B5 Shadow Ships
Just a texture test.
version 1
 
version 2
 
Shadow ships are so dark that getting the white and black wavvy look of them has been difficult.

Re: B5 Shadow Ships
They look good, they just don't look menacing enough.
I dunno, maybe with a nebula background?

Re: B5 Shadow Ships
Looks good!  Actually I like #1 better because it looks like the black color of the Shadow ships. |

Re: B5 Shadow Ships
#2 definitely. The only problem I see is that the horizontal waves stick out more than the others. I'm not sure why. Is the texture stretched unevenly, or is it just a random chance thing?

Re: B5 Shadow Ships
I think its a doga thing. I can try and alter the texture a bit and see if I can get it too look better.

Re: B5 Shadow Ships
I think what you need to do is use a metallic sheen on something that isn't quite black. There is a distinct 'gleam' about the surface of the shadow ships and I don't think a plain black can capture it. Maybe if you blend a very deep 'metallic' purple with black you can get the right look.
