Title: Need a renderers' help please!
Post by: aldo_14 on October 14, 2001, 09:03:00 am
(dragonclaw and pez have already offered to help with the command briefing, but I didn't want to overburden them...)

I want someones' assistance to render (first) some techroom animations - mainly for the destruction of capella and the refugees, the rise of the corporate superpowers , and for the Nightmare species info (note-  I don't want any actual animations of the creatures, as no-one knows what they look like, anyway).

also, I'd like someone to do 1-3 quality renders (i.e. better than me!   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) ) with the new ships for some new loading screens and also for the website revamp i'm planning   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif).

(NB:  Pez and DC - if you weant to do any of this, then no probs - I'm just trying not to give too much to do to anyone in particular, and I've asked quite a lot of you already)

(NOTE: any cob format models requested will be provided )

Fair enough..... take a look at the website (sig), and tell me if there's anything you fancy rendering....

I'm definately adding a new loading screen for the mod, so i need something absolutely stunning for it  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif).

Current placeholder one is;
 (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/g.white19/placeholder.jpg) , so I know this works... I'm also going to try and revamp ther loading bar  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif).  May release the template files once I've tidied them up a bit - really easy to do this.

Very much liking the ships, but since FS is a space-based game... I can give you a new background fo the loading thing, how 'bout a little space tiff with some Gagani swooping in on a... whatever you use for a destroyer. It's not entirely clear from the page what specifically you need done, so let me know, meanwhile I'll work on a demo of the background... kin you send me the COBs?

Just give me the names of any ships you think you could use for a neat image  - you have full artistic licence here.   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

..but don't use the Gagana - i have a much better bomber almost done - about 1/2 days from full conversion   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)


 also have a better image for the loading screen at home now, I'll try and post it later    (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)... i'm also going to try and work on a new loading animation.

Pretty cool.

Are the COBs coming or should I just use stuff I make for your campaign? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

You have to tell me which specific models you want (e-mail, see siggy), becuase the bitmaps (especially the high-res fighter ones for the Peregrine and Vesuvius), are too big to send them all at once

How about that?
I have a higher quality version(this has quality loss cause of compression) if you want it.

Aldo why haven't I seen you on ICQ, I need to ask you questions about the command anis

oooooh...That is nice...... although the Gagana looks kinda crappy next to the newer ships (my fault)   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) .  good bump mapping, too.

If you send me the hi-res I can knock up a new loading screen - I definately like that one you've done   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

If I give you the Peregrine would it be possible to replace the Gagana with it?  (Peregrine has big 512x512 maps - plus its a much nicer model)

EDIT - on ICQ now - I sent you a message  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
