If I make a ship in 3D Viz/etc...

[Lokarin]

What are the best lighting conditions and render angles to make ships look consistent with the in-game environment.

[Aury]

Light comes from the upperleft (northwest), the camera is almost perpendicular to the ship, but slightly tilted (10 degrees? I don't remember exactly) facing forwards towards the ship

[Bobby]

if I recall correctly:

the camera is 3 units behind and 5 units up
the light is three units front, 3 left, and 5 up, but this one I'm not sure of.

In this thread George describes the lighting setup. There are also links that lead to a Python script to do rotations in Blender, and a Java spritesheet assembler. The information should probably make its way into a sticky post at some point.

I moved the referenced thread to Extension Reference, so it's easier to find. Thanks Atarlost
