Thanks for doing that texture! You did a nice job on it. Saved me the time, is it rendering properly other than the blackness issue? I Don't know what would cause this blackness at night thing, but I will search till I find it.

maybe it`s caused by the almost black alpha channel of the main texture ?

Nevermind about the Proteus, it has no shadow map. I cannot make one from scratch, as I don't know how to UV map textures. I understand how they work, but I cannot make one from scratch.

Also, I think I should let everyone know I will be out of town for 9 days starting Saturday morning.

I might be able to get on here and make posts, but I will be away from my work computer.

I just figured out something awesome!!

And it was right in front of me the entire time.

By tweaking the unified render controller I can stop the imported ships from doing that weird transition from light color to dark color as you get close, and I can get the textures for the weapons to render much further out.

These problems were really bugging me, and now they're solved.

I am not sure if it will fix the solid black passenger ship at night but it might.

Just tested the hospital ship and passenger ship at midnight, and sure enough, that trick fixed the solid black problem.
