i built the big battle ship, the fighters are out of the free stuff. to me it seems to be lacking some thing ???? i added some lens flare in photo shop near the fighter bay. not sure about the texture for the big ship???? anyone have any ideas please.

Texture is great, yet the lensflare is a little overpowering. Cut back on the intensity of the flare and turn your source light just a little to accentuate the rest of the mother ship. Looks great! Good Luck.

i have moved a couple of things round and dimed the lensflare

First pic had the light source at 2 oclock, make it 2:30 and pull it towards the front a bit. Sending directional light across the bow, pointing toward the back will look almost the same as the first, yet it will allow the entire ship to be seen but not completely detailed. And give you those shadows you had in the first pic. first pic had 105 prime lens flare, go back to that rather than the 35mm or 50-300 zoom. (it'll cut back on red glow)

Let me know how you make out. Hope this helps.

The texture is great but it is too big. Scale it down in the texture editor(no need to go to DTE for this), and I'd also play with the texture that is creating the black lines if it is a seperate texture. Maybe scale that down too and use that in the bump channel and/or reflecton channel. Play with it. Just suggestions--they may make matters worse but I think I would try that.

Somehow, I keep looking for a cockpit window, or window around a command bridge. Like the ship though.
