Can I call you an idiot? It ain't done yet.

The explosions still look kinda funny, and the bit where the Lucifer breaks apart looks odd. Might be the way chunks of debris randomly disappear in a flash.

This is the same as the original. I'm not changing it.

Question: in the FS2 Ending, will you be adding the second Capella Star in the background. Nothing major - just have it showing until the blue shock wave

[mjn.mixael]

For what purpose? I know Capella is binary in real-life but I'm pretty sure it's not in the FS universe.

Agreed. It's important to maintain the original cutscene's spirit.

Very good work, even on a WIP.

Some of the download links will be down while I upload better optimized versions of these. Should only take a day or so.

FWIW for the background I made for Capella for use in the media VPs I added the second Capella star.  I placed it to be partially obscured by the primary sun so that the overall scene wouldn't look too different.  In any case the cutscenes show no nebulae at all whilst even the different retail missions have nebulae.  For this reason the LS nebulae I used I placed in a narrowish band away from the stars, again to try and keep a look similar to that of the cutscenes.

How's about I finish with the FS1 scenes... THEN we'll worry about the FS2 scenes.

[Kolgena]

Nice. Post-processing is truly t3h s3x. I kinda want lens flares in game now (I see beam turrets breaking whatever flare shader someone might come up with though...). Are you considering motion blur for the fighters at any point? It might alleviate the awkwardness of the flight paths that are going on when everything's rushing out of the portal. Slight depth of field effects on the lucifer so that not all parts of the ship are crystal clear might also be nice; something looks off about the drifting lucifer piece, but I'm not sure what it is or what might fix it.

Another small thing: The moon and the earth look really, really bright. Actually, so does everything after it comes out of subspace. I think it might be better if shadows were stronger, lighting dimmer, less saturation or something to fix that issue. I'm thinking that it might just be a result of you not being done with those scenes though.

Explosions still look tacky. Sorry! >.>. I think it's because they look far too clean. Have you thought about having chunks of hull fly out, with small smoke trails coming out of the holes long after the explosion's finished? Not exactly that realistic, but hey, rule of cool. If FS2 intro can do it...

But disregard the criticism. I'm just an idiot ranting on a WIP for a final cutscene that's going to blow my mind. Right?

[mjn.mixael]

Motion blur will be added.. I'm not doing DoF.. the benefit to cost ratio in terms of render times is just WAY too great and not worth it.

[Kolgena]

Fair enough.

Still, do you notice what I'm talking about though? Right after the Lucifer comes out, it looks off. Maybe oversaturated glow maps? (Speaking of which, death flicker back to red, then black would be pretty cool)

Hi guys! Wow, after more than two years of reading this forum I finally decided to write something... Firstly It's simply amazing seeing how much love you guys put into this game. I've never encountered such a hardworking community...

OK, to the point. Endgame cutscene looks brilliant, even as a WIP, but there is one thing I don't like - Lucy's textures. I know they resemble those from original endgame, but they make Lucifer look less dangerous, and that ship should look like death itself. I think, red textures are better in achieving that feeling - I assume even realised that and turned Lucifer's textures into red in the main game.

Even if you decide to stick to current textures, green colour on them is far too shiny. In original scene it's much more moderate.

[T-LoW]

And now I had to register so that I could tell you, that the green color looks great and absolutely makes sense, because it's just 1337!

Seriously, the turquoise / green color shows that the Luci is running in subspace-mode, what - in my opinion - is totally awesome and also adds detail. After it leaves subspace, the color turns to red - as you can see in Icey-Jones great Destruction of Vasuda Cutscene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9soWW_haNbM

So please stay with that green

My thoughts exactly. The next release of FSPort will give the Shivans green glowmaps in subspace.

Awww, sick!

[Vasudan Admiral]

Galemp: errm, aaany chance the green could be optional? The lucifer pulls the green look of better than any other shivan ship but I still don't like it in the slightest sorry!

You could just grab the standard glowmap and rename it to override the subspace glowmaps on your local copy.

[Colonol Dekker]

There's only one subspace mission in the port, i don't see the big problem with Green maps for one mission.
