I think you all can guess what this is. ;)

-
A real mainhall!:eek:
-
I dunno. It needs more details. If you like I could get...oh... nitpicky. ;)
-
Just why is it in wireframe mode?

To build up the suspense. :p
-
Are you still working on it or is it completely done?
-
Still working.
-
i know what this is, over exagurating.
-
Hm, why exactly?

Whoa. MT just moved to the top of my "most anticipated campaigns" list. :yes:
-
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.
-

I can see that it isn't finished but this is just awesome, why couldn't the fs2 mainhall be like this!!!
Good work Styxx :yes:

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!!!
-
Im still awaiting a good preview, like another cutscean, but thats just me, not telling anyone to make one, and nice work by the way m8
-
Excellent :yes:
-
Sweet.
-
Again, it isn't shameless if I highlight it. ;) Seriously, that's awesome work, Styxx.
-
what a nice surprise
good work Mr. Styxx
-
Yum :yes:
-
Seems like an aweful lot of work for such a small, inconsequential part of the campaign.
-
Reminds me of Wing Commander.
-
so, uh,... you got the missions done yet?
...
hey, uhm, what are you plan'n on doing with that large blunt obje...
/*THWACK!*/
-
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:
*HINT HINT*[/size]
-
*wishes he had the time to do stuff like that*
-
shadows, dude. no ambient lighting, just light coming from the glowing like things everywhere. the contrast will make it look cool.
-
sticks dude, thats awesome, can't wait to see it in main campaign.

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.
-
Lookin' good! :yes:
-
nice work StyXXX :)

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?
-
...erhm...an0n. It's still cool.
-
:yes:

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.
-
All bow to the might of Styxx!!! :D

*bows to the mainhallicious might of Styxx*

Another model to be featured on the hangar, WIP:

-
it looks like the GTVA mareen corps has learned a few lessos from that hall fight
-
Just imagine trying to salute while holding that gun in one hand...
-
I hope Terran armor never gets that overdone. It must be a ***** to walk with that.
-
Powersuit?
-
That soldier needs some more detail to it, unless its going to be seen from far away, then it wouldn't really matter...
-
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.

Yes, it will only be seen from far away.
-
most impressive indeed
-
what about standard troops? the ones from that fs cutscene w/ the shivans
-
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.

Those are over 30 years old. ;)
-
Wow...Thats older than i am o.O;
-
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
-
an idea:
this should go towards the FS:FPS project, or the thing sandwich is trying to make from it.
-
HE HAS NO HANDS! AHHHH! :lol: Lookin' good...I hate you...and admire you...and whatever other love-hate paradoxes you can come with.
