Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Solatar on November 17, 2002, 04:54:08 pm: Here are some screenshots of some of the backgrounds in the Unification
War demo. You can also see one of the new ships, the GTF Mustang Alpha.

Post by: Galemp on November 17, 2002, 05:02:05 pm: Isn't that sun glow the subspace glow rotated 90 degrees?

But still, it isn't bad, Nice and colorful.
Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Solatar on November 17, 2002, 05:06:50 pm: Yeah, it is. But I really though it looked good as a sun. Makes it look like a render.

See the engine glows on the Mustang Alpha? You can't see the difference that much, but they are beamglow-something- .pcx

Post by: Knight Templar on November 17, 2002, 05:13:44 pm: The suns ok, kool colors and the verticle lines are interesting..

Mustang look cool, but it is wingless! :eek: :eek2: :wink: :eek2: :eek:

looks nice.

Oh, while we're at it, can we get closer shots of the Mustang?
Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Solatar on November 17, 2002, 05:15:40 pm: Screens of the Mustang Alpha will come later, as well as the Mustang Beta.

EDIT: And remember, these screenshots would not have been possible if it weren't for the HUD toggle option. Thanx SCP!

As for the vertical line, I've seen them in loads of renders, as well as the fs1 opening cutscene. I think it looks pretty cool.

And remember in space you don't need wings!

Post by: Solatar on November 18, 2002, 05:35:08 am: Only problem is that we won't be able to do this great backgrounds in the Unification War, as in Sol there is just one star. but I WILL get some backgrounds for the planets.

When will the new model for the Alpha be up for DL?

Post by: Solatar on November 18, 2002, 02:34:47 pm: From now on, nothing is released to the public (No Models, and weapons, but screenshots are okay:D) until the main Unification War. If you really want to see the latest stuff bad, and you are a GOOD FREDer, then be a FREDer.

That Beta version was just to let my team get a feel for what might go on. But I decided to let you guys have it, see if any good missions were produced out of it. Authors of good missions were going to be considered as FREDers.

Got any more good screenys? I love to look at that kind of stuff!:nod:

Post by: Solatar on December 07, 2002, 07:15:06 pm: We have even better effects now, and I may release take some pics and release them tomorrow.

Post by: Nuclear1 on December 07, 2002, 08:17:07 pm: Slow down, people. Save the screenies and goodies.... ;)
Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Solatar on December 07, 2002, 08:23:12 pm: Why? I haven't even released a fraction of what we could release without spoiling it.
Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Shrike on December 10, 2002, 07:13:32 pm: I think you should tune the color down on the suns..... it's far too intense. I think FS had it pretty good actually.
Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: ZylonBane on December 10, 2002, 08:58:40 pm: I dunno... I always thought the FS suns looked a little washed-out.

Somewhere in the middle would probably look best.
Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Galemp on December 10, 2002, 09:09:09 pm: I agree with Shrike. We may have a 'yellow' sun, but when you look at it it isn't THIS kind of yellow.

That's true. One thing that IW2 pulled off was good environmental lighting, if the suns were (at times) rather brilliantly colored.

Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Goober5000 on December 29, 2002, 01:25:32 am: Hey, Steak likes our stuff! Yay! *dances around*

We'll have to get some recent stuff posted. Shrike had better finish that Damocles soon... :nervous:
Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Alikchi on December 29, 2002, 01:31:14 am: Indeed, the Mustang looks very cool.
Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Woomeister on December 29, 2002, 08:02:09 am: Yay Setekh likes my fighter :D
Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Goober5000 on December 29, 2002, 09:13:34 am: You'll have to make more then. ;)

j/k, only if you want to. What we really need is the existing stuff finished up so we can start FREDding.

Did I send you KillMeNow's model yet?

Post by: Woomeister on December 30, 2002, 11:31:04 am: (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/inferno/images/apollomk3test.jpg)

This is a model I abandoned 2 months ago. If you want it I should be able to finnish the mapping.

Post by: Deepblue on December 30, 2002, 11:39:41 am: Looks like something made for OTT. ;7
Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Woomeister on December 30, 2002, 11:55:23 am: Nah my stuff doesn't come close to Aldos and Venoms stuff...at least not yet ;7

I made it for fun after I scrapped 2 Vasudan fighters. I decided to make a weird looking Apollo bomber type. I then got bored with it and started other stuff instead.

Oh, wow, yesyesyesyesyes. We want it. ;7

I changed my mind - I want more stuff from you. ;)
Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Woomeister on December 30, 2002, 03:53:21 pm: Well I'll get back to it as soon as I can :)

Max decided to corrupt the scene file, but luckily I was able to export it as 3ds then reimport it into a fresh scene.
Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Goober5000 on December 30, 2002, 10:05:30 pm: That was soon! Yummy... :eek2: ;7

I don't think it would do to call this the Pegasus, though (even if we duplicate the name, "Pegasus" doesn't seem to fit a bomber). Can you get rid of the flying horse?

And can you do some more work on the cockpit area? It looks rather unfinished - kind of like a bunch of solar panels.

Thankee. :)

Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Woomeister on January 04, 2003, 03:15:44 pm: Well like the Mustangs I made it for fun/practice and so could release them myself if I want. But since I don't plan on doing interface art for the 3 ships, I'll leave it to the TVWP guys to release them.

Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Ypoknons on January 06, 2003, 08:18:49 am: In my opinion, one of your best models yet, Woomeister.... No offense intended...
Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Woomeister on January 06, 2003, 09:49:09 am: Non taken :)
I don't really make models anymore, except for my shielded Shivan station, all my recent models have gone to this campaign :D
I've converted 20 times (at least) the number of models I've made myself :)

It is my best Apollo type model, I've made a few like this and only this one has ever past the modelling phase.

Now if only I could complete one of these vasudan fighters...
Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Goober5000 on January 06, 2003, 10:23:13 am: Well, you do excellent work - whether it's converting or modelling from scratch. :nod:

(BTW, how are the rest of those conversions coming? :D)
Title: Major eyecandy
Post by: Woomeister on January 06, 2003, 10:33:51 am: I have a lot of conversions from OTT and other campaigns to do, as well as another 26 full ship selection animations to do for Inferno. I'll get to them eventually :)

For some reason canceling it and then bringing it back to life seems like it was designed to generate publicity.:doubt:

Anyways, if all goes well and keeps at the current speed, we should be done with the UW at teh latest before Easter.:D
