That's a very nice ship set, Andres. The detailed wavy texture is really unique and beautiful, and the race picture is perfect for the ship set.

Excellent shipset. I truely cannot wait until it is completed. I will use it in my PBW games after that. Evil looking race portrait too, I like it!

If not, I'm sure a suitable replacement could be modelled/ drawn by Andres or someone else here.

Theoretically it can be exported as .X
Face count is not that high considering that models consist of many curved surfaces, and may be reduced with a little work.
And I'm supposed to be able to export them with .x format or maybe convert .3ds files into .x
But I don't even have the SF demo or any other program that uses these format to test them.

Abut the copyright, I don't think it will be a problem as long as I don't try to sell it. Well known artists such as H.R. Giger consider these knid of fan work as free publicity.
And for SE5, I don't know what kind of race portraits it will use, but my guess is that they will also be 3d models and not 2D pre-rendered pictures, so a new one will have to be modeled anyway.

BTW I keep working on the shipset and just finished the bases, but I'm too lazy to upload and post another preview.

Nice looking set of ships. And that picture. I can sympathize with Atrocities. It looks surprisingly like my wife when she loses her temper, and the longer we've been married, the shorter time between outbursts .

I kind of doubt SE5 will use 3d race portraits. Faces are the most difficult aspect to render, you'd get little gain for a LOT of effort.

If you can send them to me in .x or .3ds I can see how they look in Starfury.
