We have a lot of art.

Shamelessly stolen from my ICQ message  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Seriously though, I think it's fantastic. It just shows the great degree of skill that the community has. And this is in just one area, image creation! Quite impressive indeed.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

It's very true tho.  We are getting a lot.  Which is by no means a bad thing.

Have I got news for you - I couldn't draw with a pencil and paper to save my life, and a brush in my hands would only be useful to stab our next door neighbours cat with. Rendering is my only talent as far as art is concerned, but hell - I love it!

It's all pretty amazing.  My pictures folder is expanding continuously and my background is changed often  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

BTW, how about a section for fiction at HLP?

I seriously like all the pictures everyone makes, but since I have no talent, on paper or computer, i have nothing to compare your art to. I have to say that everybody's art is excellent and wish I had the talent and skills that allow you to make such wonderful creations. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

If I only had TS4... I'm sure I could make some cool renderings too. But for now I'm stuck with TS1, so no Freespace models to render.

trueSpace sucks. Especially for rendering.

I disagree, I think it works well. But if you have a better idea please post that in the "Rendering?" thread.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I have TS1 too, go look at mine in the misc section. You'd be suprised what you can do.

I made this one ("http://www.geocities.com/starwing_corp/misc/great_battle.jpg") in Truespace 1. But I cannot get the Freespace models into it. When I view the .cobs in 3D Explorer they are alright, but when I load them into TS1 there are no textures and when I try to get the material of a face I get some strange error.

You do realise you can render straight from 3D Exploration...

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you change the intro to my gallery? I have more than seven pictures in there now.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
