Why not show it off in-engine?asked by Harkiver

Because this is concept. This is before it's been built in engine.

Yeah, this is just 3ds Max, and then we put it into KeyShot. But it's why our meshes have to be really, really clean and 100% really tight. Because in KeyShot, if your meshes are dirty or not very nice, all the smoothing groups can end up really, really horrible and you'll get artifacts and horrible geometry that you just don't want. And also it makes the ship team's life a little bit easier when your geometry is really clean, because it translates better over to when it goes into 3D. There's things like that that we have to bear in mind.
