Post by: aldo_14 on February 18, 2003, 03:41:43 pm

First time I've made and designed a model specifically for the source code, actually.... finally got the glows working, albeit i need to move a the eyepoints a bit.  I'm proud of this one.

The main ship in Achilles Heel, also cropping up as a bonus ship in Reciprocity.

[color=66ff00]I really like the ambient lighting in the cockpit, gives the ship more 'life'.

As always a "no' bad" piece of work Aldo ;)

good work man, all round cool ship

I like the ambient lighting and such, as well as your texturing style (very V like).

however, it kinda feels weird to have the cockpit be red. It makes me thing of evil and shivans and such, not really terran-ish. I realize it it probably just that way due to the red ambient (or the texture is that way since you intend to use it in mission with a red lighting scheme) but maybe you could tone it down a bit, it doesnt mesh all that well with the greys and borwns of the ship

again, very cool,the cockpit is just a minor thing

LOL!

Anyway, nice ship there. I especially like the headlights.

very nice ship, the headlights are an extra touch.  also adding to the cool-ness is the red.  even though it's slightly shivan, it still manages to look pretty cool.  IMO, it looks like the original apollo on crack.  the cockpit etc.  minus the x-prong thingy would yield a quasi-apollo.  good show!

There is one word to desribe this ship, but it can only be said if you are Teddy Roosevelt. "BULLAY"

ooo, lights!

Very good, but I have to agree with Bishop Gantry about the images - I can't see the bloody ship! Yeah, the lights stand out, and very impressive they are too, but it'd be nice to see the rest of it as well!

Cool, though.:yes:

I'm guessing the new source code allows those headlight-looking things, then? I'm a bit new at all this, but I didn't notice those in the game before.

The Source Code Project allows for quite a bit actually. Go to the SCP forum and check it out. Things like the headlights yes, as well as glowing textures and lots more.
