Added videopost glow to thrusters & also the paricles.  Cheers Venom ;)

typo in the thumbnail name ( recing )
otherwise, it's very nice, but you should consider tweaking the thruster flames. Giving them a videopost glow improves greatly their look :nod:

Hmmm...your particles look weird, make them fire-ish and add a glow to them.

Otherwise the pic looks good.

And you say you need a background maker :rolleyes:

I like it man, how did you do that big glowy thing?

'bout 5 lights, with Videopost gas inferno and VP electirc inferno effect ontop of each other.  Still pretty crude, though - i'm only now beginning to understand Video Post.  and it's too bright for use ingame, IMO, because that doesn;t fit in with the normal backgrounds.


BTW, the partlicles are from a planaer superspray with a cutsom material.  but the self-illumination didn't work too well.

It's good, but I don't like the particles.
 
I probably noticed them because I use 800x600 on this crappy monitor. :D

There are similar settings unde lens effect glow in VP. That should fix those thrusters, I think. Try it. :nod:

i had a wee twiddle earlier.... but truth be told, I'm happy with this result.  it's not strictly FS2-ish, but I like it.  Shiny things are good. ;)

Normally I don't pick the highest option, but this is really nice :nod:
