Post by: Bushwacker on March 01, 2001, 04:24:00 pm: Hmm, while I'm no master judge (actually I have no right even trying) on renders, there's a serious "It's flat and in your face" kinda sensation that I get. Is there some way you can cut down on the "shininess" of the fighters' hulls? And I personally don't like anything that close unless it's a capship. Plus it's empty in the top-right; the fighters need a destination, don't they? Might put a distant fight going on over there (memories of FS2 opening cutscene surge through brain).

Anyways, that's just me. Other than that, it seems okay. Maybe I should take time out to figure out how to do renders myself...

Post by: Warlock on March 01, 2001, 05:01:00 pm: Valid point. Alot of the reason for the close up is I'm having problems getting decent looking thrusters...so I don't want fighters "coasting' across space (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

And the shininess can be easily dealt with...I just set PS4 a little higher this time on the lens flare since I had the sun fairly close.

But thanks for the critisium (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) It gives me a better prespictive of what I need to work on.
