Title: For Sandwich and Su-Tehp
Post by: Galemp on October 05, 2005, 09:32:59 pm

You folks remember when we had this discussion? I've finally gotten around to experimenting with it.
Please excuse the cruddiness. It's just a test, really; not all the blocks converted and I didn't want to exhaust myself debugging this model.
Anyway.

Midtown Manhattan and the Empire State Building, compared with a Deimos.

Empire State as seen from Broadway. Those two tiny engine glows in the middle are my fighter.

An Orion dominates Harlem. It could comfortably fill Central Park.

SoHo and the Financial District...

South end of the island, and the bow of the Colossus.

The skyline silhouetted against the great warship.

If there's enough interest I'll try harder to complete the model and release it. It could be great for comparing the scale of your ships to reality, and adjusting your FOV to comfortable levels.
And if anyone wants to say they made the whole city spaceworthy and launched it into orbit to keep it safe from the Shivans, well, that's their choice. :D

I just see lights and ships.

This thing needs a gamma alteration.

Better lighting is A-1 Supar. :(

Could make an atmospheric skybox, so there would be blue sky? :)

But great idea! FreeSpace 2: Sim City :p

No problems with gamma here.  That is an amazing idea :D

Bear in mind that these are the first test screenshots from the first test mission from the first test POF. :blah:

Is it now a delta hub?

Whoa that conveys scale PERFECTLY. Now I love the Orion even more.

Now I like the Orion and the Colossus even less--and Manhattan even more. :)

So...do you think you could mount a BFRed on top of the ESB? :p

Hehehe... nice. Vewey nice. ;) But remind me... I recall many discussions on the FOV and scale and such, but did we have any specific discussion about putting skyscrapers in the engine?
