Yes, it's a Galaxy.

Gwaah, *slobbers uncontrollably*

Heheh, playing around with glows is fun.

The Akrotiri, the noble capital ship of the Ancients gets a facelift.

Terrorist.

Que?

You're making people jealous... (people who can't model, texture or even plot gunpoints properly).

Well okay, maybe just me.

[Darius]

I know how that feels...I'm still very much in the beginner's stage of texturing and POFing. I can't model either.

Playing around with existing textures is easier than making your own, and I've got the shoulders of giants (Inferno R1) to stand on.

Looks to be a mix of Terran and Shivan schemes, but at the same time too freaky to be a Terran vessel. Maybe the Ancients should all use that colour scheme, since their mentality is after all similar to the Terrans of before... (discovering subspace and subduing other lower species and all that)

I can't describe it that well. There's something about it that makes it not Terran, even though it has the colours of one.

Are those OTT textures?

[Snail]

Actually, I can texture and plot gunpoints, but at a basic level (when I say basic I mean I use Modelview to retexture .pofs).

I think he just went and opened the textures and then turned it into greyscale or something (what I do sometimes).

[asyikarea51]

Still I like that effect.

Just needs some shine at the blue computer-ish areas, and bang. <--- evil grin

That's exactly what I do for my models since I'm not a graphics artist. I use existing textures and general mixing and matching.

Snail: When I started modding FS2 we didn't have fancy toys like modelview and PCS, it was all done with a hex editor. Bah now I feel old

[Darius]

If the contrast is good enough, then yeah I just greyscale it and call it -shine. Otherwise I'll tweak the brightness/contrast to stop it looking like glass in-game.

Akrotiri is still using R1 Ancients textures.
