Wow, these are some amazing spaceship designs! Personally I'd turn off the shadows for those light-sources. You have two light-sources and the amount of shadows makes the image seem pretty chaotic.

Grats for your skills, copying spacecraft isn't that hard technically, but inventing and designing them I have a lot of respect for

Thanks, I'm just happy that once you have a theme going it makes it easier to make more ships of the same style. Imagine having to think them all up from scratch each time.

I've been watching your submissions and I must say that you've come a long way!
One thing that stood out the most to me is that you have your own style now, which I'm very happy to see in these cylindrical-ish vessels here, and some of your previous submissions, that is very cool man. Props for that.
As for this submission, I personally like the right-most vessel (the big one), there's a lot of detail put into it (not that the other ones don't) but this one just catches my attention a lot.
All and all, I must say that this is some very good modelling my friend!
And I do have one suggestion (granted you're using 3d max)... Try doing these type of renders with a skylight system, it will make anything you render look sweet because it gives it that clayish feel (I do it for my stuff). However, it will increase your render-times, but I personally think it is very much worth it.
Cheers!

First off I'd like to say thanks.
Ok on to you comment.
Your right about the whole style thing. It's been one of those areas that I have been trying to work on, what makes me different from other artist in this genre. I'm glad that you think I'm on the path of defining my own style. I'm also trying not to get stuck with just one type of style and having the flexibility to do other things. I guess this shows when you compare my SG ships which follow the shows designs but have there own flare to them and this set of ships for the project I'm helping with.
Well with these ships I could have done more detail but since they are going into an animation and there is going to be a ton of them I settled for a polygon count of 40k for main ships and 10-20k for secondary ship. I'm very glad you feel my modeling has improved. I love looked back over my own gallery and seeing how I have progressed, you can see the change almost in each new model.
You know I really have to add a tag at the start of all my submissions saying "Lightwave user, models are totally not 3d max!!!!". Well I'll look into seeing if I can do some lighting that is similar to that.

lol I feel the same way. Well we should be getting to the animating part soon I would guess. Right now we are getting a few more ships done and playing with different weapons and explosion effects.
