well it is my first attempt, and a lot of it came from hours of editing in word.....

It was also meant to show off the Epimetheus, Naga, and Kali. I think it serves its purpose well enough.

For a first it's very good. Much better than my first (which wasn't even worth posting so I didn't. It shows off the models quite well though, and serves its purpose. Especially since those are your models. :D

all are 158th models, but not all are my models ;) the Naga (there are 3 of them in the render) is Mikhael's model, i just textured it for him and decided it would look nice in there.

Title: Alpha 1
Post by: Kitsune on April 07, 2002, 06:23:11 pm: What if the shivans have the equivelant of Alpha 1, but haven't brought him to our sector (for FS2) because they don't need him?

What kind of fighter would he fly?

I got out of that mission at 1% hull because I had been a little too close to a comm node when it blew up. :D then I just went back to the jump node where it was safe and watched the pretty fireworks and waited for the authorization to jump back to the nebula.

Post by: Kamikaze on April 08, 2002, 10:48:59 pm: This one is better, the lasers seem less... cluttered. :)
I think the biggest part is lasers - Some of the guys here do it really cool... but what I suggest is adding a blur to it - a laser burst that's too solid looks wierd... :nod:

heh, not that good with blur yet, i cant seem to blur one spot without leaving a clear edge at the transition between the part i blurred and the part i didnt, so as a result i usually blur all or none (with the exeption of text on white or black). People dont seem to like blurred pictures however, not mentioning anynames *cough* Venom *cough*. :p so if you know what i can do for that, please, suggest.
Title: SOC: join today, die tomorrow
Post by: Kamikaze on April 08, 2002, 10:58:46 pm: I haven't really used whatever program you're using so I wouldn't know - but in Blender you can assign models and such into specific layers which are only affected when the layer is active. Is there something like that in the renderer you use? Otherwise I can't help you :o
Title: SOC: join today, die tomorrow
Post by: LtNarol on April 08, 2002, 11:01:04 pm: im pretty sure theres a way to do that in Truespace, probably hierarchy, but i dont know....i've been adding most of the laser effects and text in psp.
Title: SOC: join today, die tomorrow
Post by: Kamikaze on April 08, 2002, 11:04:59 pm: If the laser effects are added on top of the render layer in a separate layer you should be able to add a blur... (in post-production)

baaaaaaaaaah :p no harm intended ;)
really, if you want to hide those egges, use shadows, not blur. Put some lights, it will look better, anyway.

Post by: Styxx on April 09, 2002, 08:09:20 am: Needs a bit more perspective, everything is too plain... But it's better than the first. :)
