    [3D Model] I need your opinion!

    Working on a college project, with three different models, but I can't decide on a color for the glow effect, so I turn to the collective mind of MMO Champ

    You can browse through 8 colors, click on image to view in 1280*720
    Baby Blue
    Green
    Orange
    Purple
    Red
    Cyan
    White
    Yellow

    Which would you prefer?
    Reasoning would be appreciated

    Thanks :3

    Orange. Many of the color are not mixing in well with the model. Orange made the model look the best and was easy on the eye

    Since your spaceship is yellowish you need to choose coplementary cold color for the most contrast and efect, so i vote blue, purple, green...

    Purple looks pretty nice, though Orange is 'easier' to look at.

    So far most of the feedback I've recieved is 1,6, and 7 as a "neutral" color
    5 is very aggressive, and 3 is seen as all-around

    In the short "movie", my faction will be aggressors but not necessarily evil, so I'm kinda leaning towards 3, 5 or 6
    Tough choice

    Further opinions is appreciated :3

    Option #1 seems the most realistic to me

    A FB friend who knows photoshop threw together

    Gotta say it works very well if I decide to use a more "evil" color scheme instead of yellow, what do you guys think

    Red looks a lot nicer from those two pics IMO.

    You'd want to go with a darker color. It helps with the contrast and brings out the detail a bit better.

    It may be slightly over the top for what you're wanting to do... But I have to say that I would LOVE to see the darker one with the orange one if you could like make it pulse or animate in some way. Like bits of red popping up or going through it. Make it seem more alive.

    On the base model before darker base color I have to say that I think the orange is the easiest to look at for sure. While KrvaviSale is generally on point, I also think that when it's going to be such a major feature of the ship that maybe it should go with something a little easier on the eyes. If it was a small glow or the windows or like tip of the fins... Then a splash could really help. Which could be a way to liven up the design overall if you wanted.

    All but the white option looked really jarring on the eyes.

    Try using more shading/light sources, the first 8 pictures are a pain to see.
    the other 2 pictures are far better - you can pick whatever colour you prefer from those since they are not a strain to the eye.

    purple or cyan because the seem to complement the background and bring out more of a neon tone

    I think cyan and white look the best, but baby blue is also nice.

    I appreciate all the feedback, I've narrowed it down to either yellow-base/Cyan (there's something about the combination) or dark-silver/Red
    Not that I disagree with the many that voted orange, it's one of my favorites as well

    And if anyone's interested I dug up a rotating render clip I made earlier, perhaps someone would enjoy it :3

    oh, and an image from the opposing team, not made by me:

    Although if I decide to go with Cyan, he might need to change his glow to blue :P

    That looks like a phallus.

    I'd go for red.

    Based off the image of the opposing team I have to vote for the red one. You want to easily be able to distinguish between the two teams, so picking a compliment to it is probably a smarter idea. Cyan and Blue I think are just too close (I mean in the cyan is a shade of blue...) and will muddle who's who and what side they are on.

    This is doubly true if there isn't a sense of scale somewhere like seeing them close to each other. Like if you showed me a render of them in blue and you and cyan just like you have now, I would have no problem calling your ship like a probe or shuttle craft or something of the "bigger guy". The colors would just be too similar and without a way to say what size they are compared to each other...
