Its the new metalic texture. Its reflection coupled with the new glow effects give it that cartoonish look. I did a lot of thinking before I opted to go with the new texture. When I compared the images at a higher resolution, the new texture simply looked more real.

DOGA does not allow for a lot of tweaking when it comes to the Textures. I could import the models into another program, but that would require a lot of extra work and I am far to lazy to do that.

Ugh; Don't go with the metallic format; It makes your starships look as if they've had a wax job done. Go with Rough instead; IMHO, they seem more realistic.

Edit: Nevertheless, nice ships; I wish I could make shipsets as well as you do

I like them better than the original, But i agree maybe a better texture could be used. Either way they're still pretty good

Crap guys, I just finished the set and do you know how long it took me to update them? 12 hours. I tried the other settings and they all looked about the same. I changed to a differant texture and it just didn't look good. In fact I tried several new textures as the old one really looked ugly. After months of off and on again testing I opted for this finish. When I render them at high resolution they look *****en. Whem I compare the different textures at lower resolution this one still kicks the crap out of them.

Besides, the mini's just look wicked IMHO.

Take a look for yourselves. The Starwolf v1.8
