What, no text on the little sign next to the warp pylon? š
Seriously, it’s looking great. I’m glad I came over here, you only posted the one measly picture on 3D Gladiators.

I don’t know how Lightwave is (yet) but modeling the names in trueSpace is a cinch. š And there are so many advantages over textured markings, like not having to worry about how close you can get with the camera before the markings get blurry.

I have always liked to stencil the name to ships for that very reason you mention, Lightwave is the same, its easy to too. š
