This is a .dif that I have been working on for a project I am doing...

I envy you... Most of my attempts at .difs have failed, and those that haven't are ugly as hell. =\

Looks wonderful, though. Are there any rooms or anything within the ship?

No plans to make rooms inside the ship. Does not really fit into what I am trying to do with it
Thanks for the compliment.

Wow, people used to get a "love it" or "don't love it" response on these boards. After you look at the model for a while its hard to be objective. Torque artists must not frequent the boards here like they once did.

I would love to see some close up shots of that in areas, more of a detail shot, like the sails.

Looks good, would be a good combo with the moving platforms.

Very nice.

What program are you using to create your models?

I used 3d World Studios. As much as I would love to use constructor (I am in beta) its just a tad clunky for me still. I hope that they get it running well because straight to .dif could be a wonderful thing.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. Its really hard to be objective with my models after I spend some time with them.

Link to image that was too big to look right here without messing up the page

There is another shot up close that you wanted to see Allyn. =)

May I ask you a question?
I have several 3Ds Max models of warships. Is it scriptable after I convert it into .dif?
I know .dts is scriptable, but I am not sure with .dif formats.

What do you mean scriptable?

I mean, I can use script to control the .dts warship, like floating, moving, etc.

but I don't know how to control .dif objects.

I thought .dif is used for static buildings, not dynamic vehicles.

It is. You would have to do some fancy relight processing for mobility. Of course, if it is a docked ship, etc...then it would make sense.
