After a bit of FREDding, photoshopping, and O_o ing....I present to you, a cheap imitation of some sort of art :p
(warning: 200+kb in size...I know...I suck)

why? It shows that not always an expensive 3d program is required to create a good looking wallpaper. Game engine can do the job as well ;)

hehe...was actually supposed to be a cheap imitation of a comic, as the next bit will probably detail (to be done soon)........
:p
-
Well I don't really get the comic bit (yet) but it does look pretty good. :D
-
I am looking forward to it
-
Looks good Singh :)
-
yay! positive feedback! must mean im doing something right :D
Here's the next bit. Warning - this one's about the same size (200+kb). I still gotta figure out how to reduce the size, or else i'm going to run out of webspace real soon.
http://anandraj.sphosting.com/comic2.jpg
Also attached is a picture of Ashoka Station. Created entirely out of FRED and nothing else :)
(http://anandraj.sphosting.com/ashoka.jpg)
-
I want to see where the story goes. :)
*Waits for someone to use FS2 to make their own version of Red vs Blue :D*
-
hmm... I could give you a few mb of webspace if you are in need ;)
Btw, since you are using jpg compression: why not use a lower quality setting?
-
im thinking of doing that. But im not too sure how much of a quality loss i'm willing to give up, especially since I also want to show off the ub3rness of the SCP :D
Edit: and hell yes, a few Mb of webspace would be nice! :D
-
we can surely figure something out ;)
Btw, as you see in my first thread in the art forum I am also using the highest quality setting ;)
-
hmm...just realized that hte first one is nearly an MB in size. ugh, I dont have the source-images to remake it, so im afraid it'll have to stay that way, sorry :( :(
Thanks to Peter for pointing it out and giving me some tips! :D

That is a friggin great idea :nod:
Singh: Great comic, cant wait for the next :)
-
thats is a hole LOT of beams lol :D
-
The next one will be up later today. I'm considering keeping each section as seperate images, since I dont have access to photoshop atm (on duty clerk, so im stuck here 24 hrs), but we'll see about that.
Also, any opinions of Ashoka Station? I need feedback on that, as I'll be releasing it for use shortly. If it looks Ugly, realize that it's meant to, as it's supposed to be scrapped together from old bits and pieces, as how a civvy or pirate station would be. :)
-
I think the station looks awesome! A great feel of something just cobbled together from scrap.
-
Here's the next one.
Its 80kb in size, somewhat of an improvement. But do realize, its utter and total crap quality in terms of graphics, since I only had imaging and paint to work with atm. Also, apologies for the shoddy in-game shots, they were taken on the fly as I rushed off to work.
http://anandraj.sphosting.com/comic3.jpg
comments?
edit: come on man.....something........anything......:nervous: its soo quite in here
-
That's a lot of ships. What'd the poor pilot do, make a pass at the transport captain?
Nice comic, although you might want to run the thing through a grammer/spell-checker.
-
Which is something I dont exactly have atm :P
But thanks nonetheless. Let's see if i cant find some free software online then, looks like I'll be needing it......
I'm not too sure; what do you guys want?
RedvsBlue comic 'ala FS2, or in-depth FS2-based story? I can go either way from here, but im leaning more to the latter (since I've already got one and my sense of humour sucks)......
-
Dude, this rocks - I love it. It totally fulfils what I think makes a good render - doesn't need to be flashy but what it does do, it executes very very well. Most importantly of all, the story behind it is awesome. Fantastic work. :)
-
Here's the next one. 164kb in size, only 4 pieces. G'night for now.
http://anandraj.sphosting.com/comic4.jpg
-
You know what Singh? When you've finished with the comic, you could probably get a FREDer to make this into some kinda mini-campaign...
:yes2::):yes:

Go something serious, but make sure you put them onto some sort of webpage at some point, so they'll be easy to find/navigate through in a few weeks when his has been bumped off to page three :)
-
ummm...........webpage?? :nervous:
*hides
ooookay then..we'll see about that. Better get back to FREdding this today first...........:nervous:
-
Fantastic second batch. :) Consider having more action-based shots or changing the scenery during the conversation between the GTVI transport and this pilot - such a static scene is far more suited to another medium, like prose. ;)
-
new one. 300kb, sorry.
cant post much. Idiot brother behind my back.
http://anandraj.sphosting.com/comic5.jpg
-
By Webpage, I just mean
1 Page = 1 image, a link to the next one, a link to the previous one and a link home.
Nothing fancy, but it beats trawling through the forum by a long shot :)
-
my bandwidth is on the limit - which means that no more till I can figure out someplace to stick these......

