Based on the size of your nozzles and the angle they point outward (not to mention that thrusters use compressed gas, not combustion) I highly doubt they could scorch those plates; it would have to be a really wide cone of exhaust and that probably wouldn't give a lot of push.

Other than that, what the others said.

Well there are some marks in the film (though I don't think they look 100% right), and in a vacuum, the exhaust will flare out strongly - even if most of it is in the core).

I'm leaning towards making a clean version and releasing that while I think about possible dirt.

I've just uploaded a 'clean' version to the resources, complete with three sample scenes, including an animated flyby with the legs deploying.

I baked the IFW2 shaders, so you don't need them.

I'll think more about a good way to add effective dirt, but in the mean time if anyone wants to take it on, feel free!

6 renders from the sample scenes are attached.
Thanks to Sean for letting me swipoe his airlock door!

Thnx for sharing. Good job!

Starbase1 · 24th September 2012, 09:03 AM

Cheers chaps! (And any chapesses).

I just realised I need to get some final renders out as finished images, before someone else does!

lonewriter · 24th September 2012, 12:30 PM

Thanks for releasing it, it looks great.

Starbase1 · 24th September 2012, 12:48 PM

If people want to thank me, the best way is to use the model and show the results!

Great work sir. The mesh is lovely.
