I started attempting to make a texture/material for the Undead, one of the antagonist races from my novel. Not your typical brain-eating undead, more like space demons.

I don't know enough about 3ds max to make the fractal distortion or glow or pulsating red veins or anything, but I was moderately successful in making a shiny reflective base texture.

All of these shots are using the exact same texture and such.

To be clear, these are space ships. Made out of energy.

At this time I am (slowly) working on a significantly large article in regards to modding that I'll be posting on TL.

Woot. Looks awesome. I think it has a predatory feel to it and not really the "undead/vampire/ghoul" feel. That's probably because it's set in space i'd guess.

Looks a lot like the shadows from Babylon 5. In concept and design

I swear there's someone who just goes around rating blogs 1 star. Because every blog I've ever made usually starts off at 1 star then works it way back up. Haha. The comments clearly indicate that most people like them, though.

They do look a little bit like shadows but mechanically they are totally different. All of the spikes serve as functional weapons, psionic drives, or both.
