What you had there is probably close, but the texture needs to be scaled up.

You know the wavy light patterns you see at the bottom of a pool? Just like that, except black, and large enough to see from the camera's POV.

I wasnt able to find shots with a more "close-up" view, sorry.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

But as SJ mentioned, the texture is good, just make it more "dense".

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Dense is a problem. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif The denser I make it, the darker it becomes. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Dark looking ships are some of the hardest to make look good.

Try these on for size and let me know which one you like best.

1 2 3
4 5 6

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

The pattern is too regular on most of those.

patterns the size of #4 look good, but they need to be randomized as in #1, rather than arranged in rows like animal scales.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

6 and 1 are the best in my opinion in that order.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

I like 1 and 3 (top left, top right)

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
 

Although a mid-level grey, the texture on 6 is closest to the actual shadow ship texture and would benefit in-game visibility. 1 is good, but may be too dark.
