Title: Render Contest Entry: Gulf Sector
Post by: Thorn on December 08, 2001, 12:27:00 pm
 
This had to be the most painfule render I have ever made. My computer cant handle that many polys  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/squeeze.gif)
Anyways, the story behind this one:
The Beast has been running rampant across the Galaxy. You had found a massive siege cannon deelict in another sector, but whenever you fire it, the heatsinks melt, and the gun shuts down. You came to the Bentusi to get their help. When you arrived, they were all leaving through a massive slipgate, the Bentusi are particularly vulnerable to the Beast. You try to stop them by blocking the gate with your command ship. The Benusi dont take too kindly to this and open fire on your ships.

Cool...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

The Bentusi look like cargo containers. Real menacing.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif)

Don't. I liked it but it got boring after about a week. Go and get maybe Empire Earth instead, it looks awesome!

I actually liked Cataclysm..
Especially the interface, BD greatly improved it, you can issue orders from the sensors manager now  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
The campaign is pretty cool too...

Alright, I updated that first one, I dont know if you noticed, but there were a lot of graphical flaws in it. I also figured out how to use radiosity  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
 

Oh yeah, my computer sucks  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
