I would love to, but I have no picture to work from. I think this is where one of the 3D guys comes in and says "I'll do it".

Well, one way to get one is by importing the model into radiant. I don't know if that's suitable for the task.

Hmm. You'd have to do it in an older radiant, since uforadiant displays normals.

Not really. Unless I can get a bottom view of the ship on a blank background. Specifically the angle at which the scout ship is pointed would be great.

I'm trying to find the .obj file for the supply ship.....

EDIT

Thank you for the post after this one. That's perfect.

Like this:



The bottom looks like crap because the model doesn't have one (it's made of brushes).

Thanks for the updated PSDs. I think it looks better with the supply UFO.

For some reason, I don't like that at all.

Probably because aliens don't have hands like that.
Also compared to the others it look pretty dull, like writing down the alphabet on a bnig sheat of paper.

hmm, how about trying another patchwork?
Like taking a bit of the writing of the first pic, some of these hand, or better some taman hands, and maybe a brainwave scan (because of the possible telepathic connections)

The other new pictures all look like some culmination of the test results, like the graphic version of the textual report. I realy like that and think the other shut look similar wherever feasible.

I think it's alright, actually, although some alien hands in the image would help.

Regards,

I think that signs don't represent alien alphabet (though they could have one, e.g. for equipment interfaces), but rather  some concepts. But the general idea of the image is clear which I like.
I only suggest that since Alien Communication was not only about sign language, but about alien psychology, interaction and such, I suggest adding inkblot or IQ-test images, some symbolical depiction of basic chemical formulae or math operations, or something like Voyager plate picture.

Okay, this is the third time, so let's try to wrap this up. I've updated my previous post with a new image, but the PSD file is still old. I'll upload a new PSD once the critiquing is finished and I've had time to add in stuff and tweak it.

Let's leave it at this. Please update the PSDs as needed and move on to something else.
