Title: A Freespace Poster
Post by: Asteroth on May 08, 2009, 10:29:04 pm

So I figure, that someday I'll just forget about Freespace, and it will be ancient, but I love nostalgiaing. So I thought of making a big poster, to honor Freespace. I was thinking to be simplictic so I decided on a black-on-white silhouette of numerous Terran, Vasudan, and Shivan ships. Shivans on one side, and the Terrans and vasudans on the other. My main problem is that I want to be exact, I'm not going to make ships my memory, I want some sort of method to take a certain angle of a model and turn that into the black and white I want.

Does anyone know of a way I can do this?

I would just open the POFs in PCS2, take screen caps (preferably with a background color that clashes with the ship's own colors), then go into Photoshop and make them silhouettes by extracting them from the image, and hue/saturation lightness -> 0.

Then just floodfill the background white (separate layer).
