That said...:
After a short lapse in activity, here is render #3 from me.
I think it was originally Dr.Zer0's idea for a render of 'the n00b influx', now that the VBB is down. I live to serve, so here it is.
Completely LW, apart from text in PhotoShop. All from scratch. (aside from the models and texes, of course)
Normal version:

Version without text (for those people who want "just another render™")
http://ambience.i8.com/n00b.jpg
You'll need to copy+paste the URL. *glares at 50megs hosting*
Awaiting your opinions...

Anyway, since when were newbies big? I did choose what are commonly regarded as the two worst fighters for a reason, y'know? :nod:

Put a big Orion on the left firing beams at the fighters, and have a huge flourescent name plate saying GTD Thunder.
And what about GTD ZylonBane???:confused:

Do you really want a floating derelict spewing forth threats that have no foundation?

It could shoot flaming chunks of verbal debris at n00bs.

this is kinda funny, the render coming from a n00b :D

n00b= A new player that asks annoying questions and is a plague or is an experienced and does the same thing.
Newbie= A New Player

:D
*A large craft appears, bristling with weapons and over two kilometers long. Corsair has just enough time to make out CSR Devastator written on its side before one of the turrets begins to power up; Corsair wisely jumps out of his craft as a Naval ERPPC beam vaporizes it*
I just can't stand it when people use Roman numerals improperly. That herc should have been Mk. XXXXIX :rolleyes:
Post by: Corsair on April 21, 2002, 09:39:51 pm
And I wasn't trying to bring back poor setekh! just give a little reminder, that's all. ;)

Actually it is IL. :D Roman numerals are useless in this day, though. :p
I got my Hercules Mark L though, so ha! ;7 :D

:doh: remembered the three of each kind rule for the Is, but not the Xs.
And Roman numerals are useful these days, too, for reading thin gs written in Lingua Latina :p

Here's the latest version of the render, now featuring...:
- 'l337' Argo
- 'FS3' Elysium
- GTD Thunder (with attitude)
'The n00b Syndrome'
Again, awaiting comments... :nod:
Post by: Corsair on April 22, 2002, 11:39:13 am
:lol::lol:
I think the elysium should be closer to the camera and the Thunder should be farther away though...:nod:

I would, but... I'm still teaching myself this, it's only my third render... I'll try messing around with particles, see what I can come up with, but don't expect anything great (or anything at all)...

That's pretty freaking good for a THIRD render. I would show you my third one... but you'd be pretty disappointed. ;)

Yeah, don't do that. Just think about the poor kids that look to you in admiration, learning the tragic truth behind all of it - there was a day when Setekh didn't do renders! :eek:
:D

;) It's been at least 12 months since I started rendering. Probably more. :)
