Title: UA Fail Cutscene Prewiew Shots (6 1024x768 jpegs)
Post by: Kazan on April 28, 2001, 09:00:00 pm
These are preview shots from the first section of the cutscene.. it will be a meshing of several parts.

Rightmost Sath engines box  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

You made this yourself? In trueSpace? And where did you get that planet map? That's like the best Earth map I've ever seen, incredible detail. I want it.

So I'm guessing this will be moving at some point. And since it's in the Fail branch, I'm guessing we're witnessing the end of Earth  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Incredible work.

i got the texture here: http://www.geocities.com/cnlpepper/ ("http://www.geocities.com/cnlpepper/")

i also have a devastated earth texture which i made.. it can use some touching up - like craters, etc.

you know, it looks a tiney bit dodgy & generic when all the engines have the same glow texture...

either flip it on some of them or use a different texture

Can you format it in Windows Media Player? Because quicktime screws it up. It tells me I'll have problems with the cutscene. You press play and you just hear the music.

The real cutscenes aren't going to be this res, right? FS2 needs a smaller one.

This is gouing to be a cutscene for his campaign, just like all those cutscenes in FS2. How would he distribute it? Well he would upload it to his site together with the rest of the campaign. I don't understand what you need a credit card for.

Exactly how big is this going to be?

Can it be available for download anywhere? Just in case I get a fast connection sometime  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Doubtful, given it's size with the cutscenes.

I assume we need to pay for the CD costs and shipping?

I would just put it up for download in 10mb chunks. Or 20mb, or 30mb if required. I can download 200mb in one sitting, but most people wouldn't.

Oh, I'm going to the Assembly 2001 LAN party (the biggest in Northern Europe, over 4000 people). They have incredibly fast connections there every year, even faster this year. Any chance of finishing this by August?  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Hello all, I noticed you are using the earth texture on my website.... that texture really isn't good enough for any decent render. I have a good 4096x2048 surface texture, with a good cloud map, diffuse map and specularity map.

My textures are based on freely avaliable textures I've just recoloured them for more realistic shading. I'm currently working on a set of 10000x5000 textures...these are *nice*...but require 512 Mb ram to load into lightwave! Talk about hammering the swap file...   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Have a look on my website ( http://www.geocities.com/cnlpepper ("http://www.geocities.com/cnlpepper") ) for an example of a reader with the 4096x2048 textures. If you want these textures give me and email and I'll send them to you...but be warned they are BIG.   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

My email is [email protected]

Hey Pepper, welcome to the HLP Forums.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

And... wow. Excellent work on those textures. When I saw this ("http://www.geocities.com/cnlpepper/EarthRender02.jpg"), I thought it was a photograph. Honest. Whoa.

for the one who have modems, do like me, use flashget (or go!zilla, or whatever). That's cool, and that's free.
