OT: How does it look?

[Renegade 13]

I've started making some components for a mod I may or may not ever make ( http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif ), but I'm not sure if they're "good enough" to submit to the image mod. I'd like a few opinions that are slightly less biased than my own! Please vote, and leave comments if you so desire. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif Thanks!

Not bad at all. The green/yellow texture looks a little odd in the larger picture, but it gets smooted out in the 128x128 image so it doesn't really matter there.

What is it? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Atrocities]

When I see this I cannot help but go... Ohhhhhhhhhhh wow!

[Renegade 13]

What is it? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif


It was originally intended to be an engine, but I'm really not sure what it is yet http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif Any suggestions?

[Atrocities]

It would be very hard to make a ship set out of it, but you could give it a try.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif Thanks AT!

You know, I hadn't thought of making a shipset out of it, but it is a possibility...though as you say, it would be quite difficult.

[Kamog]

Looks great! Maybe that could be a large colony ship for an organic race. It looks biological...

[TerranC]

Plague bomb. Them blue things look infectious.

[Phoenix-D]

How is this off-topic? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

It looks like an Organic missile or bomb.

Took the words right out of my mouth!!!

Organic Stellar Manipulation Component! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[NullAshton]

It's an organic cattleprod!

[PvK]

Oooh... shiney!

Organic propulsious?

[Caduceus]

I don't see why it would be difficult to make a shipset out of it (aside from the initial concept and construction, obviously).

By varying the number/length of the stalks and bubble clusters, it could be easy to tell the size/function of a ship within the shipset.

Good job.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Plague bomb. Definitly a plague bomb.

Hmmm, good point http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

As for function, thus far we have:

- Organic Missile/Bomb
- Organic Colony Ship
- Plague Bomb (2)
- Organic Stellar Manip. Component
- Organic Cattleprod (don't think it'll end up being this http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif )
- Organic Propulsion

Right now I'm not sure what it'll end up being, but most likely it will serve as some sort of component, not the basis for a shipset. Though it's likely I'll eventually get around to making a similarly designed shipset too, when I feel like making another shipset. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Thank you everyone who's voted and commented so far, I'm happy you guys like it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

[Ragnarok-X]

Missile imho.

[gregebowman]

Give it a couple of years, and my kid could probably do better. J/K. I like it very much, and I wish I had the time, the know-how and the programs to create something like that. Good job.

[Renegade 13]

It doesn't require much know-how, just a little bit. The programs, that can be difficult, depending on where you get them from.

The biggest thing it requires is time. Lots and LOTS of time. For example, the pic in this thread probably took roughly an hour and a half to get right http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

I'm happy you like it, it's always nice to have people like what I do http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

A Bridge!

[Captain Kwok]

I think you need to enhance the lighting in your renders, or the smaller images will be far too dark.

[PvK]

Yes more light would help the smaller images.

Nice organic bridge!

[Atrocities]

A bit more light would be awsome, very nice bridge set up though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Great looking.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Good, but it does need better lighting.

[TurinTurambar]

That bridge. Hmmm... how very Trekian of you...

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
TT

I like the component, to me it looks like an organic engine.

[Suicide Junkie]

Would it really be any better to have the consoles spit acid instead of sparks into your face when the ship takes a minor hit? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[Renegade 13]

Good point about the lighting everyone, I think I'll mess around with it and see if I can brighten it up somewhat. Constructive criticism = http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif Thanks!
