I used this tutorial http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/m...a-exausts.html
with some adjusting to fit the oval thruster housing and then I changed the colors to something more to my liking.

Re: Battlestar thrusters
looks good. Never heard of Battlestar Andromida, but it still looks good. What program do you use?

Re: Battlestar thrusters
That's an awesome effect. It looks pretty authentic for the newer BSG.  |

Re: Battlestar thrusters
thanks, and right now this mesh isn't hosted anywhere but you can find his other meshs on scifimesh and foundations3d. I use lightwave 9.5 but I also use Max occasionally. tan.j's Battlestars are his own design. I just made the thrusters and added the lighting rig.

Re: Battlestar thrusters
Thanks for the info. I'll have to try it if I can find a demo somewhere/if it's free.
