Title: Another Starfighter render
Post by: jonskowitz on November 25, 2001, 04:27:00 am

Mostly, I'm playing around with lighting and texturing techniques.  I was inspired to do this one while looking around after we nuked the chinese cruiser 'Badi Dea' and her escorts.  Just happened to look in the right direction and saw a scene similar to this one.

------------------
I told you that It (//"http://www.jskgames.homestead.com/files/home.html") would be done by November, well, mostly anyway...

Neat...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) Pretty plain, but the quality is high. It's a wonder that some people (eg. yourself  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)) can do so many things - model, texture, create the concepts for this entire Mod - and yet you can also render, which is an entire art in itself (I should know..!). My congrats to you, keep it up.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

It's not that hard to do many things - you just need to learn  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Nice looking render - the models are really good quality, and the lighting works well - well done  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

This cockpits are neat, great maps dude  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
look, look aldo!!! ( sorry couldn't help myself, I think aldo's only flaw for mappings is that he makes always the same map for cockpits)

Thanks everyone, I must say it is encouraging that people can find my renders worthy of comment despite their plainness and lack of FX.  Oh, and Setekh, I find the fastest way to learn is to get in over your head   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Anyone staring at a red-'X', my website has gone down.  Not just the website but the whole server is down.  I'm looking into the problem now.

============================================

Problem has been partially corrected.  Homestead is still down so I stuck the pic up on my Geocities site.
