Zalausai's Ships and Ship Ideas

[Zalausai]

Here is the animated version.
Damn choppy rendering on this one

[Ambitious Builder]

That looks better, doodads always add something to a ship. It sucks that my laptop can't run them well.

[Zalausai]

Experimenting with doodads. This ship went through over five reconstructions to reach this look.
I don't really like the lights. . . just putting it out there, as I suspect that others may not either.



Still image with lights removed (Most of them. I do like the four chasing ones along the center line)

Requesting comments and critiques on the new section use style.

This is the first ship to serve as a replacement to the HG ships. As of yet unnamed.

[Doogie12]

The doodads look great on the first, although they only seem to be in that single area. I'd absolutely love it if they covered the whole ship (but not too much!).

I will add a few more. However, they will have to be spread out from the center to make the ship more CPU friendly. The center will have fewer doodads, so the rest of the ship can get them. This will help users with lower end computers play with them for the DGW.

On another note, the new look of the HLB is also up for review by the public.

Chunky and heavy as compared to the HG sleek and smooth. (The red "shines" may need to be darkened)

A ship's style must get at least three positive reviews in order for it to be accepted. (A critique for improvement is not entirely negative, but the result of that critique should be better than the original ship.)

[Doogie12]

I'd definately stick with the HLB design.

[Netharis]

I'll second doogie's comment that they look great; it makes me wish that I had the patience to mess with animated doodads.
The ship itself is pretty great too, but I think the back is a tad too dark for a section next to such a bright engine flare and perhaps that the reflections should be facing the light sources (or maybe your ship is facing a star or something, then it's fine.)

[Necrontyr1998]

I really like the last blue ship! The subtle glow/shines really make it stand out and the doodads look great too.

[Zalausai]

A new small ship for HG is done.

It awaits comment and critique by the public.

Positive reviews 2 / 3.

[Zalausai]

Update to the previous ships.

Doodads spread out.


engine area lightened (1 section)

Experimenting with larger ships.

The smaller ship is extracted from the first.

Both of these ships await critique (sectionwork only, since nothing else is present currently)


Please also critique the other ships as well if you (other users) have time.

[Doogie12]

Depth and color greyscale as you go, it helps a lot.

[Danny420Dale]

I like that last small ship. I'd like to see it shaded and colorized.

[Zalausai]

Now that portal 2 is out of the way (I beat it in 7 hours or so), I can make more ships.

First, an answer to Danny420's request. It's a smooth ship, so it will serve the HG. (Added engines)

Personal quality review: 8/10

All ships will remain unnamed until I feel that the ranks are full. Weapons will also be added to them at that time.

[Ambitious Builder]

I like this new one, although the windows(?) in the back don't seem to fit.
