I like the one that looks like the USG Ishimura

I was trying to make this ship as similar to Ishimura as possible. This is GTRf Denoran - mobile rafinery of the mysterious Abyssum mineral. This strange rock is able to give terrans a lot of pure energy, this is almost never-ending source of energy. It's very rare, Ultima Cena will tell you the history about war of the Acrimonia system - rich in Abyssum. GTA are not the only space force who want to use Abyssum . But they're just plans. UC is frozen for now.

Soft particles!

Oh look, Geomod !

Owait

Dem shockwaves, some of the sexiest things I have ever seen.

[T-LoW]

Beautiful.

Distortion shader applied?

[Darius]

Yeah they should be, hard to tell in that shot.

[Kolgena]

It would be nice if the 2D shockwaves looked a little more spherical in their presentation.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Isn't that what 3D shockwaves are for?

[CommanderDJ]

They're not spheres. They're still planes, they're just not always perpendicular to the player's point of view.

[SypheDMar]

Nighteye's shockwaves are 3D

[pecenipicek]

They're not spheres. They're still planes, they're just not always perpendicular to the player's point of view.

WRONG! if memory serves, the 3D shockwaves are a squashed sphere basically.

[Kobrar44]

They are models, right? So they can be anything.

[SypheDMar]

They're not spheres. They're still planes, they're just not always perpendicular to the player's point of view.

The ones in the mediavps are disk-shaped.

disk, thank you.

my description wasnt that far off

[deathfun]

If the Death Star exploded with a plane for a shockwave, I'm more than happy to accept the ones currently present

Albeit, it'd be really cool

[Fury]

Meh.

Both 2D and 3D shockwaves in mediavps aren't really shockwaves at all. Framebuffer shockwaves are the closest thing we have yet that resemble a decent shockwave. If there was a way to add some more custom detail into the framebuffer shockwave via a shader or something, that'd be awesome and could completely replace the crappy 2D and 3D shockwaves we have used so far.

That shockwave was added in the remastered version iirc ^^

[deathfun]

Dammit, where's my VHS of the originals...
Also, where's my VCR...

D:

[Dragon]

Yes, shockwave was added in the DVD version. The original didn't had it, it was just a big explosion.
