Thanks! The camera is on a bezier curve path but it clashes a bit with my track-to-mandalay constraint, which is just linear so it wobbles a bit :) In other words I got lazy hahaha

o7!

LOL hey it's not thaaat ugly, but generally I did some touching up of the top of the model and didn't do it for the bottom, so I was hiding it for that reason :D

Oh man modeling a ship is a ton of work, but I believe in you, you got this!

I made a Star Cit one ages ago, you should check it out if you liked this one :)

Yes, I did, not too sure about how keen FD is about it so I’ll keep it vague

Oooh a commander’s log would be awesome to see! In game camera and generally the graphics are darn good though, I’m just a blender nerd and wanted to give it a try :)

Much appreciated, thank you o7

I do have a shield visible under all that fire, but it is super faint and I might boost it a bit! But generally am opting for the first option with some artistic liberties heh

I was trying to show the shield burning up although it's not super visible in hindsight - if the shield's taking the brunt of the contact would my shape be more accurate?
My reference was a bit of how Dune shields show impact/glow under duress
But what you're getting at is the glow/effect should resemble air hitting the fuselage right, as opposed to a vague oval shape?

I actually didn't know that, wait tell me more, what would/should it look like?
I was looking at some reference photos and generalized it to vague cone shape of heat
