Re: Texture comparison
Thanks, Fyron, for the explanation. Must be IE's allowances. I'll try to remember that in the future.
For "old time sake", I'll mention a pet peeve of mine (well, that's because I'm old and remember these things):
All the time at work (working in IT), I hear people say "forward slash" and "back slash". Before computers came about, there was only the "slash". When computers (and paths) became an everyday word, people felt the need to call a slash a "forward slash". I've always maintained that there is a "slash" and a "back slash". Of course, this reference is not half as bad as this one (that I hear all the time!): a "forward backslash"   .

Re: Texture comparison
Now, the purple in that image looks good... it was the combination of dark grey and darker purple, with huge massive parts purple and huge parts grey, that was bad...  |

Re: Texture comparison
Just a comment...
I have LOTS of respect for people who will go through all the trouble for all the componets to make a shipset and "give" it away.
Considering that, I hesitate to make comments because I'm too lazy myself to do stuff like that. On the other hand, I don't want to let people who are doing that kind of work think than hardly anyone is paying attention, so I try to give my opinion when I "feel" something.

"Shiney"?
LOL...you sound almost like a Firefly fan. I hopped on this because I will be doing the following at Dragon*Con this year:
(1) This weekend, meeting to help build a Firefly float for the parade at Dragon*Con;
(2) Manning the Firefly booth to promote the show on Sunday (of the Con);
(3) Donated $50 for printed materials for the "effort";
(4) Wifey and I spent over $250 for her to dress like Zoe and be in the parade.
There is a small select group headed by a guy here in Atlanta and a lady from Florida helping make "Firefly" become a part of Dragon*Con for years to come. So far, if you are familiar with the short-lived series, Nathan Fillian (Mal), Kaylie (Jewel Staite), and Jayne (Adam Baldwin) are coming and our group hopes to have a close and personal meeting with them (SO KEWL!). But, who knows.
Anyway, I will be sure to post pics of D*C like I did Last year.

Re: Texture comparison
I've been using 'shiney' for pictures I like since about...uh...somewhere around the first pictures I commented on here. Firefly has nothing to do with it.
Um. Didn't mean to sound abrubt.

Re: Texture comparison
Yes, well, he did not painstakingly create a new ship. The model was just a base that TC made in 3 minutes to put the textures on...

I was just taking in general about people who design shipsets. Not sure if TC is looking to do that but it seemed like an appropriate spot to mark my appreciation for those people who DO spend the time to make a shipset.
