Looks pretty good Flipside, but do you think you could release the maps in something else (or as well as) DDS format?

Just a thought for those people who can't read/see DDS images (like me)

GeForce FX 5200 matey.

It most likely can read DDS, I just never before had need, knowing my luck...:rolleyes:

To be fair, I've only encountered this .DDS format when Omni did those Earth/Mars skyboxes.  Never heard of them before.

Add to that that Paint Shop Pro 7 won't open then (most likely there is an update floating around somewhere), and PofVeiw dosn't support them...

Ok, PofView won't read any 32bit textures. I'm assuming jpg or tga work ok on your system?

There IS a plugin that will allow you to open the DDS files, theres a link on the forum somewhere. :)

Oh yes, .jpg and .tga work alright...

Thanks Gregster2k, I'll poke around there in a little bit (got to check out the other threads here!)

No probs, off out now, but I'll get the images done tonight, I may well also have a third asteroid if I can escape the rellies long enough to surface bake it ;)

I'd say that since there are something like 5 distinct fields defined for default FS2, go for it.  A little variety won't hurt anything.
who needs a signature? ;)

Yes.  Variety!  It's aweful when everything is made by one person. It's done in their vision only.

I think you should Ryx, we need lots of different styles of asteroid, mine look ok, but too many on screen and they will start to look to 'samey', it'd be better to have lots of different styles of asteroid :)

polycount? it seems rather reasonable use of poly's, i like it so far.

Flipside: Your models rock, but the textures aren't really good.

Mind if I have a go at them? :D

By all means :) Though I've worked out a new render technique that might improve matters a bit, that texture was really just a throw-together :)
