Re: Hard Light Array resurrection!
As I understand it, "Celebration of FreeSpace" is for unedited screen shots showing off how pretty the game can look. This thread is for FreeSpace images that have been rendered, or Photoshoped for added beauty.
No one becomes depraved all at once.

I followed Snipes quite wide and far,
And he led us to an unknown star,
But as soon as I surveyed the scene,
A great Sathanas did fill my screen,
As it rushed forward for a jump,
The both of us seemed destined to bump,
Until I heard Snipes, not too quiet,
“Dive, Dive!! Hit your burners, pilot!!!!” -Trayus

 
Re: Hard Light Array resurrection!
Yeah, like this for example... It's what my latest planets in Celestial Objects were for.

Well since the shadows on both planets are consistent I'd say no.
It appears the Gas Giant Planet (or whatever the hell it is, Saturn?) is of a lower resolution than Earth though, which makes it look a bit weird. Nonetheless

:yes:

Re: Hard Light Array resurrection!
well making planets with rings is as hard as hell, I would know... the one I made for AG took me a full day and it's not that great.

Re: Hard Light Array resurrection!
Yeah. Both planets are 2048x2048 textures, but with the gas giant most of that space is occupied by the rings, while the planet itself is rather small indeed. I should probably try 4096x2048 next time.

And, the "off" may be the rings; if I look to the left part myself, it seems as if I'm seeing them from above, but that is not the case. Unintended visual illusion >.< Sorta like the Mobius strip.

Re: Hard Light Array resurrection!
Actually the off part is actually the background. It seems like there's supposed to be a light source from that bright patch behind the rings.

So these are renders in game?
Or are they just made with FS objects (ships)?

:P

And yeah, you have a point there with that lighting. I'll keep it in mind for the next one.

Doomsday - a concept sketch I made. What does your mom think, should I work it out?
Sorry for the scanning artifacts, BTW.

Lol :lol:

There's a whole procedure in Photoshop where you can turn an image to a sketch. It involves Posterizing, Finding Edges etc.

Still, I'm impressed. :nervous: FSF, you really did a nice job there...

Oh, and 'scanning artifacts'...right. :P Yeah... :P Whatever you say :P...

That doesn't look anywhere like a sketch...


Nice pic though, return it to normal and work on it some more. >_o
