New texturing plan - Before and After image - Secrets Of The Venator mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption

Here we have some before (left) & after (right) shots of some ships that I have edited the skins of (I chose these because they are my favourites so far).

It is my opinion that *some* of the ships in EAW look like they are in an environment much brighter than space; in space the only light is that reflected off of stars - often from very far away.

As such, I think the ships should be much darker than they are presently.

At this stage you might be wondering about the Mon Cal Frigate I have posted; "what's with the colours?" (Or Colors)

In the Star Wars literature, Mon Cal ships are often unique from one another, each having their own variations on common shapes; it would seem that Mon Cal ships follow a very 'Natural' design (If the word natural can be applied to great hunks of metal that fly).

I think it follows that Mon Cals would not spoil the 'Natural' look of their ships by going and painting them in an almost uniform brown; rather they would let the natural colours of the metal in question suffice.

As a largely aquatic world, I picture the metals found on Mon Calamari to be full of 'earthly' colours; primarily blues and greens.

Anyway.......enjoy, and I would love some feedback.
