Well I'm slowly learning v-ray, I hope to be adding more dirt soon. My weapon icons will be getting the same treatment when I can get my skills developed enough. Still need to redo my freighter and stealth fighter, I also have a battleship and destroyer in the works.
If you guys know of some good tutorial sites please tell me, the lighting is kicking my ass. These were pretty much gook luck.
And here's to hoping I can get this done before I disappear off to the job corps for 2 years. XD
New on top old on bottom.
Caliburn, Will also come in TKI gray and red as the Excalibur.
Just the cruiser, as luck would have it my 3ds crashed on the 13th taking my material library with it. The models survived, so i only have the paint job to redo. XD
*me just notices the stats in the ship selection screens*
The ships are looking rather powerful for starting playerships >.> (unless you plan to have them be ships one could buy later on)
They're starting ships atm, I'll admit they're powerful but they'll get weak fast past Saint k's. I plan to make them buyable when that gets fleshed out more.
I've been thinking about having them start a special storyline when you do, if i can figure out how to script.
And Caliburn is my god version of the Excalibur for mod testing. XD

Although, it could use a bit more colour and texture, but thats just my opinion. Good job either way!
I plan to dirty them up a little when I can. ATM i'm torn between using Mental Ray or Vray.
I can understand Mental Ray's materials and lighting much better than Vrays. On the other it seems like almost no tutorials exist for mental ray so the parts I can't understand are that much harder to figure out. Then on my magic third hand Vray confuses me to no end even with tutorials XD.
I like mental rays composite system better, but Vrays is supposed to be faster.
Not counting what skill I seem to have with it, I'm thinking Mental Ray is probably the better choice since it's integrated into max.
I see you are progressing! Got any in-game shots?
