I have finished uploading all of the new images to the site. You can go there and take a look.

Oh my... That has to be one of the most awesome shipsets you've made man. I look forward to playing with them in many games.

Awesome ! But what would you do with the old shipset ? I liked it very much.

The old set???

I think the old set has a second race picture that can be used. I will update the old set and call it Dominion 1.74b Old. I will rewrite the description and such so that it will be differant than the new sets.

Atrocities, that is one great looking ship set!

Being in the process of creating (or trying to create, anyway) a ship set of my own, I'm curious about the incredible detail of your ships. Do you use bitmap textures? Or do you create them in your modelling program (which I'm assuming is Doga)? Using the basic Moray material editor, I have not been able to create textures that look like metal plates as you have done for this set. I'd appreciate any advice that you might have. Thanks!

Thanks. I use Doga L3. The texture editor allows for combinations of patterns including inported ones. I used two exsisting textures and adjusted their depth via the controls in the editor. I also used several other shapes, colored differntly, to give the ships a bit more detail. It was my first attemp at this effect. I am still tweaking the set, but otherwise it is looking better than I had hoped.
