Race set 3 looks great, but where is the purple jellybean accelerator canon?

Did you use purple M&M's again?

I am not happy with the RP either, but it is the best I can at this time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif I will most likely change it before the set is released.

Trees in the weapons platform pics? That will be one that will be emulated fo years to come! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

I agree that the Race Portrait is cheesey, but the ships are very nice! The sense of a single unifying design philosophy is strongly felt but it's fairly easy to distinguish the different classes, and they all look 'sleek' or 'graceful' like you want SciFi ships to look. I'd like to see this design set modeled for SE V, along with that 'wedge' shaped imperial set from a few weeks/months ago.

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

Thank you all for the comments.

That imperial wedge set is actualy done. It was completed as a private set for a member of the forum. He gave me all the back story info for the set, but I lost the models when the comp crashed. I might have them on disk, but finding the right disk is the problem.

Race portraits are proving to be most difficult. And this set has the highest polygon count per model of any of my sets. The Dreadnought alone has over 100,000 polygons. Now that is detail. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Rendering the Troop Infantry image took nearly five minutes.

And yes, trees in the weapon platform give it a planet side feel that was lacking IMHO. I hope they are liked.

Unless you happen to be making races like mine, in which case the weapon platforms are underwater. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

David had a good idea for weapon platforms. Floating platforms above the clouds on repulser platforms or long poles. Very inovative idea IYAM.

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

Ok, I have redone the race Portrait. In my humble opinion, it is a hell of a lot better than the old one.

(The best I can do given my limited skill.)

Incredible....Incredible...

The Only downside is the polygon count, that Juggernought would be my ship of choice in Starfury http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif I love this set though.

Re: I\'m Working On A New Ship Set
 

If you can get the count down to a usable level, I will be happy to license the model for your use. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
