Your just jealous (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

i cant see the thrusters, hence he hasn't shown them, unlike others (no names mentioned (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)) who seem to add engine glows regardless of the camera position (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

note how he hasn't fallen into Lord Lens Flare of PH's trap... its not needed, hence he hasn't added it (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

And thanks to the rest of you for all your compliments, I must say this is the friendliest forum I've been to in a long while.

Post by: Fineus on March 01, 2001, 10:31:00 am: I was talking to Setekh once about a massive pic (I mean about 5000x5000) kinda like the largest fleet battle you can ever imagine, but I think that kind of project would take over a month to complete properly...

Post by: NeoHunter on March 01, 2001, 09:48:00 pm: Most probably the computer will explode during the rendering process. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

But really! 5000x5000 is way too extreme. Cut it down to 1024x864.

Not necessarily, not the way we do it (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Post by: Fineus on March 02, 2001, 12:15:00 pm: Yeah, we both had to work out our own way of doing things to overcome problems with certain things...

5000x5000 wouldn't even be viewable in an image program without serious problems, & even with jpg compression, your looking at over 3mb worth of image (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

btw, i dunno where YOU came from (j/k), but me & Ed were talking about a fleet image @ about 1280x600... GTVA & Shivans (wit Iceni in tow) heading for a titanic battle...
