 using the mini pics also would probably give better results EDIT: i have an hiigaran shipset also lost somewhere, you may want to use pics fom it also (obviously talking to the amarr empire) |

The mini pics are in there, however I left your original ones in place, while replacing the large 128x128 with more up to date ones. Additionally I needed a few more pictures to be compatible with proportions. Question, how did you get the mini pics? Did you use the eve ship viewer and get an above perspective? I guess when I get some more time I can update the mini pics. I think I'm going to reinstall Homeworld II! |

I really can't recall where i got pics for that shipset, i'm not a 3d modeling expert and probably i got those pics reworking an SEV shipset (i did it for some long time ago) same i did for the Hiigaran shipset i was talking of, somewhere i should still have the "official" zip i did for the shipsets containing a readme.txt with thanks to the original authors, anyway you find plenty of ships models around the net (Eve also i believe), with a free sw like blender it should be quite easy to export a bmp with the views needed for the mini and the portrait pics For some custom sets i cutted parts from the portrait, positioning and stretching them "wisely" and maybe recolouring them to obtain the effect was looking for in the mini pics, the Amarr shipset is not the case. If you need 3d modelers I believe you can contact the original authors of the sets to get minis (maybe additional pics?), Black Knyght also posted some time ago some interesting 3d models and surely Atrocities (author of many wonderful and known sets also even if they lack often realistic textures) but i believe he's more oriented towards the SW / STK universe than towards the Eve one. Or you can try to check SEV sets to get portraits and minis for the ships you're lacking to complete the proportions set Portrait as you may know can be found here: gogela.com/eve, www.eveonline.com/universe/spaceshipsLoved the realism of homeworld ships and the feel they gave, i believe if you need more models you can use those from that shipset (reworking colors) they're someway often consistent with eve style (provided they're modeled with realistic textures) |

I actually just started using the Amarr Shipset for SEV and I might be able to pirate some of those images for an improved version of my modified SEIV shipset! Good idea.

i believe i'll put toghether also a rework of my shipset with ships coming from Atrocities sets  Due to the success of this, maybe il get back to put togheter some set "stealing" pics from SEV sets, or other sources (providing "thanks to the original author" notice along with it) |
