The shinemap alone looks wonderful.
I think the color of the engines will have to be changed later on, to match better. But you are doing a wonderful job on it.
How do you create the scrathed metal texture?
I got that one from gfx-inside (dead now) I think. I have a few hundred MB full of free textures, self-created textures and photo textures (most of them shot by me).
But I tend to modify/mix them when I use them for maps. (And I tend to have favourite textures
. You'll see what I mean when I release the supportship map.
)
Hmm...I'm thinking the engines really ought to look homogenous with the rest of the hull. That's pretty much the rule on Terran craft, and it makes sense because they're all under the same armor sheathe.
I can't argue with that one.
But from the optical point of view, it looks just boring if the whole ship looks the same. Some parts should look different.
Lets say the engine needs another kind of armor plate due to the high temperatures that are created. Or ... stuff.
