I took away some of the unimeshing to simplify redoing the UV, which I am currently in the process of, and added some misc. cuts and stuff. Current tri count is now 952.

Tired now, must sleep.

Welcome back, keep the good job flowing, and I hope to meet you in-game.

Are you already sub'd? If not yet, let's talk about it...

I used the last of my trial trying, and failing, to get some screenies of the inside of a dock for texture reference. I have A minuet left on it.

Uving is finished, I'm blocking in general, basic colors:

Any suggestions for list misc. details in the texturing would be most appreciated.

You say this a lot. Too bad that effort expended has, in your case, no relation to utility of work produced.

More work on the diffuse:

The white stripes are cc areas. I'm experimenting with having them as a layer within diffuse .psd file.

Serco is RED, why so much yellow?

Get some reddish metalized texture there instead...

And definitly, remote the text, or replace it with GTS for uniformity... For we we would replace all GTS signs with clear latin fonts, but that is another topic, and since it will not happen, use GTS or nothing.

The yellow: I figured yellow fits for an industrial ship (and it's more orangeish now than pure yellow). Don't worry, there'll be more red put in as I work.

The text: I didn't know if was supposed to put GTS of english, I just remember seing TPG in english on the side of the EC. I'll put the GTS on there though.

All this time around and I never noticed that engraved "TPG" before... Almost said you were nuts. Anyway, a picture from 1.8.79 post:

By the way, have you read this post, Terran?

Next, if you create a temp email and post it, I can send you some friend key, 14d more...

The GS spec post, I actually brushed up on it a couple days ago.

Thanks for the friend key offer offer. Lemme get what I have done presentable, and I'll do that.

Sorry it took so long, my internet cut out and then I got into one of my projects for Infinity. Here ya go:

*** Friend key has been sent.

Cool. Thanks.

Maybe I can get some good reference sketches........

Hmm the domed window looks kind of silly now that it's textured. I think it'd look more "Serco" if it had a covered top like the Prometheus does.

Terran, pro tip: never, ever, ever, ever listen to alloh. He'll make your ship look even more horrific then it already does.

Indeed it does. I'm gonna have to completely redesign this thing.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Do you have any suggestions?

what if you brought the top the canopy forward, but stop short of making it a mirror of the bottom. Kinda give it an underbite so to speak. I know the textures are preliminary, but they do look a little bland. But, hey, you've done MUCH more than I ever could have.

Honestly, this ship is beginning to look pretty ugly. Your other ships (Lucifer and the very first one) are much better. I say to hell with this one for the time being, you should work on your texturing for a bit.

I agree completely with you. I've even gotten a whole new model going for this, but I agree I should work on something else a while.
