that pretty much describes it.

Very cool.

Razor · **Reply #2 on:** May 05, 2003, 01:34:50 pm

Nice.

Although it would be better if we could see what it is firing at.

tEAbAG · **Reply #3 on:** May 05, 2003, 01:36:36 pm

Its not firing at anything. Haven't you ever seen the GTVA's Lazer Floyd?

A most excellent job.

nice, but perhaps the beams should be a bit thicker, they look kinda pencil like now.

Most of them look fine to me but I think the ones coming out of the big hole in the front might want to be widened a little (why make a big hole in the hull for a small weapon?)

Carl · **Reply #6 on:** May 05, 2003, 02:52:11 pm

because that hole is to fit the cannon, not the beam:

karajorma · **Reply #7 on:** May 05, 2003, 02:56:18 pm

aha! That explains it then

But why have such a lovely looking beam cannon and then hide it away from us in the first place

beatspete · **Reply #8 on:** May 05, 2003, 03:27:15 pm

Some glow at the source of the beams would be good.

As for the model, which is probably what we should be most intrested in... seen it already on warpstorm

Tiara · **Reply #9 on:** May 05, 2003, 05:12:33 pm

Nice indeed, though some glow at the start would be nicer

pyro-manic · **Reply #10 on:** May 05, 2003, 08:18:01 pm

Sweet.

Muzzle glows would be good, and possibly make the beam edges slightly ragged. Very nice job, though.

Carl · **Reply #11 on:** May 05, 2003, 09:57:46 pm

i dunno about muzzle glows, you guys. i mean, they don't really make any sense. what are they? besides, i'm trying to keep it different from freespace.

Razor · **Reply #12 on:** May 05, 2003, 11:47:25 pm

Well I usually make my beams slightly different from FS2 ones, but well, guess you have to follow the drill anyhow.
By the way, how did you make those beams?

Carl · **Reply #13 on:** May 05, 2003, 11:58:19 pm

A whole bunch of intersecting, gradiated polygons and a cylinder. I couldn't explain it without illustrations.

It's not working.

I like this image in particular... while ZylonBane is right and they're still quite FS-ey, I like especially the job you've done on getting the objects in the environment to be affected by the beamlight.

Good job !:cool:
What is the model ?
How many polys ?

kode · **Reply #17 on:** May 07, 2003, 03:24:31 am

84000+ excluding beams, I think.

Razor · **Reply #18 on:** May 07, 2003, 04:52:40 am

The second pic is OK, but the beam really needs some more antialiasing.

Ashrak · **Reply #19 on:** May 07, 2003, 07:03:09 am

the beams are sweet but the lighting......requires attention
