HQ Smooth Freelancer Ship Renders 4.84 + 4.85

[Why485]

Both bretonian and kusari ships are suffering from errors. Most kusari ships end up in a single, bright color, without purple wings. Most bretonian ships suffer from the same kind of error, only this time there are no red parts. The nomad ships aren't there, because they are entirely translucent, something i'm unable to fix (yet).

Whats happening to the Kusari and Bretonian ships, is that they are displaying their textures true colors. You may have noticed that ships when rendered no longer carry their emblem colors. Note the Dreadnought's nose. The Liberty emblem should be colored, and the "axe tip" should be blue.



There is no real easy way around this. What needs to be done, is to check the material names. The material names are named after their texture and color modifier. For example, one of the materials on the Dreadnought is "liberty1_256B." The B after the texture name, signifies blue. In Lightwave, I give this material a blue overlay, and here comes the color!

Yes, I really code like that.
