Re: Previews from the impatient
I know this thread is for mods we're impatient about, but I'm impatient about something else.

Re: Previews from the impatient
I made this sprite, then realized that my reference caused me to use about...
300 lines too many? And I accidently made it upside down, to top it all off.

Now in the process of completely redrawing it so it doesn't have those lines.
So, maybe, in, ah, 20 years?; this thing will be ready to download.
Anyone who can tell me what it is wins nothing.

Federation Fleet Cruiser 2 attempt... how does it look so far?
Edit: shading not final as well as other features

Re: Previews from the impatient
Much more unique than my hackjob of the Fed A. Looks good so far, but still, I dunno. Feels like it's missing something to push it over the top and make it unique. Feels a little... flat? In some areas (probably because the shading is not done) but I feel like the conning tower/bridge needs to be slightly wider. Perhaps the nose needs to be sharper.R4V3-0N wrote: Federation Fleet Cruiser 2 attempt... how does it look so far?

Need a bit of help with this one. Didn't quite come out how I'd like - just looking for a way to make it look more like it should be in FTL. Didn't finish the shading/lighting yet. It's pretty much all smooth surfaces.
Here's another variant, drowned in gradient and dodge/burn.

Re: Previews from the impatient
Both of those are still better than my hackjob attempt at shading. The last ship I tried custom shading on was so complex, I didn't know how it looked in 3D, so I couldn't do self-cast shadows and stuff--in the end I just gave up, slapped a gradient layer on, and called it a day, lol

Did a little bit of work with shadows, and now I'm just going to call it done. At least it's better than the Normandy.NarnKar wrote:Both of those are still better than my hackjob attempt at shading.

I do have four oddball weapons that it'll use, and I'm still handing out Reddit Silver for the first person to name what ship I made.
One thing that always bugged me: Your Wanderlust cruiser is asymmetrical.

I really like how this one came out. This one should be a bit more obvious than the last, and it's still from the same thing...

Re: Previews from the impatient
looks like we've transitioned from weapons back to ships, eh? And not just ships, but fantastic looking ships in high quantities as well. Maybe I should start doing some work on the Scrin ship...

Re: Previews from the impatient
Heh, I should make a Type B of my Scrin Carrier. Make it automated and put CABAL's face on it...

Into a Faceship
Or have someone do it for me because I can't make ships from scratch.
