Still not quite perfect but adding the curvatures did not help much

Now that the textures are more aligned I started on refining them a bit. I got a nice metal texture I think for the blueish grey area. More tweaking still needed.

Alot of little fixes needed after applying the meshsmooth. I like the way this is coming out very much.

Fixed alot of little UVW glitches. Modeled out speakers and other minor modeling tweaks.

Here is a much better developed panorama of the Terran Space Station
I hope you enjoy this. It shows off the texturing a bit more while giving you a view from all sides.

A texturing update of the A-19 Assimilator (Frigate Class Deployer) Many little tweaks in round two of texturing. Tightening down the maps over all. Mainly around the docking bays, guns, bridge and wings (ie planet killer cannons).

Hey ||) |V| |^|, youāre moving way to fast man! 
I find the alien ships quite impressive (the assimilator looks quite large!!)
Also watched the video with the retouch on the texturesā¦I think youāre on track with it but maybe a little less color would look fineā¦
Youāre moving quite fast there mate!! How about a family photo of AAAALLL your ships lined up! :bounce:

An update to the Epsilon Mark III Terran Star Fighter. I was just not chillin with the texture mapping or modeling at that time. I was to mentally into the alien craft to take my time on it. So here is a much needed update to its appearance.

Thanks virtuoso. As always your thouroghly encouraging words further motivate forward motion. Since this contest has begun, with the help of those whom have supported me throught I must say I feel like I have grown 10,000 fold as an artist. I also realize I truely love building star craft. I have rekindled my passion for all things CG. I have learned and hopefully taught. To me as beautiful as it would be to cross that finish line the winner, I feel I have already won through the participation and feedback recieved on this course.
More to comeā¦
PS: Your scallawags can exist in my universe anytime they want as long as they take over other peoples planets, not ours, heheā¦

Reduced the meshsmooting, I think I like the pointier edged look of this. More polygonal vs the smoothness of the alien vessels.
