Re: A celebration of Freespace
Just do what he did, scale an asteroid model up in PCS2.

Oh, so that's the trick? Wouldn't that reduce the details significantly?

Yes.
If you're worried about that just use the BtRLterroids.

Re: A celebration of Freespace
And now for a lost episode from Wings of Dawn 2.





And now for some action







I dunno, I may personally release this since I did take the time to finish this thing even though these poor fellows were scrapped just about a month ago.

Does my asteroid look like it reduced its details significantly?
From what I understand, just increase the "Detail Distance" in ships.tbl.

I myself have no idea how to use FRED and/or PCS2 to do this.

First, use VPView extract the models from sparky_hi.vp (if I'm not mistaken) to the "models" folder, then:

The PCS2 build in Spicious' signature has transformation functions. You could use those.
When you open up the model, find the "transform" button on the top right.  Once in there you'll see how you can scale it along any or all axes.

Then watch as the model gets larger or smaller, depending on how you want it to be scaled.

Then save the model (e.g. Sathanas is labeled as "supercap.POF" or something like that, so if you want to make a supersized one, name it "Sathanas_Huge.POF" or something) into the "models" folder.

Then make sure you have already extracted ships.tbl into the "tables" folder. Duplicate the entry on the SJ Sathanas (if you plan to use the "Sathanas_Huge" model), then, in the .POF file entry, change the "supercap.POF" thingy to "Sathanas_Huge.POF". Then (optional) increase the "Detail Distance" of it so it won't appear bad. Of course, if you're really serious with it, you'll modify the hitpoints, weapons, etc.

The black ship (is it a ship anyway) reminds me strongly of Nero's ship in the new Star Trek movie :D (or, is it actually it?).

No offense, but the blue ship looks like it was made in MS Paint. Is it just Wings of Dawn 2, or is it that the modders didn't put that much effort into it?

Yay you finally finished the Hecatos!

That's the Hertak Armageddon. It actually...doesn't look like the Narada at all, it just kinda does from that angle XD

No offense, but the blue ship looks like it was made in MS Paint. Is it just Wings of Dawn 2, or is it that the modders didn't put that much effort into it?

Its just the color scheme being bright primary colors and glowy/shinyness.
The POF for it is 8MB.

Might it have ever occurred to you that perhaps, just maybe, someone may not be talented enough (yet) to do better?

Woaaaa! Shiny pics !
I can't really see anything on this dark and low-res laptop screen, but they sure are shiny.

Can we have some more info on that "lost WoD 2 episode" :P ?

Re: A celebration of Freespace
Those screenshots are great. I do have one small problem with the ship's colours, but given that it is WoD, I don't think it's an issue.

Spoiler:
Blue and yellow is incredibly contrasting, but I think the Strike Freedom has done that already, and I didn't complain about it.

Re: A celebration of Freespace
It looks like a Cyrvan vessel to me, so I'm not exactly complaining about the colors.  Space elves need over-decorated warships.

The upper part of the ships looks very impressive.  But not the lateral one, there is something in the texture I don't like and doesn't give THE cartoonish feeling. I think it's due to the hull plating. Perhaps with some desaturation with Post-processing will give a better result.

I wasn't sad to begin with, aside from being disappointed that you and Spoon haven't shown any pics of Cyrvan warships.

Be patient, the first Cyrvan warship is not yet in game.

Re: A celebration of Freespace
It doesn't look anything like the Narada in-game, it's just the way the angle line up.
