It's a bit large though; 1.09 mbs.

Very fine artwork!

Idea: Big Dreadnought emerging from a WP and being ripped apart by the Starbase sitting on top of the Warp Point.
Out of curiosity, how hard/easy is it to come up with new materials in DoGA? I've been working in Bryce 4, which is pretty good at coming up with the basic shapes for things, but creating textures to use in it is a serious pain.

By materials, I assume you mean textures? Basic colour and and model properties are easy to set in doga; although somewhat limited, you can mostly get what you want easily. Textures themselves though, are compared to other 3d apps, are extremely limited; there is no mapping; and there is almost no control over how the texture will be seen on the model.

The textures I used for that picture posted a while ago were actually taken (read: stolen ) from the net and games, and edited with photoshop 6.

I do the same thing myself actually. You can sometimes end up with interesting looking textures from the most mundane of things. I remember making some very odd looking ships by taking a picture of a dog, cropping it down two a squre of fur and using it as a ship texture. Ended up looking very cool & metallic. BTW, you have any preferred places for pulling cool textures for ships, or am I asking the magician to reveal his secrets?

Well, I found one texture that I have come to use repeatedly on google; one other was generously donated by a dear friend of mine, and the others were taken from the game Freespace 2 using the Descent VP manager.

As you can see, I don't have one good reliable source for textures; I just pick them up as I go.
