'Not only screenshots'?

Not only in-game screenshots, I mean.

Ah, I see.

Neat.  Raising the benchmark again then, eh Styxx?

You should see it animated! (yes, I'm using the new beam codes from the SCP)

:D

Whoa... *swallows hard*

Those designs, they're very distinctive, I like. :)

Post by: Levyathan on October 01, 2003, 07:36:36 pm

Stylish, I'd say.

That blast doesn't look proportionate to that beam... But I loooove the beam. :D

Post by: Styxx on October 01, 2003, 07:42:06 pm

Those shots have the standard FS2 blasts, not the new MT blasts. :D

And some screens with the new Overexposure build (don't look so great, but you can see the potential of the effect):

Whoah, that third shot looks... weird.

Title: Okay, so you wanted updates?
Post by: Styxx on October 01, 2003, 07:49:34 pm

Yeah. It's a nice effect, but needs a lot of improvement before it can be actually used.

Post by: Taristin on October 01, 2003, 08:19:56 pm

I wish it ran on my box... :(

Title: Okay, so you wanted updates?
Post by: Setekh on October 02, 2003, 02:42:56 am

Potential is definitely the word. But there's a lot wrong with the current over-exposure doo-dad thing, including the res-scaling artefacts, and the fact that hardly anyone can run it properly. ;)

But I'm sure Sticks can do something with it.

Fun, innit?

Did you render the beam bitmaps in max, BTW?

Title: Okay, so you wanted updates?
Post by: Taristin on October 02, 2003, 04:45:50 pm

...wait. We can use ani's for beam textures too?

Title: Okay, so you wanted updates?
Post by: Styxx on October 02, 2003, 05:34:28 pm

Dunno about ANIs for beam textures. I'm guessing that's a no. And I've done the beam textures on Photogenics. :)

Here's a pic of the new damage effect - strangely enough, it ends up too bright in-game. Gotta tweak it a bit, probably.

Title: Okay, so you wanted updates?
Post by: Taristin on October 02, 2003, 06:15:08 pm

Subspace beams?

Title: Okay, so you wanted updates?
Post by: Styxx on October 02, 2003, 06:19:53 pm

Nope. The animation has a swirly electrical effect, but it's lost with the added brightness. I'm trying to fix it...

Title: Okay, so you wanted updates?
Post by: Levyathan on October 02, 2003, 07:05:22 pm

Yep, those things are definitely cool.

Title: Okay, so you wanted updates?
Post by: Styxx on October 02, 2003, 08:38:53 pm

You should see this one in motion (and I'll need a modification to the code to allow more beam sections, 5 is too few to get the effects I want...). :D

Title: Okay, so you wanted updates?
Post by: Taristin on October 03, 2003, 07:24:21 am

dude...

Title: Okay, so you wanted updates?
Post by: phreak on October 03, 2003, 09:16:16 am

modifaction of the number of beam sections would be trivial. its just a define.  the problem is the code may assume it to be 5 in some places.

Title: Okay, so you wanted updates?
Post by: Styxx on October 03, 2003, 10:04:59 am

Yeah, I know. I'll try it out next week, probably.

Oh, right.  Never 'eard of that, to be honest - had to search google.

VERY nice :)
Can't wait until this gets out, those screens look awesome *drools*

That impact effect was just like what I wanted to have in Inferno...

I thought this was dead. Nice to see I was mistaken. As far as I'm concerned this always has been the campaign.

....can anyone make an estimate time remaining for the whole campaign????

Title: Okay, so you wanted updates?
Post by: Levyathan on November 01, 2003, 06:48:55 pm

If my memory's right, the original release date was somewhen between then and the next ice age. It may have been postponed.

Title: Okay, so you wanted updates?
Post by: Setekh on November 01, 2003, 10:35:00 pm

Indeed, but it'll be worth it. ;)

Welcome to HLP, wolfdog.

I'm impressed much :eek:!! Favourite electrical effect on screen with Ravana and this (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/staff/sticks/pics/screen16.jpg) really cool effect... how to get it ? :D

BTW. This topic and forum is need to reactivate :). Any news or updates in Machina Terra?
