Naturally, there are Array™ (//"http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/hosted/array/imgarchive.php?page=0") versions of all of them. Comments welcome, though I'm aware there are several Crap™ elements in each.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

SWEET! I love the way you balance light and shadow in them. It manages to capture that special feel that black & white photos have, but in TechniColor™!   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

I like a lot Rosetta, tho as you used greek font, you could have translated the sentence (well, rosetta stays rosetta, but stone is "litos" -lambda, stressed iota, tau, omicron, sigma-) always makes cool to put something people can't get, and you can pretend you understand  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

...actually, I've never tried. I set the scene and get everything to render as objects so that special stuff (like weapons) can be added individually and independently of each other. The biggest scene I've ever rendered was probably about 25,000 polys, but even then Spire was designed to split it all into chunks anyway.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Thanks dude, I thought that was really a fitting for render for #100. But I can't do black and white ones all the time, they be too special for that  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

No... but that's besides the point...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

I didn't realize that Alcyone was the class of ship... It's also a star system... (according to squadwar, my squad controlled it... briefly)
Title: Civilisation; Rosetta; Alcyone. (Renders.)
Post by: Shrike on September 02, 2001, 04:26:00 pm
Actually, I did know Alcyone was the name of a star.  I didn't know that it was used in Squadwar.

Yeah, I forget the sector number, but me, my former squadmate Raven, and Zero... (Yeah, I know it sounds like the SOC wing, but Zero never played the FS2 campaign, his name was from Gundam Wing... that looney) had control of it for about a year... until they reset the standings...

Impressively red.   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif)

Not enough shadows for my tastes, but cool.

Actually, I did this sucker in blue first. Changed it to red when I realised how it conveyed the sense of urgency and danger better. And Shivans winning is always better in red.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Anyway, I wanted it to be a low contrast pic, as was shown by the huge but not particularly bright halo on the star. Which makes everything else low contrast.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Well, yes. If that's anything, it's red and low-contrast. But in a nice way  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
