Title: More Screenshots
Post by: Spicious on July 08, 2005, 11:21:19 pm

As the title suggests, these are more screenshots. Sadly they aren't very mysterious, but I think that's more than made up for by the explosions.

Brilliant. It really looks more like high attitude dogfighting than ever before. I would brighten the ambient-lighting for earth a bit though.

Those are great shots. How are you getting an atmosphere(sky)?

That's a skybox. There's info on them somewhere in the SCP forum.

There's more information on skyboxes here (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/fsdoc/index.php?pagename=Skybox%20Option) in the wiki.

Now I finally understand why some of your ships have those bigass rotors.

I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that station just ate a cruiser-destroyer group alive...

Certain information on the website (http://www.3dactionplanet.com/hlp/hosted/the158th/)  should reveal its affiliation. ;)

Do not make me trace your IP and send some Mafia folks for a visit...

Nice shots!

May I suggest something?

The explosions will look weird with bright skyboxes. I think it may be possible to improve that, by using the alpha channel.

If you want more details, PM me. ;)

I'm going to try this anyway... someday...

Cool.

Looks a bit chilly in that landmass.

And don't the russian-ish ships have big rocket-type motors facing down?

Actually, yes, they should.

So when a ship blows up, do you have the debris falling earthward?

It uses 6 1024*1024 textures.

That sounds acceptable. Certainly better than one much bigger map.

Here are some more screenshots, this time using the mid-range version of DaBrain's 3d shockwave. (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,34618.0.html)

Gah, that station is scary! It eats destroyers and cruisers for breakfast...

It has quite a bit of help in this instance. :drevil:

Very nice! I'm so looking forward to this (since I did some VA for you guys last year, the first 2-3 missions.)  The ground looks just fine.

Looks very good. ;)

A refreshing new look compared to FS2. :)

Try to use a nebula to symulate the clouds.

If you use almost black poofs for that, it will look very cool.

I've done this for SoL before.

Wonderful.

Now, all you guys need is to invent an engine that will make screenshots into a game and we'll be set.

I'm sure many campaigns would benefit greatly from such an engine. :p
