Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
Wait, there's a HTL Boreas?
I second this question.

 
Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
*sigh*  IIRC, I took this shot just before the hammer dropped in final BP:AoA mission when I was taking some time to admire the fleet.  What's the first thing that catches your eye?

I don't seem to recall the ships facing different directions like that.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
Uh-oh. Is something wrong?

  
Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
I guess nobody here is susceptible to "up and down" in space.  I blinked a few times when I was going through my screenshots because I thought it was odd that it was upside down when it was not (due to the myrmidon that strayed into view).  I was just being silly when posing "anything odd?"


As a side note, the blue beams of BP are deadly in practice but somehow don't look as deadly as the more familiar green and red beams of Christmas death.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
They're a lot thinner.

Might be fun to play with during the re-release. Not a huge priority, but it could be fun to sexeh up the effects.

And when was this a test to see who'd say there's tilted and upside down ships in that screenshot?

Plus in all technicality there is no direction in space.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
Thanks, everyone :), yes this is HTL Boreas. Model by Moonred, UVmapped by Kobrar. Turreting and other PCS2 work are mine. Currently, we're working on HTL Icelus and HTL Phobos Advance. Later I will post some more screenshots :] .

BTW. I'm another polish guy. Sorry for my bad english.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
Phobos Adv. is one of the best ships in INF, I wonder how it's going to look in HTL.
One more question, is that tile-mapped?

The new Boreas looks fantastic. Phobos Adv. was my favourite Inferno ship, looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
By the way, are the HTL Inferno ships just something you're doing personally or do you have any involvement with the Inferno teams?

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
No :(, tilemapping is impossible in Wings 3D. All new ships in my mod, will have only 1 texture, mix of the MediaVPs ones. If someone want to help with uvmapping and texturing, I can send the model.

We're not part of the Inferno Team. We're doing all models for Shadow Genesis [name of my mod]. Inferno has a lot of beautiful models, but they're low poly and badly uvmapped. We're redoing them personally, for my mod.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
That's awesome. 1 texture per model is the way to go performance-wise, and UVmapping looks a hell of a lot better.

If you can UVmap then you have some awesome and desirable skills. Thought about helping out Blackwater Operations?

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
No, I can't UVmap :P I'm model converter, general modder and FREDer. Kobrar and Moonred - both polish moddelers are my UVmappers, but Kobrar have a lot of work and a Moonred don't have a keyboard, so he can't UVmap.

BTW. If we're intrested about my mod, check the freespace.pl. In my mod's topic, you can see more screenshots :]
