Title: Rendered picture from yours truly
Post by: Pez on March 07, 2001, 08:28:00 pm

I finally finished this pic. Have been working on it for a while but never had the time to finish it up until now. I have added something to the stars and made the pics a little brighter than I use to do.

  (http://home.swipnet.se/~w-81377/fs2/knossosravana640.jpg)  

If you think the quality is bad on the picture above is cause I turned down the quality. And as always you can get the 1024x768 here (//"http://home.swipnet.se/~w-81377/fs2/knossosravana1024.jpg"). And if someone want higher resolution (1600x1200 is maximum though) just contact me.

Wow, nice work!

Whats your technique on engine glows?  Overlay of a bitmap or just some spray paint effects?

For the engine glow on fighters I make a mesh that looks like the engine glow. Lay on a thruster texture and a opacity map. I add some meshsmooth. Then I render the pic and lay on a bitmap on the engine glow in Photoshop.

I tried to make the glow in 3DS Max but I haven't been so successful so far.

The engine glows on the capital ship are done with 3DS Max.

This one's very nice. That Aeolus is screwed, though. GTC Vigilant? Or whatever it was called?  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I agree. One blast from all four forward beam cannons on the Ravana destroyer and the Aeolus is toast.

In fact, the first Ravana took out both the Lysander and the Actium. Yes, that Aeolus is toast  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

It's an Aeolus cruiser. But I forgot to mirror the texture. No biggie though.

Actually, in real life, I think the Aeolus cruiser's captain and the Myrmidon pilots will run first. They wouldn't stick around long enough to see what can four beam cannons do.
