Title: What do you Think?
Post by: Ryx on November 29, 2001, 07:34:00 pm: Meant to ask this yesterday.
Which one of these do you prefer

Or this one

(http://w1.520.telia.com/~u52019065/Test1.jpg)

I ask this 'coz i can't make up my mind about the lights.
Also, do you think the bump maps are ok?

BTW, is that supposed to be the engine glow? It looks... not right. Other than that, pretty good, except the rocks need shadows too. Raytraced shadow good. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Looks damn good dude but thing i don't like is the engine glows (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) The bump-mapping looks also cool.

And about the rocks they also need shadows just like Shrek err...i mean Shrike (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

I think that rock field is a bitmap, not models

Post by: Ryx on November 30, 2001, 04:32:00 am: Ok, i'll remove the lights.
i'm glad that you think the bump maps are ok. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

The engine glows are still WIP, and they don't look half bad right now. Initially they had a pinkish tint to them. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

And the Astroid field is 3d. Here's a crappy screenshot.

Shadows and stuff will have to wait. The first test renders illuminated pretty much everything. White Asteroids Everywhere...Not good. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)
Anything else?

I agree, make them a lot darker. Look at the lightness of the Deimos compared with the asteroids, the rocks are much lighter. They should be dark brown (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Post by: Ryx on November 30, 2001, 11:49:00 am: Fine, i'll fix the asteroids later. The asteroids were intended as picture-fill, nothing more.
