So, Freespace has gone Anime... does this work on all cards or just the newer ones?  Anyway, looks like it'd be perfect for a campaign like Deus ex Machina, but I think I still prefer my FS-looking ships for more serious stuff.

EDIT: well you beat me to it, nevermind about the card question.

I'm going to have to add some way of setting the background color

[Woolie Wool]

Play the Robotech mod with that enabled.

[karajorma]

Would have been good for something like the robotech mod though.

[TopAce]

Hey bob! What's so special on that Artemis? I can see the changes on the Hecate, but the Artemis appears to be unchanged for me.

[Bobboau]

you can't see the stepped lighting gradient?

[Ashrak]

i think the 3d shockers suck.....

[Lynx]

I second that...

What I'd really like to see is planar shockwaves like in Prophecy or StarLancer. They are scientific nonsense, but they are the coolness!:cool:

[Unknown Target]

I gotta try this with the RT mod
I'm downloading it right now, heheheee....

No. that can be done by modders, and anime ( I just pick an exemple ) have very elaborate backgrounds, not plain ones like US cartoons.

Bob, this might intrest you:

This is what i get with this build

The card is an ATI Rage Fury Pro

Cheers

[Amon_Re]

BTW, it's not every ship that has this, the amazon drone eg is rendered completely, but i think no shine/cell shading...

(Unless that's not visible in the techroom?)

PS: Joystick is *still* working here

Cheers

i guess your next order of buisness bob is to make it as compatable with various hardware as possible.

[Flipside]

GeForce4 MX440's don't support 3 texture stages

Cellshading support is going to be great for some mods.

Similarly with some tender loving care, 3d shockwaves can be made to look very impressive.

well, the shockwave just needs a better pof. I bet Bob didn't spend more than 5 minutes making it

[Solatar]

3d shockwaves also need to be 3d instead of models in the background (i.e.-they need to go through things, like in Descent 3)

[Nico]

when I tested it, they were going through stuff, so I don't really know what you're talking about...

[Flipside]

I think what is causing the confusion here is that the shockwave is non-transparent, so anything inside it is invisible?

Try this......

Not perfect, this is just a throw together, but you get the idea.

P.S. Did you know that -trans-glow will make a glowing transparency texture

Par example -
