So here's my first try with the shiny stuff.

I rather like that.

Beautiful ship. Also gives an alienish feel.

I think it lacks some of the character of the first one, but you did a great job of transferring the concept to shiny.

It has a very smooth design. My only critique would be that the core area where it connects to the front of the ship looks a little fragile.

Cross-posting this from the WTFU Discussion thread.

What do you guys think?

Looks much more better now that doodads are present. (Your missing an engine glow.)

Guess who found out about doodads and additive blending? I have!

Let me guess. You read the glowballs tutorial?
If you alter their starting index (0 to 1) as a decimal, it states how much into it's animation that it starts off at.
Ex: 0.5 will start halfway through an animated doodad's animation cycle. Useful for chasing lights and other things of that nature.

I think he already knows that.

Thanks for the advice, but I already knew that. If I had a way to convert the frames into a single gif, I would have shown off all the moving lights on the thing.

Shipmaker includes a feature for taking multiple screenshots over a period of time. You can then combine them in GIMP to create animated gifs.

WIP of a destroyer vessel. As always, C&C is appreciated.

This one seems more robust than you first. The back looks well armoured and strong, although I don't like the front. The sections of those 'prongs' look... ...awkward.

Yeah, not so fond of the front either. I'll work on it.
