Some updates for the site
[ol]
[li]I added the WIP comments function to the site, so now you can post about users Works in progress (for the person that uploaded the image, and project leads specifically) **filters out unwanted comments of praise. It’s just for crits. [/li][li]I changed the PM Email Notification setting to where you get to choose whether it’s on or not, by changing the setting in your profile. [/li][/ol] Future Updates
[ol]
[li]Please everybody update your information with the correct info. This is becuase the next section I’m gonna create will be the public page to see who’s working on the project, and I don’t think it’s very professional to have a bunch of "unknown"s for personal information. [/li][li]After that, I’ll probably create the public page for images, and updates. [/li][li]Then will come the news system. [/li][li]After that I don’t know, we’ll see where we are. [/li][/ol] This site should be done very soon.

b00bie, I’m gonna need some more planets soon… we need to chat
Cheers,

nice texture work AJE 
I know I don’t always do it either , but if you match the light source for the planet and ship it would be perfect!
Ya I know… lol… I didn’t forget, I just didn’t do the background.
I could change the lighting on the ship to match the background, I’ll probably do that when I update the pics.
Does anyone have any ideas on setting up a good engine light/glow? I’m not happy with what I’ve been using, and I want to get a really good looking one standardized.
It has to be in LW.
Cheers,
AJE
yeah…there’s just too much to do sometimes…you do end sometimes just putting it together and don’t have the time/energy for all the icing…they are WIPS after all…
On the engine glow, I guess it depends on what you like, a cylinder with an adjustable envelope would be nice to allow thrusting accents…all the same it already looks good … it would be cool to have some openings on the side of the Engine, near the back…then we could see a few slivers of that cool glow from the front 3/4 profile as well as side and back 
ya looks cool man
so what would u like me to be working on.
i can attempt some more concepts and stuff but it would be good if i had some guidelines or a certain style to work to.
With all these cool images going back and forth i am getting quite jumpy to model a couple douzen pilots and crew to fill up the ships.
I haven’t yet started on any pilot, army or freeman clothes designs or modeling.
Perhaps we call do some concept art in that direction to get that going as well as the ships did.
SWEET!
small suggestion> might look good turn down the intensity a bit …maybe a little closer to the control window’s brightness level…and make the openings even thinner slivers…IMO, they would look best as opening in the actual housing so the light escapes through them…might be the high glow, but looks a bit like they are objects attached to the surface.
It really looks FANTASTIC though…and to imagine a few short weeks back you guys were an abandoned team in turmoil…man am I glad you stayed at it!..I’d nominate this for front page if I hadn’t already been told off so many times by our mod.
…if this is where you start, it’s daunting to think where you will be in a few months. :eek:
Yeah that looks just awesome! I agree with softdistortion about toning the engine glow down a tad. The new render really looks like an action scene.
On another note:
madkarma could you please update your information on the site so it shows on the Crew page?
http://thegabrielstrain.com/test/
btw, AJE i notticed you took out your first and last name. Would you like me to make it so you can choose whether it shows your first and last name on the site to the public? Infact, I think it’ll make it so almost all of the information is not required.
Looks Great AJE, nice detailing on the engine interior, lets the light play to create a great sense of scale and complexety, that’s the kind of finery I usually wimp out on when I should kick in the polish
Congrats on the 4 star rating guys!
And I’d like to welcome Strik3r to the modeling team.
Cheers,
AJE

Damn good stuff, as a fellow “original” sci-fi project, its wonderful to see TGS getting the recognition and quality support it deserves, gives me hope for our future.
