Ah, excellent. The Nephthys (two Hs, btw), along with the Ptah (still waiting for her I believe

), is begging for shinemaps. Nice one.

Soon, now they will be done. Courage be upon thee Ligthspeed, to bring light in the dark eternity of space.

steak, shouldnt this be stickied?

Setekh · **Reply #345 on:** November 15, 2003, 05:20:10 pm

I haven't stickied it because (a) Lightspeed hasn't requested it (have you? did I miss it?

) and (b) the shinemaps aren't finished yet. Once they're all done and in the Media VP, this'll be sticky.

when theyre all done i'm gonna kill this thread, taking the summary and every file down, and start a new one with the complete VP, so any discussion about the VP will be at all possible.

Hope this brings back some visitors to this thread

More shinemaps, this time it's the GTVA Colossus and the GTM Hippocrates (released in one pack since they use nearly the same textures, and I had a lots of textures done yet for the Hippocrates, anyway)

Download Colossus and Hippocrates Shinemaps

Comments, people, thread is back alive

That, my friend, is space crack. It is grown on the outer hullof GTVA vessels.

The textures have a slight amount of green, do do the Hecate textures.

What I don't like about these Terran capship and some of the others (like the support ship) shinemaps is the high contrast and coloration on the hull plating. I'd rather see a subtle shinemap that gives the effect seen in a good render (go look at the Array or Dark's old renders) as opposed to the anime look.

Edit- As opposed to a high-contrast map, I'd take the original maps, greyscale them, and if using PSP8 use the clarify tool for a setting of 1 or 2, but never higher than 2. This will add some contrast and highlights, without going overboard.

So not many left, eh?

you can set intensity with command lines

My screenies use them with full inensity, if you want them more subtle, just tweak it with the command line till youre comfortable.

Galemp · **Reply #354 on:** November 18, 2003, 02:16:15 pm

But can you set color intensity? Like Ace, I like some tint, but having that texture shinemapped bright green is

A much lower saturation on that color would help immensely, and you'd pay more attention to the overall form and joint details than ou would to the color. It's just overpowering.

Fineus · **Reply #355 on:** November 18, 2003, 02:18:22 pm

I call for the command lines for that - if possible - it'd be handy to include in the readme element so people know what to tweak to get the game looking how they want it

TheCelestialOne · **Reply #356 on:** November 18, 2003, 02:30:45 pm

Ooowww... Tell me the command line(s)!

reducing the intensity also reduces the visual color saturation.

My comment is not related to intensity, but the nature of the maps. Your fighter and bomber maps look excellent with full intensity or not, while the Terran capital ship maps do not have the same visual effect as the fighter maps you have done or good FS2 renders of capships.

I'll probably do my own set of capship shine maps in the near future.
