Opinions on My First ShipSet

[ZeroAdunn]

Doga is a pretty easy program. Very nice and easy to use. I think pretty much anyone can jump right in and start using it without any background in 3D modeling.

A very nice ship set. It seems almost hard to believe this is your first shipset.

yeah doga is extremely easy to use. If you take a half an hour of time you can pretty much figure it out. Doga is specifically geared toward making stuff like ships so thats why it has become so popular recently.

As for the textures you really can't in doga other then what they have in the material editor. However, you can import textures from outside.

Very nice Val. What Version of Doga are you using, L2 or L3?

Thanks again

I started them in L2 and then brought them into L3 after hearing (er.. reading) how much easier it was to create the black background in L3. I wound up remaking the Troops and Weapon Platforms once I brought them into L3 as well.

It's a great set. I like the colours and the race portrait in particular.

I have to say your worldship looks more "ship" than "world." It does look very very cool though.

Thanks!

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the "WorldShip" either, but in our Bab5 mod we are using the Worldship catagory as a WorldKiller sized ship (like a Vorlon Planet Killer or Shadow Death Cloud), so I decided to go for more of a 'ship' look. I might change it over to more of a giant starbase though.

Val, your worldship is fine. That is a loose categorization based on size for the Neo-Standard. You don't have to make it look like a planetoid if you don't want to. There is only some many things you can do with a sphere anyway.

I like the way you put the smaller ship in view on the Worldships pic. Gives it a sense of scale. What ship is that though? I couldn't find it in any of the other images.
