since i was in the mood :D

letsee, proper credit where due.

Volition, first of all for giving us a great game.
All the people on Hard-Light Productions for giving us great improvements to the game. Thanks to the coders of the SCP we now have the best space-sim engine.
All the people who made hi-poly models and hi-res textures for FS2, which i used in the making of this wallpaper.

Cinema4D 9.5, Photoshop CS2, trueSpace 6.6, POF-CS, ModelView and QVP programs used in the making of this.

cheers to all :)

woo... trying some stuff in Vue d'Esprit 5...

that program is the next most disgusting piece of crap after 3dsmax in my opinion, buggy, slow, and takes ages to render anything.

looks like i'll have to do this scene in some different ways via C4D... i have to figure out some TP magic first tho...

Vue D'esprit is great for some things, but can be temperamental. I use it a lot for my renders, but it's a takes a lot of practice to learn how to use it properly. Remember to do all test renders at preview quality, the AA routines on Vue are terrible, only use it for final versions ;)

Not sure, you'd have to ask Vasudan Admiral about that, certainly the Tyr Fighter (The Black one) was a 'mutation' of a texture I created myself. In fact, the Tyr was the first ever Mod I created for Freespace 2, about 3 and half years ago :)

this render was on preview quality :nervous:

but its slow as hell, and everytime i open the atmosphere editor, it crashes. i'll do the scene via C4D in a month tops.

its definitely the other ship
the texture is from bespin.  the bespin duel map in Jedi Academy uses that exact same texture

which texture on which ship?
Title: Re: Art or random insanity?
Post by: Flipside on June 12, 2006, 08:30:19 pm
Well, considering the texture used has no bearing whatsoever on the picture or the program it was rendered on I'll just say....

That's nice.

Edit : I think the ships been retextured by VA now anyway, that was rendered a good 12-18 months ago ;)
