Title: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: jr2 on October 31, 2007, 11:45:48 am: Found these buried in my archives ;7... thought you might like them: (stretched thumbnails, clicky for ~ 3000x1500 pix shots, link to all of them in an archive at the end).

All-in-one .zip: 38.5 MB, Uploading... (to MediaFire; if you want it upped elsewhere, let me know where) EDIT: done (http://www.mediafire.com/?fxjv01vygjw).

Let me know what you think, guys. :yes:

EDIT2: Here's (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=e15c2132242f4a3291b20cc0d07ba4d25715d81729dd67a6) the folder on MediaFire where I uploaded everything... might be a bit nicer than TinyPic, which is what the thumbnails lead to.

EDIT3: I can't seem to get MF to accept stillbrief01.jpg... I'll try later. Regardless, the tinypic version and the .zipped version work. Oh, and don't use [lvlshot][/lvlshot] inside [url][/url] tags... it doesn't work. Instead you must use ye olde [img][/img] tags.

EDIT4:
OK, M04R shots 4 you:

here (http://www.mediafire.com/?1x1xmawzn1o). Will upload thumnails etc later... I'll attach one for now. ;)

Fixed now. Srry about that. All thumbnails now direct to the pictures they are supposed to.

EDIT: I got them from Voliton Watch or somesuch... these are no longer hosted there, AFAIK.

EDIT2: http://www.descent-freespace.com/goodies/gallery/big/ <- as I said, no longer there. :( They're (descent-freespace) dead now.

Hmm, whaddya know, the web archive actually hosts the HQ renders, as well as the thumbnails... that's nice of them. :nod:

EDIT: Oh... no, I didn't get them from the archive. I downloaded them when the site was still up, burned them to DVD, and haven't remembered where I stuck them as I didn't label that DVD. *d'uh!*
Title: Re: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: BlackDove on October 31, 2007, 01:45:05 pm: If I were you, I'd back up all those pages. You never know when that thing is going to stop loading the images.

Sounds like a good idea... but I'll have to do it later... that site is slooow. But good :nod:
Title: Re: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: ShadowGorrath on October 31, 2007, 02:05:25 pm: Someone who has a really fast internet MUST get all of those pictures from that site ( this one : http://web.archive.org/web/20050329054804/www.descent-freespace.com/goodies/gallery/ (http://web.archive.org/web/20050329054804/www.descent-freespace.com/goodies/gallery/) ) , put them in a zip , and upload somewhere safe . Like SectorGame , or Hades-Combine .

Can you get pics about FS2? They must be better!

Post by: Admiral Nelson on October 31, 2007, 03:23:49 pm: Thanks to Comcast cable and FlashGot, here is a 7z with all of these images:

http://files.filefront.com/Renders7z/;8933894;/fileinfo.html (http://files.filefront.com/Renders7z/;8933894;/fileinfo.html) (56 MB)

Might be worth placing on the nukelol mirror.
Title: Re: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: Mobius on October 31, 2007, 03:26:46 pm: Thanks for the link, Nelson. Those pics are just fantastic! The only bad thing is...that the models aren't cockpitted! :P
Title: Re: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: Admiral Nelson on October 31, 2007, 03:28:31 pm: It is unfortunate that the Apollo used in the FS1 intro is not available. I wonder how many polygons it was? :)

Title: Re: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: Mobius on October 31, 2007, 03:43:58 pm: A Mobius(read "Infinite")number of polygons. But it was a bomber variant...

Who knows if we can find the music files Nix needs in one of these archives?

Post by: Snail on November 01, 2007, 04:18:03 pm: I remember those... I would sit there looking at all the computer consoles for hours.
Title: Re: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: colecampbell666 on November 01, 2007, 06:31:48 pm: Wonder if there are high-res cutscenes hidden away somewhere? There'd have to be, they wouldn't just do one random frame.
Title: Re: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: Cobra on November 01, 2007, 06:46:32 pm: Of course there is, hidden away on some rotting data tape somewhere.
Title: Re: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: colecampbell666 on November 01, 2007, 06:54:02 pm: Didn't :v: say that they had data recovery specialists working on those?
Title: Re: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: jr2 on November 02, 2007, 02:12:55 am: They said they were considering it. And yeah, they did rot a little. :(

Title: Re: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: fsphiladelphia on January 10, 2008, 07:20:07 pm: What year would these renders have been made by Volition? These things are almost on par with today's next gen consoles/current pc games, some of them not just almost...
Title: Re: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: Charismatic on May 17, 2008, 04:23:53 pm: So are their any more then that from back in the v DAYS? I never seen most of these renders that good looking, or that big. Saved every one shown on first post.
Title: Re: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: FreeSpaceFreak on May 18, 2008, 12:50:00 am: :necro:

Yes, there are, but most of them are not that high-res. And they are disappearing quickly...

Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on May 18, 2008, 11:50:48 pm: :bump:

Those images look more like they came from the Descent Network. I've got some super-high resolution Descent: FreeSpace images from that site in my backup CDs, but don't ask me to go and find them (because I'm shifting house). :ick:
Title: Re: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: Aardwolf on May 19, 2008, 06:57:21 am: I found something awesome which most people forgot about if they forgot exactly the same stuff I forgot about. I'm uploading it now, but my connection is abnormally slow.

http://www.game-warden.com/masterpokey/FS1/FS1Stuffs.zip

It's got PROMO.exe, Run-16s.exe, and that colored head anim.

Probably Silent Threat (cue supersecret folder) if you ask me. :nervous:
Title: Re: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: Aardwolf on May 21, 2008, 01:52:55 pm: Promo.exe is from the Descent: FreeSpace CD (I can't remember which disk) and Run-16s.exe and the head anim are from the silent thread cd.

What is Promo.exe?
Title: Re: Ultra high-res renders
Post by: jdjtcagle on May 22, 2008, 11:00:55 am: A video that promoted Fs2. I think it's the same one that was played when you installed it.
