Did some playtesting last night and while I was doing so I thought I might as well show you this.

It's on the FTP. You'll need it to playtest Singh's latest mission :)
-
Whee!
Please tell me you're not still using that (*hack* *spit*) Valkyrie Mk.2 model, though....
-
We're still in the process of changing over.
The Valkyrie is likely to stay. It will get a bit of a facelift from DaBrain though. With decent shinemaps and glows it's actually quite a nice looking ship.
If you don't like it you could always make us a high poly version ;)
-
Well Valkyrie on my opinnion is good looking replacement for its ancestor ;)
Oh and can't see my house, but can be seen still, at least in cruel skandinavia (look on your euro coins around finland and sweden) :D

Placeholder. I didn't bother to correct Singh cause we're going to have to rebalance all the missions when we swap over anyway.
-
ooohh....aaahhh.....
-
Earth looks good :yes:
-
OH MY GOD!!! EUROPE IS UPSIDE DOWN!!! THEY ARE ALL GOING TO FALL OFF!!!!!
-
I seriously hope you guys got rid of the Vesuvius. No offence Aldo, but I didn't like at all when it made its appearence in Inferno.
-
The Vesuvius is t3h bomb. Gun configuration, it's all about the gun configuration. 4 hits, first time, every time.

The Vesuvius is likely to stay. It won't be the one you saw in Inferno though.
-
How will it be different? Will it not look like the "franken-fighter" we saw in Inferno?
-
Imagine this

With one of DaBrain's textures on it.
-
that will look very good, i hope
-
Hm... Gives me an idea for a model...
-
Please tell me the paint job is different... dear God, I hate that paint job...

I don't like it either; that's why i started yon HTL version....at one point after I abandoned Reci I was just going to produce HTL versions of my older models that I knew were being used by campaigns.
(NB: did I ever UV that thing?)
Still might remake the Valk 2 i the new year, natch. We shall see.......
-
who is making these skyboxes?

As I said It will have one of DaBrain's textures on it. All you're seeing there is the basic colouring Aldo would hav given it while modelling it. :)

Yep. You UV'd it. That's why we're still using it. At the moment while we have modellers and a texturer no one on the team can UV map (Well Fractux can but he doesn't have that much free time).

CannonFodder is responsible for those. :) Apparently though that one isn't good enough so he's working on a new one :)

A thankless task in IMO. Only people who notice a decent UV job are modelers. A poor UV effort is plain to see to anyone.
-
Karajorma, that's not the paintjob, that's the model. I'm not talking about the model. Heck, it looks good.
I'm talking about that god-awful paintjob it had in Inferno R1.
-
I'm talking about the model and the paintjob. :p
-
Bah.
I tried for a bit of original colouring and it just gets blown back in me face.......... (had I got round to it, I would have ket that same colour scheme for the Ves, y'know - how many other red ships are there?)
-
Lots and lots of them. They all have 'Shivan' stenciled on the side.
-
They're black + red
and shivans don't count :p
