Comment on Battlegroup Sovereign by Vince-T
just for fun mostly. They're actually fan-made add-on craft for X-Wing Alliance.
Sweet, you say they're fan-made; how would a person do that, or are they drawn, kinda like a schematic, then forwarded to you and you render them 3d?
Not exactly. With fan-made I was referring to myself. All of custom designs I made myself. Some of them like these are inspired on common Star Wars-esque design traits, others I did all from scratch
There's an exception, the Valiant-class Republic Cruiser, which I indeed built on request from some rough sketches.

Ah, that would explain a few things. I guess the reason I was wondering is because a couple of your designs look kinda similar to an SSD design that I've trying to get down, and I was curious as to what software you used to design your craft, because the level of detail behind them is astounding.
Don't be fooled, most of it is bump mapping XD. If you compare them to other starship models available on the net, they're actually quite low-detailed.
I use an old version of Rhino 3d for the models and Corel Photo Paint for the textures, btw

Interesting, I've never really seen better quality 3D renders of custom ships.
Rhino 3D and Corel, never heard of those, are they commercial use designer programs?

Sort of, although many professional artists tend to use Adobe Photoshop rather than Corel.
Hmm though Adobe for the most part, costs an arm and a leg, at least from what I've seen.
