Better

That nasty glossy scattering function had to go.  Replaced it with Gaussian distribution.  No-brainer.  At 20% diffuse, 80% glossy, the ship is looking a little better.  Still looks cheap and cartoon-ish, though.

I actually think it's getting too close to the camera.  I should push it back a bit...

Oh...and the front of the ship...what the heck is with that???  Total garbage...
