The full version just got ready (still a WIP, though, I plan to add more detail):

Spiffy!

It's a little underpopulated though...no ships.  Or people for that matter.

Of course, I didn't add them yet. ;)

And glad you guys like it.

Heh, you should put a ship we won't see until the last mission in there, somewhere, hiding.


The words I want to use to describe it, aren't in my vocabulary. So: Amazing, Beautiful, Stunning, Meep!, Meef!, Huzzah!, Gaaaaah!!!, and IWANTITGIVEITTOME!!!

Doing main-halls is the equivelant of engraving your cars hub-caps. The only time anyone is going to see them is when your car isn't moving:

shadows, dude. no ambient lighting, just light coming from the glowing like things everywhere. the contrast will make it look cool.

That would take forever to render, with that many lights. But man, would that look good...

Yep, we have many missions done, just not all of them. Why?

If you want to create real immersion on an expansion pack, you have to consider all aspects of the game. To do otherwise is sloppy, lazy, or plain old incompetent.

Who says there's any ambient lighting? There's over sixty lights on that scene, rendered with MAX's light tracer.

WOW!!!!

Please keep it on... I need to play that campaign!!!

Reminds me too of the Liberty Hangar in Wing Commander.

well then shadows, then. it just needs some contrast IMO

A hangar needs to be well lit. You'll be performing maintenance duties, preparing craft for launch, etc. so you can't afford to have heavily shadowed areas.

;)

Isn't it odd, to say the least, that people are asking for a lower quality campaign?

The mainhall is seen so often that it should be done well. Every time you load FS2 you see the mainhall. It's rather important.

That soldier needs some more detail to it, unless its going to be seen from far away, then it wouldn't really matter...
Title: And yet more stuff...
Post by: Woolie Wool on December 04, 2003, 10:22:51 pm
The shoulders of that armor are way too high and it must be uncomfortable and cumbersome unless you have your head attached to your chest and can levitate (Ithose boots don't look good for walking in).

Now lower the poly count, stick a jet pack on it, and turn it into a .pof. The Freespace universe would be a more fun place with zero G marines.

what about standard troops? the ones from that fs cutscene w/ the shivans
Title: And yet more stuff...
Post by: Rictor on December 06, 2003, 01:26:22 pm
Nice work man. Very nice.

The lighting and colours are excellent so far. So really, the only thing I could think to improve would be to stick some textures on there. Right now it looks to sterile, like the whole main hall just came off the assembly line.

Again, great stuff.

well the guy in the aquatain main hall looks similar to those designs, except he had a fuller helmet and the right shoulder plate was silver

this should go towards the FS:FPS project, or the thing sandwich is trying to make from it.
