Title: Freespace Wallpapers
Post by: Grimper on November 21, 2009, 05:21:21 am: Ok I just got Windows 7, and I'm loving the desktop background slideshow feature :D

Thing is, I only have about 5 Freespace wallpapers to use in the slideshow, and I'm having trouble finding any good new ones, particularly ones prettied up by SCP. I found this thread http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=63862.0 but it doesn't seem to have many Freespace ones, and I'm guessing a Celebration of Freespace might have a few full sized ones...but the amount of pages in that thread... @_@

So has anyone got a stash hidden away somewhere?

My screen resolution is 1280x800 if that makes any difference, but feel free to post other sizes for other people

Thanks :P

Post by: MatthTheGeek on December 02, 2009, 01:04:05 pm: Terrans suck. They aren't even able to meet a foreign species without starting a war. Not even mentioning the wars among themselves :p

Btw there are some nice wallpapers here, even if I wonder why some are dubbed as "wallpapers" when they aren't bigger than 1024x768 ^^
Title: Re: Freespace Wallpapers
Post by: Titan on December 02, 2009, 03:31:38 pm: They're old renders. Back before SCP, in Setehk's case, IIRC.

I need to brush up on my ambient fog rendering. I'm planning an awesome 14 year war render. . . Might be a nice background.

For the record, this whole anti-zod thing is completely in jest and any sense of being taken seriously just exentuates my own sense of lol. That is all.

Fixed, secret's out ;D

Now, more wallpapers >:]

It was called CrazyHugeGTVAlogo

Also, just rendered off a test animation for beam fx. Came up with something possibly wallpaper worthy. Maybe.

Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOl85IGm1ak)'s the ~5.5 second animation for those who might be interested in my playthings.

What the f**k kind of dodgy ;looking fighter Erinyes/Zod hybrid mutha is that launching twin cyclops at theat Deimos| :wtf:

Also they're saying that the shot without enhancements is ummm, without enhancements. But i see a blatant shinemap.

Post by: ShadowGorrath on April 14, 2010, 11:48:05 am: Both shots are with visual enhancements.

And that's a damn GTB ARTEMIS

Post by: Colonol Dekker on April 14, 2010, 01:34:16 pm: It looks different somehow. Somehow ugly. Somehow broken.

Either that or I need to get an ocular replacement.

And Lightspeed's nebs, and an HTL Deimos, and glowmaps, glowpoints, and MVP thrusters. So go tell these guys they're wrong, send them a real old screenshot :P
