OT: How does it look?
 

I've started making some components for a mod I may or may not ever make ( http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif ), but I'm not sure if they're "good enough" to submit to the image mod. I'd like a few opinions that are slightly less biased than my own! Please vote, and leave comments if you so desire. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif Thanks!

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

Not bad at all. The green/yellow texture looks a little odd in the larger picture, but it gets smooted out in the 128x128 image so it doesn't really matter there.

What is it? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

When I see this I cannot help but go... Ohhhhhhhhhhh wow!

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

It was originally intended to be an engine, but I'm really not sure what it is yet http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif Any suggestions?

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

It would be very hard to make a ship set out of it, but you could give it a try.

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif Thanks AT!

You know, I hadn't thought of making a shipset out of it, but it is a possibility...though as you say, it would be quite difficult.

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

Looks great! Maybe that could be a large colony ship for an organic race. It looks biological...

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

Plague bomb. Them blue things look infectious.

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

How is this off-topic? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

It looks like an Organic missile or bomb.

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

Took the words right out of my mouth!!!

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

Organic Stellar Manipulation Component! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

It's an organic cattleprod!

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

Oooh... shiney!

Organic propulsious?

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

I don't see why it would be difficult to make a shipset out of it (aside from the initial concept and construction, obviously).

By varying the number/length of the stalks and bubble clusters, it could be easy to tell the size/function of a ship within the shipset.

Good job.

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

Plague bomb. Definitly a plague bomb.

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

Hmmm, good point http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

As for function, thus far we have:

- Organic Missile/Bomb
- Organic Colony Ship
- Plague Bomb (2)
- Organic Stellar Manip. Component
- Organic Cattleprod (don't think it'll end up being this http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif )
- Organic Propulsion

Right now I'm not sure what it'll end up being, but most likely it will serve as some sort of component, not the basis for a shipset. Though it's likely I'll eventually get around to making a similarly designed shipset too, when I feel like making another shipset. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Thank you everyone who's voted and commented so far, I'm happy you guys like it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

Missile imho.

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

Give it a couple of years, and my kid could probably do better. J/K. I like it very much, and I wish I had the time, the know-how and the programs to create something like that. Good job.

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

It doesn't require much know-how, just a little bit. The programs, that can be difficult, depending on where you get them from.

The biggest thing it requires is time. Lots and LOTS of time. For example, the pic in this thread probably took roughly an hour and a half to get right http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

I'm happy you like it, it's always nice to have people like what I do http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

A Bridge!

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

I think you need to enhance the lighting in your renders, or the smaller images will be far too dark.

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

Yes more light would help the smaller images.

Nice organic bridge!

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

A bit more light would be awsome, very nice bridge set up though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Great looking.

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

Good, but it does need better lighting.

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

That bridge. Hmmm... how very Trekian of you...

TT

I like the component, to me it looks like an organic engine.

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

Would it really be any better to have the consoles spit acid instead of sparks into your face when the ship takes a minor hit? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: OT: How does it look?
 

Good point about the lighting everyone, I think I'll mess around with it and see if I can brighten it up somewhat. Constructive criticism = http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif Thanks!
