Your point being? The Vortex generator is not true to the one in the show, yes. It needs some glowpoints, and that glowpoint animation has to be triggered in FRED. So, add some glowpoints to it.

Saying that "the game in general loses its meaning", that's a bit big for a few missing glowpoints, don't you think?

Oh, and in case you missed it: the EMW intro was rendered using an external renderer, like 3DS Max or Blender. It's NOT in-game footage (although I think it uses in-game models).

Perhaps this 3ds max video.

although, it's hard to believe. not proved.

maybe it is a commercial version of the game?

Okay, Vidmaster, in the second or third post in this thread, pointed out that it is rendered. In case you missed it, Vid is one of the Moderators here, and he should know such things.

Just take it as a given that people like him know what they are talking about, okay?

Besides, "Commercial Version"? No such thing, mate. TBP can never, ever be sold for profit, because it lacks such important things like a license for the B5 IP. Not to mention the fact that the FSO license explicitly forbids the creation of for-profit games using the FSO engine.

As you've been told, it's a prerendered effect, not one done with the FreeSpace engine.

What are you talking about?

It's another pre-rendered video, isn't it? It has nothing to do with your Core2Duo.

 
When you finally do at least something beautiful?

Where did you get such high-quality models? Why not move them to the engine?

Oh, for ****'s sake.

That is PRERENDERED VIDEO. It is not rendered in real time. It does not use the game engine.

Instead, it uses a special program (like 3DSmax) to render each frame one at a time over a period of minutes or hours. The frames are then stored and played back like a movie.

That's why it looks better than a game, which must render each frame in one-thirtieth of a second.

The damage effects in that video cannot be reproduced in the FreeSpace 2 engine. Nor can the lighting, the particle effects, or the jump gates.

WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IS NOT A GAME. IT IS A SPECIAL EFFECT. THE GAME CANNOT LOOK LIKE THAT.

 
Ok. Even if this is so.

Ship models. they, too, doing enough?
they are very high quality.

Honestly those may be the exact same ship models used in TBP. I'm not sure.

This thread is quite hilarious :p

Alex:
these videos are made in a similar way to Pixar movies, you're just watching a video being played.

If you converted a video to the right format, you could watch anything you wanted in Freespace, but it wouldn't be made up of 3D models.

EDIT: you can't get a 3D model from the video, the models are probably the same as in game (not sure, confirm?) , they just look better due to the render being better quality than if it was rendered in realtime

Anywhere else I can not find any other models of ships for the B5
I was searching everywhere. Nothing was found.

There are no better models for The Babylon Project ships.

The existing ones could be redone with normal maps and the like, but it's a question of finding people to do it.

I agree with you on one thing, Alex.
TBP in-game models (and not only models, but they are most visible) are crappy compared to, say, MVP ones.
This is because of the fact that TBP team leader was once very "problematic" and didn't liked nor supported any attempt to update TBP to modern standards.
HTLs are now made for Zatharas, a TBP mod which goal is to provide bugfixes, Multi support and upgrades for TBP, but it's going slowly and the models lack quality of models seen in Diaspora or FoTG. In fact, TBP team still don't like people using TBP assets in non-TBP mods, but it's not that problematic since you shouldn't need effects of such quality, much better hi-res effects are quite easy to find. I hope that those effects will be upgraded some day by Zatharas.

Tell me please whether the general effects of the molten metal on the hull.
If you're looking for decal effects, a lot of them can be found in Mediavps, you can also find some in other mods for FS2_Open.
Nukemod cetrainly has a couple of them.

Oh jeez.

You've already been told. AFAIK, the models used are the SAME ones from the VP files - they're just used by a different program.

If you want current TBP models, you may have a problem.
As I said, TBP team (especially IPAndrews)doesn't like those models used anywhere outside of TBP, so it may be difficult even to get premission to edit them.
And as I said, they're crappy, so you should better look for better models via internet.
Yoiu can find some really great models here: http://sf3dmodels.boom.ru/
