Kingdom of Leon Shipset under construction
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have been very busy working this week making new Ship sets for my upcoming mod and this is a ship from the Star Kngdom of Leon (pronounced Leo-an).

This is a ship I just sort of threw together and I haven't decided what size it should be yet, any sugjestions/comments/tips would be accepted http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

The ships are fine but you might want to keep a consistent angle for all the ship portraits. An oblique angle works best for ships that are somewhat longer than they are wide. You may also want to render at a high resolution and use a program like Adobe's photoshop to resize, it tends to due a better job.

Well I could have rendered at a higher qaulity but last time I did that it took LOTS of time to load on people and they suggested I make them lower quality while posting such a large pic.

As for the angle thing I'll work on that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Any ideas on what size ship this should be?

My suggestion was more for the actual in-game ship portaits (based on what I saw of the your other finished set) than WIPs.

Odd those are BMPs and rendered from Doga, what about them is low quality? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

When you render with the DOGA engine at a small size like 128x128 - the image looks rough (jagged edges etc) as opposed to when you render it larger and re-size it using Photoshop (or similar program) which does a nice job of making the image look crisp.

I like it. Could use a good texture, but other than that...Maybe a couple more guns on the side?

What's that glowey thing in the middle?

Looks good. The size might a cruiser or perhaps a battle cruiser? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Or it is most likely that he left the anti-alias setting at 0...
