I fired up the new Space Object Factory tools and made a Blood Raider Dragoon and Blood Raider Oracle. Confirmed that they look awesome. Wish I could post pics, but I'd need to run it past all kinds of busy people first, so it likely won't happen. CCP Darwin -áGÇó-á-áSenior Technical Artist, EVE Online -áGÇó-á-á@mark_wilkins

I'll take a few minutes tomorrow to have a look at this. That said, in general if you think the look of a ship is broken or that what you're seeing is clearly not what was intended, please hit F12 and use the in-game bug reporting tool to file a bug report, preferably with a screen capture. Attaching the output of dxdiag (if you're on Windows) is also very helpful just in case it's a driver or graphics card issue.

I am surprised to hear this is happening so late in EvE's development. It seems like CCP would have been using asset management software for some while to manage variations in texture, rigging, and modelling, but that's good to hear it's getting attention. Going to be impossible to sell aurum ship skins 'one day' without some way to reskin during design time as well as runtime. You may want to have a look at "Production Pipeline Fundamentals" when thinking these challenges through. It's a well paved path. http://www.amazon.com/Production-Pipeline-Fundamentals-Renee-Dunlop-ebook/dp/B00IOPYVIU/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1411757606&sr=1-1&keywords=Production+Pipeline+Fundamentals++By+Renee+Dunlop I'll just point out that production pipelines such as those described in that book are concerned primarily with facilitating artist workflows, and don't have much to do at all with file formats, such as EVE's red files, that are intended for use as input to a game engine.
