It looks great. Just remember to rotate it counter-clockwise so the bow is at the top of the image.

What did you use to create it? And, is this the first of a new fleet of ships?

Modeled in Wings3D, then post-worked using layers in Paint Shop Pro. And I was unaware of the facing issue, but that is easily fixed in PSP.

And this is the first of a planned shipset. This one is the explorer, I have already modeled the escort, but have not rendered or post-worked it yet.

Cool.[8D] Good luck with the set.

And I notice the red star insignia, is that a reference to the Japanese flag?

Actually it was just a brush I had to make it a little less bland. But the Rising Sun works also. [;)]

Here is the escort. Slightly different lighting set up here.

Those look superb. I like the slightly darker colour tone of the frigate. [&o]

Think I'm going to rescale the escort a bit...the bridge looks out of proportion to the rest of the ship compared to the frigate and Scout. And I think the darker colors will become the standard.

That is sharp looking... and something I think fits in the SW universe...
I really like that frigate. [8D]

I really like the frigate too. [:)]

I'll be working on the Destroyer, Cruiser and Capital ships tonight...don't have to work tomorrow, so I can sit up a bit later with it.

And now the destroyer. I must admit I am quite pleased with the results I got on this one.

Awesome stuff, Shark7!

Just think how useful all these new shipsets will come in with the expansion!
