

Much better.

[zoidburger]

Dat ass. Seriously very good. I can't wait to see this with a shine map   

Semi-constructive criticism: The tile map looks a little stretched at the apex of the cabin. The tiles also look a bit small and 'crushed'. I prefer nice big armour plates, me. These ones are going to coalesce into a sandy blur in the middle distance, particularly on the wings.

[The Dagger]

Wow... I love your texturing style. 
I'll try to imitate it for my Ptah. I hope the final product resembles yours.
Imitation is the best compliment I can give you.

Thanks for feedback.
Did toy with the idea, but due to the horrid resolution (retail texture is very pixelated) I had to make new ones , which is more fun anyways

thanks! , Your path is a lovely model and I wish you good luck on texturing it c:

Another Render.
Did a lot of texture redesign... well I'm feeling a bit too lazy to explain what I did so heres a image. c:

If I didn't know better, I woulda thought that the underside turrets were wheels.

[Rodo]

excellent.

[Cyborg17]

I do like the large plate version a lot more. Excellent work. 

[bkd86]

The large panels do look better, but I would add back some of the color variation, wear and tear etc. I looks flat atm. Very nice model.

[Alan Bolte]

I altered your wip shot 'cause I wondered what it would look like with the lighter center. Decided to share.


EDIT: Lvlshot plz.
Sorry Mjn, forgot about the people with smaller screens. That image is smaller that what lvlshot displays for me.

[Kolgena]

Underside turrets look a bit too big (so too easy to shoot/damage), but it could just be me. The curvy barrels also don't make sense to me.

Otherwise, a very good looking model.

[MatthTheGeek]

The curvy barrels also don't make sense to me.

SENSE ? IN MAH FREESPACE ?

DO NOT WANT.

[zoidburger]

Thanks for feedback.

You're very welcome.

Did a lot of texture redesign...

No kidding! It's looking badass. Your texture work on the cabin and tech details is astonishing, it actually reminds me of Geiger's artwork. The armour plating looks a bit plain by comparison (though I do like the chunky new plates ). All in all, it's impressive, and with normal and shine maps, it's going to [sunglasses] shine [\sunglasses].

Couldn't resist. Please don't hurt me!

On the flatness I agree, I'll play around with adding a third layer with some colour variation in the end stages. (nitpick stage!)

It was a bit dark on that area on the render, showing off a side shot with possible glow spots, but thanks for the idea.

I tend to agree on the size of it so I reduzed the general size, but the curvy turret stays! ( I can draw up a diagram on how it could theoretically function c:)

The curvy barrels also don't make sense to me.

I second this!

I was a huge fan of Gigers work when younger but now, a bit less but still enjoy his work.  c: I dread when starting with normal mapping , I'm not very good at it 

Turret redesign, added more swirls to the curves. (turret textures need more work) , worked on the underside mostly and fixing errors in the mechanical parts of ship, aaand now starts the nitpicking stage.

[Dragon]

The MP turrets look odd, but otherwise, great model.

[Rampage]

Love the new Mentu; not sure about the curves barrels on multipart turrets.

[bkd86]

If you don't own ndo2 you should, will make your life a lot easier. Creating very clean normal maps with it is very easy with a little practice.

[Alan Bolte]

Looking pretty deadly. 

If we're in the nitpicking stage though, I'd say that that center seam needs work. Were i texturing I think I'd reduce the mirroring slightly to avoid having the seam run perfectly through the center like that, but then again I don't texture.

[Black Wolf]

It's gorgeous texturing, but if I could suggest two small colour changes - the main scale texture should probabyl have a little bit more green in it, like the original mentu texture, and that sky blue strip could probably be changed to one of the more traditional Vasudan glowy colours - more of a royal blue, or yellow.

But I have to reiterate - truly, truly amazing work here. I really hope you take another look at that Newet texture when you're done with this - a few more Vasudan models of this calibre would be incredibly welcome.
