Something new for me.

Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!

Something new for me.

Post by MuhhammedJihad »

I've never used SW-sections before, this is the first ship i have made using them. What do you think?

Criticism would be nice.

Sections: It looks like you threw them down almost entirely at random to me.

Colouring: Ew. Don't use such a bright yellow, seriously. It's just one blurry yellow mass to me. You should work in darker shades at the very least for depth and such.

Glow: Same problem as the colouring, and a little hint; never use a flat-colour glow. You can make them look MUCH nicer using layered effects, same as with recolouring beams, for example;

The flat green beam is, let's face it, rather ugly. The upper beam, which uses a white beamer as the 'core', looks much nicer, no?

i agree with arca, looks a little random. :?
Try to make ships with mirror and then modify the ship to make an asymetric ship.
And.... is too dark, the black sections looks bad.

This. (replace yellow with cyan) Quoted because it's still true.

And by darker shades it doesn't mean just dark grey.
You want to lower saturation, and have a range of brightnessess.
