See topic.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, look under Hosted sites.

Setekh's site full of renders, which to my knowledge has not been updated since the Pleistocene epoch.

Thinking about renders - not sure if it was from the Array, but I used to have one of a rocky shoreline with a downed Valkyire at the water's edge.  The whole image was kind of sepia in tone. 

It was a briliant picture, but I lost it when my old PC exploded.  Does anyone know if that render's still around?

Can the community update the Array with the part 3 that never came?

There are a few good images in the Celebration thread, and I'm sure people can make 3d renders like those planetary ones with HTL models.

Yep, still hosted on SG.

Check their gallery (http://sectorgame.com/f2s/gallery.php), a whole load of great stuff there.

Yes, the Array is Setekh's old site. For some bizarre reason he took the whole thing down, replaced it with the splash screen you see now, then vanished.

A tragedy, really.

Yay!  Back on my desktop where it belongs.

There's some really good shots in there.  I need to spend more time on SG.

this thread made me give it a shot at the "vortex" image... (the original is so cool)

this is what I got so far:

the same but without the colorized tone:

hell... it's really hard to get a good effect, I still pick the original over this ones for my desktop for some reason.

I left the stars on purpose, I was going to add another effect with moving stars of some kind but well... maybe for the next one.

for you, fell free to follow up this thread (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,61068.msg1205103.html#msg1205103)... If everyone helps it will be always full of new images, if not... well I'll try to keep it replenished as far as I'm able.
