Done.

So... anyone want to take a shot at creating a hi-res Lucifer texture with damage?

Why don't you use Lucifer_HTL_Debris and Lucifer_HTL_Debris-glow???

Well, the problem isn't so much I need damage textures as it is that I'm making these at such hi-res and the Lucifer is so close to the camera that the current HTL texture isn't hi-res enough. The custom damage would just be an added bonus.

I have to say, the new Ancients scenes so far look just gorgeous. I hope all the rest turn out just as well.

What kind of artifacts are left behind by the lack of an even higher res texture?

The texture is just blurred out. It could look a lot better.

Again, some help with texturing would be fantastic. I want these remakes to be downright fantastic and so if there is someone out there with texturing talent, it makes more sense for you to do an awesome job than myself making a desperate attempt.

Modelers on HLP are few and far between.  UV mappers even more so.  Texturers... can't tell you.  I don't even know.

Moved a chunk of this thread to the FSOpen Support Board. It's still sticky, unfortunately.

Re: Cutscene Upgrade [RELEASE: Ancients 1-5] (56kers be warned!)
Oh yes... Probably one of the greatest game intros ever made, it still sends shivers down my spine every time I watch it...

Update... Hmmm... not much to show yet. I have been working hard on Hi-Res CB Anims for the Port. I am also working on the modelling for the Terran Pilot and Officer.

I got discouraged on EndGame because the file is just messy. I need to fix up a ton of animation on that one.

lol I warned you about doing the explosions with fluids... it takes tons of time and very hard to make it look right in motion... compositing 2D explosions in is much faster and easier, and most of the time looks excellent.

Actually Nighteyes, the explosions are not even close to the problem. The problem is ship paths. But good try.

Hey it's me, the one for whom the cutscenes didn't work....
It turned out I wasn't using RC2 as I thought, but actually had 3.6.12 RC1 exes :o
With the RC2 the cutscenes run fine now.
Welll.... at least the smaller ones. The big ones either lag or picture and sound run asynchron.

Try running the 720s.  It seems that the game engine has a very hard time with the 1080s on slower computers.

That's what I meant with smaller ones. The 720s run fine, only the 1080s have performance problems.

Ah, yeah. The 1080s run slow on my rig too. It's an issue with FSO
