[Lightspeed]

i think we should stick to actual in-game screenshots.

Best way to show off what it can do...

second
but we need a better one than the one we have now.

1st: the 1024x768 SCP slash screen has a big green blob around the source text - a green blob that should be transparent (And is in 640x480)

second - I DESPISE THAT RAVANA SCREENSHOT!  Get something cooler like the new mjolnir textured and shinemapped firing upon a shinemapped ship and get a planet in the background

[FreeTerran]

i think its the best anyone do a render

You want fries with that?

(I'm on the job...)

[J3Vr6]

Does anyone else get the problem of not seeing the splash screen?  It goes straight to the pilot info screen.  Sometimes it will show it, but for a split second before going into the pilot screen.  Don't know if that's good or bad :\

[Goober5000]

AFAIK it only shows while the program is loading.  The shorter it shows, the quicker the load time. So that's a good thing, but I'd have to get somebody who's looked at that part of the code to confirm this.  Maybe adding a second or two delay might be good.

[Fineus]

I just don't see it at all - although the screen does change resolution and "hang" at desktop for about 5 seconds, I imagine this is where the loading screen should be.

On another note, getting a good shot of a Mjolnir nailing a Ravana is harder than I thought - the damn thing keeps getting blown up before it gets a shot off... still working on that

first: the green blob is perfectly transparent here.

second: i agree the screenshot is crappy. Although i dont want to have a render there, a screenshot would show how much SCP has already done to make things look great.

How about a nice Screenie with smoothened nebulae in the background, the Ravana with the mjolnirs (good idea there), and of course, have an 32-bit version of it

[Fineus]

It'll take me some time to set the mission parameters.

In the mean time, remember Setekhs excellent "City In The Sky" render? Well... seems reality does immitate art

[FreeTerran]

OUCH! i'm speechless

[ChronoReverse]

What happened to the thread with the OverExposure effect?  That thread had some REALLY jaw-dropping efects.

[Ashrak]

its a bit too red imho eeeh try make a sun whiteish blue and from back to front wiev orion heading to sun and a nice shine from the sidE

[Fineus]

I could whip that up in a bit - in the mean time, here's 10 images that came of my attempts to get some decent shots. It's about 1MB. An example shot will follow.

[Fineus]

And the obligatory example

Why not just make both ships invulnerable... they'd slug it out but neither would get killed so you'd have plenty of opertunities to get the best shot.

Later!

[Galemp]

And remember to remove the HUD...

[Sticks]

If people want to see what the engine can do, they can take three seconds and jump into a mission.

I say we use a render. Something classy and nice that looks like we're a professional group here.
