Re: Galatea Mainhall [BETA PACK RELEASE]
Yeah, it does look biggish, but in general, FS is very bad about being consistent with sizes. (Hermes doors, for example).

You could also argue that the Apollo "bomber" in the cutscene is a two-seater larger model, whereas the one in the mainhall is a single seater "fighter".

Re: Galatea Mainhall [BETA PACK RELEASE]
Need I repeat myself?

It's all about perspective!

Since some of you didn't seem to understand the first time.. I'll break it down...

That character model is MUCH closer to the camera than you realize because of the camera angle causing him to look bigger (see perspective).

Re: Galatea Mainhall [BETA PACK RELEASE]
Well, I figured that argument would work if the person we're talking about wasn't standing only 2 meters away from the ladder on the apollo. Whatever. To me, the pilot is still clearly capable of fitting comfortably in the cockpit, if its scale isn't exactly as seen in the cutscene.

(and yay condescension :/)

Where's Engineer? (Like Where's Waldo)



Hint: He'll strike from the shadows.

Note: He'll be more obvious in motion. I don't feel like rerendering literally everything in order to add a touch more light back there.

Seconded, but I'm still more concerned where he setup the turret though...

Epic!

the cables are too thick

Can't wait to see this in Port!

 
Re: Galatea Mainhall [BETA PACK RELEASE]
This is amazing and I cant wait to see this in game but I do have one critique.  Some of the surfaces are too clean like the tech room, the campaign door.  I think a little dirt would go a long way.

Re: Galatea Mainhall [BETA PACK RELEASE]
Perhaps. But at this point, it would take far too long to re-render everything.. not to mention I would have to -actually- UV map those surfaces as well. Far too much work for too little gain, IMO. If it were brought up much earlier, I might have done it.
