I was wondering if anyone could make a skin for the DG that iss just polished aluminum?

Look something like the pic but with no writing or stripes.

I'm not really sure how it would look good without specular reflections...

I can do a brushed aluminum quite easily, but you are right about the lack of reflections. Might be more of a software creation than a strictly graphical.

I doubt that an unpainted DG would look shiny and metallic. Such a vehicle would be made up largely of composites.

Maybe more like this:


(Except maybe a bit more sturdy since it has to withstand reentry from orbital velocities.)

Pretty sweet if it was just one color it'd be better the ligest grey on the skin. But still cool and quick.

That was the brushed aluminum effect. Like I said in the readme, it would be better if it actually reflected. So you just want a straight grey then? Or any other colour?
