Why not just post the link?

Nice fighter! Me like it. Only the window isn't really my stile. Maybe something a little more transparent?

He is off to a good start. If keeps up with it, it will be nice to see what he can come up with.

I have no idea what you're talking about.. How I did what?
If you mean how did I make textures I find many on the net and almost always modify them to fit my needs. I also found out I can very easily make textures in Bryce (which is my rendering program of choice)

Note about the 'image' tag.. The only types of pics that work are .gif, .jpg, and .png (my personal preference for posting is .jpg)

Cheers!

AT, how did you change the background on my fighter to black before you posted it?

(I want to be able to do that, but I dont particularly like it for this model cuz it "eats" the dark part of the camouflage.

)

You guys really like that fighter? I thought it was boring. I much prefer the small transport. I'll redo that one in L2, slap a skin on it, render it as a png and put it in my next post. I'll do the portrait/mini Version in the other thread in case anyone wants to add it to the fleet.

Thnks 4 the kind words and advice all, and yes TC, a texturing tutorial for DOGA and a link to those textures would be GREATLY appreciated! This is fun and I need more options.

I did it the old fashioned way, in PAINT.

When I use DOGA L3 I have the images rendered with a black back ground at 1000 x 1000. I then use Windows Tools to resize them to 128 x 128 and 36 x 36 and the use PAINT to ensure that the black back ground is indeed black by chaging it to a white back ground the back to black. I save my work and I am done.

That "window" is actually part of a stock fuselage that I reshaped to suit my needs, therefore I couldnt change it. The colony ship I'm building from scratch has nice shiny blue windows

It'll be a week before I'm done with it though.

Well keep up the good work, we'll be waiting for the result. Good luck!

Here's a little taste. (Attachment) I suprised myself by pulling off the attempted cable structure supporting the... the err... thingies around it...

That Last one is really cool! Looks like a fair bit of work too. Great job!
