Opinions Sought and Needed (New Ship Set)

i would say if your gonna keep that race portrait then change the color so it matches with the rest of the ships. Not necessarily the same color but something closer to blue.Also if you get doga3 you won't have tp worry about masking because you can render to a black background or if you want you can make the image and then open the motion desgner and put it in there. Just position the camera accordingly and you can set a black background. Thats what i did till i got D3. Should save you a lot of time.

Thanks Chewy. That is how I currently do it. I found that using the Motion feature makes it a lot easier than trying to filter out the blue background. Also, once you learn the camera, positioning is easy.

As for the color, it matches the emblem, and the emblem is also the color of the ships. I thought about changing the ships to that color, but opted for the bluegray look instead. If the Race Portrait is that color, it looks a bland. This way, it looks more unique. I will include differant color Race Portraits with the set though.

Thanks guys.

well if you want to take the time you can add some small parts that are the color of the race portrait to spice up the pics a little and bring more continuity. I've found that some small parts can add cool detail to ships that are pretty much all one color.

I thought about it, and your right, the race portrait should be the same color. Take a look now.

very nice. I'm glad my input could help. Makes everything flow very well IMHO.
