Nice Hiob like the droid would be great for the advanced repair droid maybe something like R2D2 for the basic repair droid.


Enjoy the Choice :)

i'm gonna take issue with the missiles and droid and say that they seem cartoonish. Perhaps add some shader effects and put some seams on the missile cuz it's made of more than one piece of metal and it might look realistic.

not to discourage, it just seems like you forgot some shader textures and a bumb map.

as a side note, missiles in space dont need wings.

missiles

Post by Hiob »

Basicly I haven't painted those missiles. They are from the 0.5 beta.
I have just colored them.
Real starships don't need wings either, the best starships are spheres with engines like a ring around. Less area to hit and super agile.
I'll paint more pics soon.

I agree that realism isn't necessarily the first priority. Stuff has to look cool...its a futuristic space game. Maybe a little shader action but besides that leave 'em like they are :wink:
Thats my 2 cents.

My version of a Dumbfire

Maybe a bit too simple, but better than the old version:

Some of your images are obviously cut-outs. Where are you getting them from? What is the license of the original images?

Your model renders need to be done differently - there's too much perspective warping for starters.

Those last 2 rockets look perfect. I won't change anything. The other pics are old pics from vegastrike.
If you don't like them, don't use them. I don't care bout 1-2 degrees of perspective warping.

It was constructive criticism. This project has high standards, you should aspire to meet them.
