Title: The Fail that is called Spoon.
Post by: Spoon on November 11, 2010, 07:48:56 pm

My shame, it is eternal. It is so large in fact, that I have to share it to the internet so I will never fail so hard again.

What is my fail you ask?
Shine maps.

In short, I commited terrible fail by saving shine maps at 256x256 (and some times even lower than that). And the sad part is, I somehow never realized what a difference this makes.
To illustrate

It's almost as if I was trying to make already bland textures even worse. So feel free to point and laugh at me. I deserve it  :p

Well, I can forgive you if you release a patch with the nicer shine maps.

That 'silver' Zy ship can be used as an Ace fighter.

Hmm now figure out how to make the "aluminum foil" ship more "mirror" like....   ;)

The Zy ship looks like it was etched by having acid poured on it. I'm not sure that's a good thing. :P

Is that an orange bar of soap above the last two ships... or a radioactive iPhone...?

The fourth Zy fighter looks great and more detailed.
