Revamping the stock sections (WIP)

Xynus · Post by **Xynus** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 9:17 am

I decided to take the stock sections and remake them in a different style.

Ship i made to show sections i've made so far.

i'll be making about three or four of these a day and updating this post. when they're all finished i'll make the pack.

later on i might also make a pack of some of the basic weapons as well.

Textures?

They look surprisingly decent.

I actually kinda like these. Perhaps tinted grey they could create a 3D feel.

Ooooo! Pretty sections!

Maybe you could revamp some of the weapons too.

these are good, but for some reason look extremely flat. anybody else feel that way?

thanks, guys. and, Dyoano it might be because i wanted to limit myself to using only five shade of grey for each one. also, in a little bit after making this post i'll upload some more sections.

edit: more sections now

Wow, these look pretty nice. Although I agree with dyoano, they do look a bit flat. Except for the section 4 remix; there's just something a bit different about that one that gives it a more 3D look.

I guess the problem is that the original BSF sections can look like they are going up or down depending on the shading, but if he adds too much depth to these sections this will fail and sections won't look good in certain combinations that worked before.

I love the new ship, really shows the use of these sections way better then the hestia.

I'm sorry i haven't been doing much of these lately. I'll do some today.

like maarten said, i really want them to be usable just like the stock sections, so i limited myself to using only 5 different shades of grey. i can't get much of a 3-d effect with 5 colors, but it still has more depth to it than using 2 colors. i think i might change the 05 re-make though. it looks ridiculously flat.

These are awesome! My first thought was to groan at the light gray just cuz it looks weird to me alongside the default shades, but the textures are pretty clean and really make the section details pop. I would totally use these!
