Nice job with the models! When I saw the Nhu for the first time, I thought it looked like a scarab beetle with guns

Nice fighter there, I like the techy exposed look around the engines. It's a shame the texture is so dark in that area though, it hides a lot of that detail. Perhaps some baked self-illumination could help bring it out more?

The miner's looking cool too, though a bit like an oversize Isis, like Darius said.  How does the mining process work? The ship doesn't seem to have any intakes for the raw materials, and its layout doesn't seem to be fit for loading the rocks directly into the container.

I think it's meant to have a robotic arm on the cavity of the front, well that's what I understood from the draft.

[Luis Dias]

Yes I think that's crystal clear.

[Oddgrim]

Right, one more update: Had to redo some of the parts and add some more,  almost done with the model maps just need to tweak the normals and clean up irregularitys. c: (yay)

Did a quick ao render of the new bits on the duat c:
I hope this can fix some of the misconceptions of the real size.

[Luis Dias]

So the only question in my head right now is which one of Oddgrim's model is gonna win the competition. Really divided I am.

[Oddgrim]

More stuffs, added arms for docking with asteroids and started sketching drawings for specific mineral rich models.

edit: added sketches.

So, looking at that, it seems like the Vasudans are busily mining azurite and amethyst.

Hey, those blues and purples in the armour has to come from somewhere There be precious gems in those ships.

I love the rocks.

Moved the arms to the underside, redesigned the cargo dock a bit and the bridge area is about done.. just some more polish and tweaking before I can get started uvmapping. Maybe create the rocks before finishing the arms is a good idea.

[Unknown Target]

These are really excellent works, nice job.

[Oddgrim]

thanks! c:
Anyhow, just started on one of the asteroids, quick and dirty texturejob.

[Oddgrim]

Got started with the second asteroid this morning. c:

Oh for fak's sake, even my rocks are ****tier than yours. Fantastic work, even for mock-ups. (If that's what they still are, texture-wise.)

[Oddgrim]

Cheers, and yes textures on the crystal one is barely half done , while just started on the  ore one.

true, even your rocks are outstanding

There there.

If it makes you feel any better, they make absolutely no geological sense.

There there, atleast when I'm done you can blow it up to your hearts content.
