Title: Shakedown Cruise (Render)
Post by: Ryx on November 11, 2002, 04:18:47 pm: (http://w1.520.telia.com/~u52019065/Render/Tenny1600b-t.jpg) (http://w1.520.telia.com/~u52019065/Render/Tenny1600b.jpg)

A little heavy on the bump-maps, but decent otherwise. I added a wee bit of Volumetric lighting. Rendered in MAX with Brazil™.

Great pic, Ryx. now all you need is some other capships in there to give it that authentic battlegroup feel. Those new AWACS will do. ;)

Post by: StratComm on November 11, 2002, 09:31:45 pm: Definately a destroyer, maybe superdestroyer. I like those turrets, though they don't wuite fit with FS, and the ship's overall design though. I just looks really long for some reason.

Reminds me of space in I-war2. the systems had all kinds of crazy colors. :D

As in edit the image with the text or... ?

Since it's now a big fleet, I suppose 'Shakedown cruise' might have to change to something like "5th Fleet On Patrol". hmm... Ideas?

Oh, and Stop reading my mind! *cracks skull open and starts looking around Mik's spyware* :D

I meant name the ship, but putting a title for the pic itself inside the letterbox framing couldn't hurt. Of course, now that I think about it, there's no letterbox framing, that's just a long aspect render, isn't it? Well, a title somewhere in one of the corners (preferably the upper right or lower right) would be good.

PS, the pic is gone!

Post by: Stryke 9 on November 12, 2002, 10:31:40 am: Cool.

You know, I'm looking at this on possibly the crappiest monitor I've ever seen, only works in 8bit or 16bit color, and it actually looks freaky cool. Try converting it to 16b .gif and see if I'm right...

Title: Shakedown Cruise (Render)
Post by: SlipStream on March 16, 2003, 01:33:26 am: Ummmm. would it be ok if I could use that for a sig on my post at Kiith_Paktu ?

They really like both fleet movements. But the one here I like.
Would it be ok ?

If it is ok if i use it, is there a way to make the small picture 2 times bigger for my sig ?

Not the full size picture of course :)

Go ahead. Just click the pic for a hi-res (1600x1200) pic. Resize that, :)

:wtf: You want a 4800x3600 render; 1600x1200 (http://w1.520.telia.com/~u52019065/Render/Tenny1600b.jpg) is usually enough for most people.

Title: Shakedown Cruise (Render)
Post by: Stryke 9 on March 18, 2003, 06:20:15 pm: Do I need to point out here that if you enlarge something 3X it's obviously going to come out either blurry or pixelated, or would that be stepping on Zylon's toes?

Wait a minute... this is for a sig? You evil, evil man.
Title: Shakedown Cruise (Render)
Post by: ZylonBane on March 18, 2003, 06:39:27 pm: Hell, look at the size of the image he's newbishly tried to put in his sig already!

Attention whore, anyone? :doubt:
Title: Shakedown Cruise (Render)
Post by: Stryke 9 on March 18, 2003, 06:49:37 pm: Eh, that's not so bad. An image that'd be about 1Mb and would take up more than three screenfuls of space would be.

Just what are you getting at ?.

Ryx, see the size of my Fleet Logo you see that ZylonBane put up.
I need 2 times bigger.

The other is too big.

I need to get rid of that logo below my name.
Title: Shakedown Cruise (Render)
Post by: Stryke 9 on March 19, 2003, 01:33:07 am: Ach, you're talking about the thumbnail. Just shrink the full image, dude. You're still evil for inflicting this as a sig on people, but that's your business and I'm assuming they don't get hacky when they get annoyed.

If you're serious, what you need is a beating.

But maybe that's just me.

Post by: Ryx on March 19, 2003, 01:27:48 pm: Just take the big pic and resize.
If your going to have a pic in your sig, it probably shouldn't be bigger than a forum banner (here @ HLP).

Post by: NeoHunter on March 20, 2003, 06:46:49 am: Actualy, a picture in your signature is going to be torture to those with 56k modems or worse.

I say do it!!!:D