Ok......so that solves the webpage thingy (if I can figure it out). But webspace is still going to be an issue :nervous:
Tolwyn: that offer for webspace still open? :nervous:

That's my fault. The screenshots were all hopeless and the FREDding was partially shoddy in this case (that, and I hate time limits). As for action shots.......umm, expect the first few to be generally 'not-so-actiony' till I can get the hang of this :/

boss, i cant seem to download that application from your website. ie cannot seem to connect to that file and it gives me an error :/

How'd they get a lock on a Peg? Otherwise, good, though he does say "You don't have to tell me twice" twice in two frames. Pet peeve of mine is all :)

the first one is pretty much a lucky shot kinda thing.... :p
the second one.....that one slipped by me, sorry :/ :p
-
forgot to mention this.
This little thingy's going to need a name sooner or later....anyone have ideas/suggestions, since im drawing up a complete blank here.

These look awesome. I was also kind of wondering about how they got a lock on a stealth fighter that is completly invisible to sensors at point blank range........

Incidentally, was The END of the World one of your influences?
NTF fighters: WTF mate? ^^;
NTF command: **** **** fire ze missiles !!

Tis a mystery that will never be revealed....till a later date at least :p

Access to Sphosting.com has been disabled because:
• You did something you were not meant to or there was an error.
-
erm :nervous:
dont ask me. YOU did it :p
small question on squad logos: mine keeps on showing up on the fighter with a green edge around it. anyway to reduce the effect or remove it at all? For ref info, go to the 'Bit of boredom' thread a bit down from this one. The logo is the 43rd Grey Ghosts one I put up in the picture :/
-
Heh...I just realized.
"You did something you were not meant to."
What kind of error message is that?
-
Singh, make sure all the parts of the image that are supposed to be transparent are transparent. (They must be EXACTLY 0 255 0 if the texture uses green transparency)
Other than that it might be a problem with the placement of the insignia on the model itself.

I'll give it a try. The model in question here is an Uly.
Just a question, but any actual suggestions to improve this so far? Constructive criticism is definately appreciated (especially from the masters at this) :D
oh, and if you mention a spellcheck...realize I dont have one :P
-
next one, not much, but I need to head to bed and FS2 wont co-operate :p

I think that ship should be smoother... Hiigher poly and the like... If it was like rounded off a little better, it'd rawk, IMO. :nod:
-
Why don't you take it and subdivide it a few times and throw it back in FS than? :p
-
Because it's not an Anuket! *smacks DC*

Eagerly awaiting the next installment. :) This one was mucho exposition...

-
Very nice Singh!!! :)

umm...does this mean i should be going on the running? :shaking: :nervous:
-
Nah. We're not releasing any for a while cause we like torturing the general population of the board by making them wait :D
But seriously your composition skills seem to be a lot better than mine (Oooooh. Explosion. *Presses PrintScreen button*) :D
-
:lol: Karajorma

Wait a tick... that's the low poly Myrm... Do it again with the high poly one!
-
Mmmgh. I completly missed that thread, and the first pages don't work :(
-
Which? The Myrm one?
http://3dap.com/hlp/hosted/14_year_war/Raa/fighter2t-05.zip
For a little while...

Excellent work Singh.

Thank you. I'll be using the Myrm quite often, so this is going to be a huge help :)
-
sectorfiles has gone down, which means this thing is going to need a new home somewhere :/
anyone have a clue where I can find good web/image hosting? :/
-
Sectorfiles hasn't gone down as such - it's hit the bandwidth limit.
-
It's seeing a lot more action than usual, partly due to a certain 45 Meg video, which is, admittedly, excellent ;)

Whats there to say? It's great, as usual Singh, but theres only so many ways, so many times it can be said before it gets repetetive :D (at least, thats my excuse :nervous: )
Suffice to say, I'm eagerly awaiting more of your fantastic work :yes2: :)

Beautiful work. I just blew an hour reading through all this stuff. :)
-
Just to prove that I have been working on this (darn that 5 Frames per 5 minutes!) a little teaser:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/anandraj/warp.jpg)
-
Great work Singh! :yes: Kinda makes me itchy to get back to my own toonz. :D Plus you have a great plot going. Keep it up.

D'oh! I missed this. Looks awesome, as usual :yes2:.
So, when do you think the next one'll be complete? ;)

Sweeeet ! :yes: ;)

Awesome. Now this is a story, this is art. :)
-
oh yes - before I forget again. Anyone have a few more head anis to spare? I could use something more than just 7 Terran Pilots and a few Vasudan ones :D ;)
-
This one took me all afternoon to prepare. darn tough getting screenshots from battle scenes :/

And another one:
http://www.swooh.com/peon/Singh/comic_images/comic19.jpg
-
New comics: :D :yes:
But what's up with the last frame of 19? :(
-
crap. looks like it didn't save properly (or I need more sleep :/)
will edit it and update once its done.
-
updated and done.
-
This stuff seriously rules. As for head ANIs, go ask around at the hosted projects - I think I remember seeing new heads on some of the Inferno screens. Worth asking for, if you explain what you need them for. ;)
-
Very very gripping! Great work!

IIRC inferno has new-but-static head anis.
-
Static Anis are even better - since the final images and comics are static (for now at least) it'll just be easier to take it in :)
