Post by: Darkage on October 07, 2002, 01:27:33 pm: Marks beam has 2 tubes a internal and external. Change the internal surface to white and the other more solid green and you have a better FS2 like beam.

Fire up the Surface Editor. You'll see that each surface has a bump channel. You can load a bump map there, use a procedural, etc. :)

Post by: Redfang on October 08, 2002, 12:01:54 pm: That's really good. And some very good bump-mapping, not overused.

Awesome work, Ashrak. :nod:

:D

Aside from that, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! Finally someone has bothered to change the multi-turrets from their default straight-up orientation! :yes: :yes: ( :yes: )

:wtf: Where'd that third hand come from?? :nervous: :wtf:

mmhmm, someones having turret shaft envy.

I notice that alot of people are making their beam's particle glow lenseflairs... yet in the movie (fs2 endgame) the beam muzzle is actually a sphere of moving particles.

but still looks good... except for the lack of physical damage that beam could cause... no white core...

Haha Sandwich you can thank me for that... I edited that model long ago for a turn of the turrets, and I gave every one of my FS models to Ashrak, and thus he has a model with turned turrets. :p

The way I turned the turrets on that ship was bad though, they are sort of warped... I've found out a MUCH better way to do it however, and the way I do it now makes it REALLY easy to turn them in animations :D

Takes a bit of knowledge in modeller, and I'm not up to teaching u how to use modeller, too much crap in there. That area is strictly a learn-yourself area, because there's nothing tutorials can really do to help you there... except perhaps the more complex areas.
