Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

I've been taking a closer look at some of your newer ships Atrocities and while I like them, the pixelated look from Doga was making me bonkers - so I did a little editing.

I took one of your BoP images and I applied a blur to it using Photoshop. I also took the burn tool to reduce the glare spots. Here are the results:

The top image is the touched up one. I think it looks pretty good and it only took about 20sec to do it. What do you guys think?

the top one looks more realistic, but i liked the shiny parts - and not becuase i'm being in character, either.

The shiney parts look cheesy. Ships should not be shiney unless they are covered in solar panels or very highly polished, which Klingon and Romulan ships are most likely not.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The real problem is that it detracts from Atrocities fine models. He has done an excellent job of manipulating the components in Doga to put together the ships that he has.

Re: STM "Final v1.7.5" Discussion
 

Indeed he has! I think the shineyness just comes from how Doga renders models...

The image is a little dark for me as well.

Here are some new concept ships. The first 3 are basically the same ship are my concept for a baseship.

The Last two are concepts for Carriers
