Zalausai's Ships and Ship Ideas

[calvin1211]

The point where the arms connect to the outtriggers look really thin. And for some wierd reason, it doesn't seem like they're actually connected, it looks like the arms just hover over the outtriggers instead of actually being attached.

[Doogie12]

Yea the connectors definately need to be reworked. Shouldn't be hard to do with this kind of design. Otherwise, I really like it.

[Ristyo]

Also i think the connector almost look like they are two separate ships

[Zalausai]

Refined and Expanded

214 sections. I wonder how much further before the data limit is reached. Especially with that many doodads as well.

[Doogie12]

That is beautiful. I'd still say there's a weird transition from the connectors, but it's not bad enough to really hinder the ship in any way.

...I'm also super particular about how sections flow together...

[Ristyo]

Yeah I'm still confused how do u make it look like there is only one section in some parts

[Zalausai]

Some sections have similar colors of grey. When they are colored the same, they do look convincing as being one part. It also helps to line up the outer edges so none of them are jutting out.

Zalausai Edit: I found a coloring flaw. I'll fix it in the final release.

[Ristyo]

Also the weird thing is well....
the wing struts are placed too much forward, i think maybe it should be moved back a little?

[Zalausai]

Getting back into the flow of working on my faction ships.

HLB Defense platform (light)
(They're based on demons, so a pentagram defense platform seemed fitting. Extremely difficult to line up the shapes since "fine rotation step" doesn't work with mass rotation)
PainStar (beta, still needs testing)

Also being worked on is the new look of the HG Faction. (Based on EoD Mourning)

[Necrontyr1998]

Cool sleek look for the HG!

[Zalausai]

A new ship for the HG.

Also with color palette experiment.

Definitely the light blue. Tis much better.

I think the HG is the opposite of HLB, right?

[Zalausai]

I think the HG is the opposite of HLB, right?

They're as opposite as i can get.

HG: Heavens Grace: sky blue watery colors, smooth ships, and peaceful law abiding faction personality.

HLB: Hells Last Battalion: fiery colors, mechanical industrial ships, and chaotic raider faction personality.
