I made six 'red' nebula images with Photoshop 7.0. I hope you like it. Any critics are acceptable.

The flames! They burn! :shaking:
They don't look so bad except that they are like 5 times as bright as they need to be. Tone them down a bit.
-
Having a cloer look at it:
Really, it is really too bright. It really looks like being a fire.
Awaiting for further posts so changes may take effect.
-
are those flames
-
No, that's a nebula fog from quite a distance. :)
-
Neat. does need toned down quite a bit though - possibly make it a bit darker so as to appear a bit less opaque?
-
It looks really fake. Tone it down a lot.
-
As said above you need to tone them down. But they look pretty cool in a weird kinda way but not as cool as my mighty fire nebula (http://home.swipnet.se/~w-81377/fs2/arcthumb.jpg)

That's VERY cool, FreeTerran.

Yeah but the real fire nebula actually looks like fire. Yours looks more like red-tinted multicolored blobs, so I don't think that brightness is a factor there. The screenshot says it all; Pez's background looks like it would produce a bright orange light on the sides of ships facing them, where as yours just look like they are just there. But an arcadia in front of them and see for yourself. Yours will look much better toned WAY down.

You haven't seen The Array........................................
:blah: :nervous:
EDIT: Or the models for OTT?
-
No, I abandoned playing mods after Derelict. I couldn't image how the other campaigns are if you are calling that bugtower as 'the best'
-
c'mon, FT. Those are so easy to make... :p
I like mine better. (http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/us/images/mods/snipes/Background.jpg)

Oh ... man. That's HUGE. Isn't 1024x1024 the max FS can accept? Or is it an SCP trick?
-
These are even darker ....

It can accept twice that, I think, but not my file's res. Still, I think I may try it anyway. :p

you're not forgotten, but you're not the best :D
take that, evil admin!!!
"runs"

Watch it, your name will be back to Venom and your profile locked before you know it :devil:
Just joking... but you're right, I'm not the best. I do try though :)
-
LOL Well, backgrounds are what work for you, they are still too glowy for my tastes, but I've always bee more of a fan of subtle :)
Oh yes, and Kalfireth, why do you have the System Mechanic symbol as your Avatar? ;)
Flipside :D
-
And better yet, why is it hosted at th3b4r? :p
-
Nico???
Quite some changes can take place while one is away for a couple of days.
BTW Setekh, even if not no.1 is still one of the most talented render artists - after all his stuff is quite different from Ven..err...Nico's and Turnsky's drawings -, and defenitly one with the greatest on-line galery of his work.

Freespace should be able to take the max texture size of your gfx card. However its not going to run terribly fast with too many textures that size.
-
Kalfireth, you're really good, you just slipped my mind for some reason, don't know why.:)

Because 3DAP kicked me from their hosting plan some time ago for doing.. naughty things :)
And it's a system mechanic symbol because I like it!

:nervous:
I wish I'd been rendering for the past year and a half, my technique would have developed even more. :)

At least now you should be able to assign some time to it if you desire.

See you had to take a year and a half off so that my modelling skills could catch up. Now with the power of my models and your renders, we can rule the universe as... um... well we'll figure that out later. ;)

It's a zip. Do I have to include a stars.tbl? :nervous:

In a week or so, I've gotta start making arrangements with you. Then, gentlemen, we shall go and do great things. :D
Does it need a stars.tbl to work? If so, include it, TopAce, and I'll upload it to the mod database for you. :)

Ships.tbl included. Same link.
