With these big wings I guess it would enter the atmosphere at a much slower rate, as it has a greater drag. How do you want your spacecraft work? It could even use a special elevator system like in Freelancer or make it a space SHIP, like in Cownboy Bebop where the space ships can also land in water.

or make a force field around it, thus it can have any shape

imo, the spaceship looks too plump, I would prefer a lank look, more mobile

OMFG this is aweosme @txesmi
Hope you will release a version to the community
This is what 3DGS needs!

We don"t see a lot of things in the video , and the camera is too far and don't ove to show the normal and specular effects,
a little useless ?
What make me sad , is that other engines propose complete lightening and shaders integration, and some propose Deferred shading alreay
Not only Unity 3D , some low cost engines like LeadWerks engine propose also that deferred shading.

So 3DGS makes me a bit sad in that areas.
That's like lightmaps import on models that is a hell on workflow compared to some other engines.

Well , i stop , i don't want to make people sad

i stuck in some problems with path functions...
Created paths in WED.. but can´t use path_spline to walk on them 8cause they are not closed)..
Now i give it up, to try to move the camera from node to node, for today ._.

No ratchet, you are right and these are things that should be sad which have thus far been ignored (except from some exceptional members of the community ). At the risk of going off topic, light-c really is a powerful engine, so I feel its about time we got some tools to really push the engine artistically. This has been the elephant in the room for quite some time. But in the interest of the topic...

I think that the spaceship looks awesome! Only, I think its a bit too rounded. Maybe if you gave it some angles to give it a somewhat "stealthy" look to give it a bit of personality. Right now it looks kind of toy-ish (But its still great work. Better than what I can do at least )

The spaceshuttle rocks ! I like the design.

Edit: But as said before i few hard lines wouldnt hurt ^^

@ratchet: The only thing "sad" about txesmi's video and demonstration is your reaction. I mean... really, you call that "useless"? You talk about deferred shading (again and again) like it's the solution without probably really knowing what it is about, deferred shading is a lot less user-friendly, all shaders have to be adapted to work with the specific implementation and it does not improve the visual quality automatically.
I don't say that GStudio's lighting system is highly advanced or very user-friendly, but such effects like the one from txesmi are way more useful for an actual game than all-in-one solutions.
Not only you but a lot of other users always demand a better lighting system for A8, but they never say in concrete terms what can/ should be improved. If you have a specific thing in mind I suggest you make a researched feature request, this will help much more than continue complaining.

Love the design, wouldn't change it because it makes your game not look cliche, has its own voice, however I don't like the wings on the fourth

@Superku:
Well, I wouldn't call it useless but it does seem like something that pretty much won't be used for anything. I don't care for deferred shading though;

I demanded a better lighting system too and am sure its currently so bad that they shouldn't even need a list:

We make levels with blocks right? okay, why cant block have shaders without screwing up shadows then?
Why is the lighting a model with the default lighting still soo ugly?

The problem is, yes, with a LITTLE work, we can avoid that but guess what, we should care about the guy thats going to download the trial... import a model, place a few textured blocks, add a light then say: "bleh, NEXT engine" Because of how ugly it'll look, he's not going to "spend a little time" to get it, not when it works immidiately in another engine.

And I think this community has given up on feature requests ages ago, unless its some little minor function that can be added in hours;
