Re: Cutscene Upgrade [RELEASE: Ancients 1-5] (56kers be warned!)
OK, "subspace-mode" thing sounds cool enough to justify green maps and if we'll actually see it during final mission, I'm :yes:. But is it Lucifer's feature only, or it applies to all shivan units (like Lucy's escort)? :nod: I like this idea.

All Shivan fighters and bombers will have an alternate set of glowmaps for subspace (shieldless) combat.

I have to ask because I somewhat see it coming (and it scares me).

Are you gonna remove the animated glowmaps from shivan ships?

Why would we do that? Most of them are from the MediaVPs anyway. If anything they'd be changed to green for our use.

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

So, at risk of further topic derailment, how goes Endgame's final render?

Just finished up the damaged texture... a couple other things to add and then Render and finish post on Part 1... Really it all depends on how much I keep playing FS over working on cutscenes... so many campaigns to play...

Because it's been said lately that animated glowmaps consume a lot of texture spaces, and that they are ineffective because of that.

I had a sudden unfounded fear, that's all :)

That's why they're being pulled and moved into a separate VP.

Hmmm, I'm sensing a bit of repetition here...

Endgame... The last 3D render finished this morning. Now I begin the fun work of compositing it all together. This is the time where screen-shots show up often in IRC.  ;7

The download links aren't working.
Normal people believe that if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it isn't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.
The difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers is:
Mechanical Engineers build weapons.  Civil Engineers build targets
An optimist sees the glass half full; the pessimist sees it half empty. An engineer sees that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Re: Cutscene Upgrade [RELEASE: Ancients 1-5] (56kers be warned!)
Endgame is now finished! Well, finished enough. This scene was far more complicated than I anticipated and it's not *perfect*. But if I keep working on it, you'll never get to see me work on some other scenes! So here it is. Enjoy.

Also 1-5 have been re-optimized for filesize/quality. There are not any big changes, but you may wish to re-download them if you are having issues running them.

Lastly, the FSPort team decided that IcyJones' cutscenes belongs alongside Ancients 4. This release now features Ancients 4 transitioning into Attack on Vasuda. IcyJones did a really fantastic job and it's awesome to combine our work.

Check the first post to download everything.
