Explosions could be fixed, but otherwise one of the better renders I've seen.

thanky joo guys (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
and about those explosions: i took them directly from sparky.vp and put them on using the blending option "screen". isn't that how you are supposed to do it? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/icons/icon5.gif)

Yep, but they still don't look quiet right... the technique is good, now you just need to put it to good use (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

should i have put them in a different place or something?

Well let me put it this way, the planets being blown up yeah? so you want to make it look like it's getting blown up. You wouldn't have explosions like that, perhaps the surface would be cracking up... at some point I'll give it a go myself and try and prove I know what I'm talking about (because I'm not sure I do).
-
there was no taurets when vasuda was destroyed (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif). Nice pic anyway (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

That Vasudan scares me. That Vasudan scares me a lot.

Not necessarily. It'd make a good Vasudan Prime and Cygnus Prime, though.

What makes it look "off" is the scale. For an explosion on a planetary scale, there wouldn't be any noticable asymetricalness - on such a scale the flaming clouds of gas would spread out in a spherical fashion.

unless where you had large surface features such as mountains, which would make the blast look like the Fs2 shockwave bitmap.
a planet explosion in MAX is pretty simple, shockwave primitive expanding with a purple noise and a corresponding opactiy map with some appropriate ANIMATED glow effects (yes, you can animate them in 3dsmax too).
The planet could be done with the particle array system and a volume light that flares up and then dies down.

Plus, it would blow up in a humongous blast, not a few wimply little explosions. I'll have an example out sometime this week (I'm starting to LIKE rendering in RDS... even if everything i see is yellow!)

Very very VERY VERY VERY[/b] nice!

no, the planet is not blowing up. it's a bunch of explosions from ships ala Freespace2 beginning cutscene.

it needs shivens and beams and planitary surfaceses melting into an uninhabable glass craters, and a typhon getting split in two.

it's not really supposed to be an action shot, just a pissed off vasudan and a planet that would pull off as Vasuda Prime.
-
Heres the real important question... Where'd you get the vasudan from? The pic that (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/v.gif) released? You know... those hella big ones?

It seems like everytime I see a Lexx episode they atleast blow up one planet. Weird show.

Who cares if they blow up planets or not?

umm just in case you guys didn't see my other post (which it doesn't seem like you did) it is not exploding. those are explosions from other ships fighting around the planet like in the beginning cutscene of FS2 when the 3 anubis fly by.

Do you mean the old one or the new one? The original Zev was hot but the new one is kinda... not so hot (definitely not ugly though).
-
new one is hotter. you're wrong so ha.

Fair enough (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
Funny how we get from Vasudans to Zef...

Hey, if either one of them walked in the room youre in, youd probably drop whatever you were doing and drool wouldn't you?

Good point, but if it came to selecting one the original is still the best for me (although some of the other girls in the program were good, like that girl from the episode "Pattern Grows" I think it was.
-
Nah, I like the new one...
thank god she still doesnt look like the Zev before she got turned into the love slave....

Well, Carl is Shivan isnt he? Maybe thats what Shivan women really look like (and that would explain all the ugly people in the world). Theyve been among us for far longer than we thought.

Doesn't Lexx have to? I mean, to like eat and stuff. I've only seen one ep, and it looked kind of twisted to me too.
Carl's render -> planets blowing up -> Lexx -> Zev. The entire HLP Forums is just like a glorified Word Association. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

no a three way with me, Zev, and Xev.

That would be wierd... a Shivan doin it?
I have only one question...
How?
------------------

you don't wanna know. i could show you pictures, but then you wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

i wonder if any of you visit hentai porn sites...

theyre friggin cartoons...

Can we try and put the topic a little bit more... on topic? Not that some kinds of pr0n aren't bad, but this really isn't the place and I'll have to 0wn the topic if we keep on talking about it (not matter what the context- Shivan, Vasudan OR Terran (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif))
-
yeah, back to Xev....
*eyes glaze over*
------------------
You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on.

err this topic isn't about Xev... at least it isn't supposed to be.

I think its a little late for that now...
