Title: June 2013 Screencap Contest
Post by: Axem on June 01, 2013, 07:42:09 am
This month's theme: The Quiet Life! No enemies or weapons being thrown around. Just a peaceful day in the life of FreeSpace. Maybe a fighter patrol around civilian stations, or transport groups going about their business. Something relaxing.

And remember the rules: No HUD. No Photoshop. Max 3 entries per person. Final Destination.
Screencap script makes taking pictures easy and affordable on a low income budget. (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=82173.0)

Have at it!

Nothing fancy, just enough to keep the other contestants on their toes.

And remember the rules: No HUD.

To remove the HUD press Shift-O. Other then that, your pictures are pretty good.  :yes:

Hey Matth, the shadows in your third screenshot look good. Which build were you using?
Title: Re: June 2013 Screencap Contest
Post by: MatthTheGeek on June 01, 2013, 01:18:12 pm
BP build. Official or svn I don't remember, but it shouldn't make a difference shadows-wise.
Title: Re: June 2013 Screencap Contest
Post by: Arpit on June 01, 2013, 01:38:14 pm
I have the latest BP build (3.6.19-BP-SSE2). They don't work for me.(I don't get shadows)

I have a Nvidia Geforce GT 620M graphic card. They should work for me, right ?

Problem solved. I did not have the shadow_quality command line entered. What a derp I am!  :p

Anyways, thanks because I actually didn't know about shadows in Blue Planet (Don't shoot me!  :shaking: )

i'm going to enter for the first (and probably last) time ever with a shot i took about 9 years ago in retail.

Nice. Did you build the City with some kind of autogreeble fuction? It looks amazing geometrically, but the texs could do with some diversification.

Bloody good though. Can't let that stand, right? :p
Title: Re: June 2013 Screencap Contest
Post by: Darius on June 02, 2013, 12:57:48 am
'Course it's autogreeble. Anything else would require having some modelling ability :P

Well, that's where you use procedural generation to do all the work for you. (http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=2940) (Although that's already what the autogreebler is doing, it's just not designed to produce cities.)

Hey, where'd you get that skybox?
Title: Re: June 2013 Screencap Contest
Post by: Droid803 on June 02, 2013, 07:43:59 pm
Looks to me like it could possibly be a giant stretched nebula.
Title: Re: June 2013 Screencap Contest
Post by: Deepstar on June 03, 2013, 04:57:05 am
Exactly.

I used the same nebula a few times and streched it, so that it this red cloud is present in nearly every direction. And then i use some additional nebulae in normal size to change the appearance in different places and to hide the ugly boundaries you have sometimes in extreme strechted background images.

Not very complicated and i think it is only a kind of workaround to create some screenshots, because i am unable to create skyboxes myself (and working missions, too) :D.

and find within its cold expanse the salvation of our race.

nonononono, you are on the right (phenomenal) track (had no idea FS2 was ready to do this kind of stuff), but if I can say something, you could still take out a lot of repetition in there.
