Looks good, except for that the armor looks too "glossy" as if it just came out of an assembly line. There should be some damage done to it.
Your fake normal mapping is done wrong sir. I see pre-defined highlights from the normal map all over, especially in the visor.
So I decided to do the Editor in Chief's job and make the header for this issue of the newspaper

Hey there, so my previous menu that I posted was a bit too crazy for my game. I had to tone it back a bit on the Maya side. We're going to still get the flipping of the letters in, but we're going to be doing that all programatically. The other menu managed to break something in a teammate's laptop (he was exporting the animation for two days straight....) and so we had to come up with another solution to it. In the mean time I made the background of the menu and animated that. We'll see how it goes this time around :P
also, you won't be seeing this much of the actual menu, it will cut off on the left just about where the pipes end, on the right just after the gears.
I figured out what is nagging me about your stuff.
Your textures are too uniform, they should change for different parts of maps and junk. Like different parts of buildings,, and they all look like stone.
Your background animation goes slow then fast, unless you wanted it that way.
I had to remake those cosmetic patterns :gonk: (had to remake it about 3 times to get to where it is now so it took several hours) God was it hell, but it was for the best. Hopefully it looks alot better now for those complaining about the low poly sided temp hull.
@Heuro: I've seen many different sizes for the stargate in the show. I've made the thicker ones before and it doesn't look very well so I decided to try making the skinnier version.
Need to do some work above where you can see here, to make the upper part look like it slid out and up to reveal the... whatever it is... power core or something.
