Been following progress on these for awhile; they're both looking spectacular.  I'm glad Freespace 1 is getting the attention it deserves upgrade wise (this among other things).

Awesome work on the Mainhalls, keep it up!  :yes:




Too bad, so sad. You could see the barrel texture way back on page 4 and nothing was said then and as such texture replacement is now out of the question.
Yeah I personally don't care either way, I was just saying I see where Galemp comes from.

also the wires are too thick  :nervous:

Also, your naked people are ugly.

 :nervous:


They get boobs later.  :P

No worries, Mike, I just hadn't seen a render that hueg before, so I didn't notice what had been done. Great job.

I LIKE that floor! :nod:

But it'll be a pain in the ass for engineers and medics to move roll cars across those gaps ;)

The overall textures are simply awesome! :)

That floor looks almost slippery. But it is really looking good. I think the wires are the right thickness as well. :nervous:

Once you get rid of the human placeholders, it'll be a whole new level of mainhallawesome.

Yeah, the gaps are a compromise. If I make them smaller (and more realistic), you have a hard time seeing them. In that way it ends up looking less realistic actually.

The original sports a decent chunk of reflectivity, which is what I added. That's what causes it to look that glossy. Personally, I like it because it helps the Bastion feel newer than the Galatea.

The reflections of the red lights? Definitely a departure from the original that is nothing but upgrade.

Check the original, it has a blue and purple color scheme in its lighting and I mimicked that.

I was wondering about that. Why do hangars like strongly saturated blue/pink lights? Starcraft II's armory does the exact same thing, which looks terribad in any graphics settings except Ultra.

 
The lights under the fighters do seem more red to me in the original, instead of the pink in this one...

This might be a bit late, but as I just saw it now...

I'd recommend that you model the opened cockpit of the Medusa much in the manner that you'd see a helicopter cockpit, where the frame is fixed but has hinging doors upon it. To illustrate, refer to this model of the Cobra:



Again, this is a bit late, but I think it would do well to have the changed in a manner like this. A canopy as massive as the Medusa's would simply not operate like that!

Video looks awesome!  Damn, it's a shame that this will have to be stretched out for widescreen resolutions, unless that has been fixed and I am just oblivious...

Interface graphics come in two resolutions. 640x480 and 1024x768. You can fake widescreen by using an image that is compressed horizontally, but you can't use something that has a native widescreen resolution.
