I think I may have set the +Twist setting a bit too high there

Very anime-esque indeed.

Hey Spoon, will the Daedalus Attack make its way into your mod somehow?

[Mongoose]

I must be missing something because the only "mario shark bullet thing" I can recall is the Mega from D3.

That was the first thing that came to my mind as well.

...you people seriously don't know what Bullet Bill looks like?

[Thaeris]

...I might have started working on one of those yesterday...

It's more that I'd rather see something that looks a little less ridiculous, which the Mega Missile is a little less ridiculous looking.

Why does that bullet have a shell groove on it? Or is it actually a cartridge with the round and the shell made of same matter and no seam visible between them?

No, sorry  
Requires more animation then FSO can pull of comfortably, unfortunately

Now, for FSO purposes, I could just let this out, triangulated, and let someone texture it. Of couse, I did intend to put a pair of cartoon arms on it - which is a good deal more work than just a simple revolve operation. On a separate note, anyone who says they can't model missiles or bombs fails at modeling forever...

Uh-oh, massive post...


More Aurora screens, various angles and Post-Processing to give the lights a little more life.








The ceremony, the Sanctuary has the same texture as the Orion on my previous chain of screens.


Hi Admiral!


Mmm...HTL'd Supernova...


The bridge of the Temeraire, another X3-like screen.


Bombs intercepted by the Rakshasa, using Nighteye's awesome shockwaves.


The battle of Delta Serpentis.


The Orestes fires several Eos missiles and her main beam.


Trailing fireballs that was once a Nahema.


A Chimera shows its bite.


In most cases only the vivid glow of the beam cannons is what exposes the Orestes, even when light does not shine on her.


THWACK!


A Bellerophon prepares to show off after the Chimera's display.


Eos missiles inbound.


The Orestes is more visible now, the star's light shines brightly off the hull.


The main beam at a closer angle.


This Mara is having a rough time, how much more can it take?


And now, proverbial Bullet Hell.


The bridge view of the Chimera...hope that Lucifer doesn't shoot at me.


NO, NOT THE CROSSBEAMS!


GTCv what? Who thought it was smart to fund for such shiny hulls?


Maras, attack!


A Hyperion putting out an impressive display of firepower.


First the HTL Supernova, now the HTL Eos.


Another view of the Chimera's attack, from the front.


A dark view of the Bellerophon.


The Orestes meets her demise at the hands of the Lucifer. (The burn-through effect is rather large I think, it's engulfing the entire damn ship! )

I did my best to try hiding the uglies that the Post-Processing make, but enjoy this ridiculously big post.

Hmm...seems I lost one of the views of the Aurora on its lit side, well there's enough Aurora shots here anyway.

[Snail]

I'm no fan of uber-dark lighting but those do look awesome.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Bloom much?

[Commander Zane]

Could've been worse, I intentionally didn't make any screens that showed the entire planet because of that.

Edit: The missions that have the Vishnans, will make eyes bleed with that Bloom.

[Titan]

Back to the topic of bullet bills for a second, don't forget to put on the arms.

[SpardaSon21]

Well, could you at least do something involving a bunch of fighters on a carrier deck and a total Macross Missile Massacre?

ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT!

* Thaeris demands to know Commander Zane's lighting settings in detail!

GIVE IT! GIVE IT NAO!

[Commander Zane]

-no_emissive_light -ambient_factor 35 -ogl_spec 20 -spec_exp 15 -spec_point 1.2 -spec_static 1.5 -spec_tube 1.5 -post_process -bloom_intensity 160

If you're slap-happy with Bloom you can leave the last two flags on.

Don't worry, it has missiles, plenty of em. 

[Commander Zane]

Might be a while before another batch comes up now that I finished the upgraded campaign, unless I decide to make DEM 1.5 shots.


A young Lieutenant Bei and his wing.


Another Temeraire shot.


Another Orestes shot, perhaps it's more leinently lit up this time.


The battlegroup is exiting Subspace...


And the battlegroup finished their jump.


A Chimera and Bellerophon both fire their three beam cannons at the same time.


From the bridge of the Temeraire, the Sathanas has fallen.


The Orestes gets herself some of those fireworks from the resulting explosion.


The Shivans are down one Demon Destroyer now.


This was really meant to bug people...Vishans in their now absurdly bright nebula with absurdly bright shining hulls...because of absurdly high Bloom.


Pew!


If you remember there's a screen of the Ancient version from ASW I've taken from the same angle, more for comparison purposes.


A pair of Preachers, this time showing their dark side and glowmap.


A Missionary trying to look like the ASW counterpart, the Kato.


Punching burners.


Viewing the fray.


A trio of Missionaries gunning it.


Pretty blue clouds aren't so safe.


These Ravanas were faced almost at the same time.


You can see the pre-shockwave shockwave on the left made via flashing death script, and a damn Seeker being annoying trying to steal the thunder by making a close pass.


Great balls of fire! The Keeper turns into a pin cushion of pillars of flame.


The 14th Battlegroup along with the Sanctuary, at their final destination at last.


The rather beautiful Karuna is the ship of the welcoming commitee.


Unfortunately things ended in fire. By the way, the Mass Drivers and Railgun projectiles are godly now, great job BP Team.


Her fate is at the blue shaft of the Orestes which violently combusts the hull from the point of exit.

It's so bloomy, it hurts my eyes...
