I'm just trying to get them shield effects right. I need suggestions on how to improve and what you think of it.



Remeber, not the ships etc, just the shield effect. The rest is just a random 5 minute job

[Fineus]

To rounded.. and needs to fade out more around the edges - but other than that it's very good

[an0n]

The effect is too dense.

It needs to be more like shining a light into a jar full of clouds and less like spray-painting an invisible rock.

[Thorn]

Sorta like this. I'm still working on the effect, but its pretty close to what I'm after...

[Thorn]

bah! damnable thing didnt upload...

See, now that one is too gaseous. It needs more white in it and to be a little rougher.

I think the shield hit seems too close to the ship, Tiara, but that could be the angle.

I LOVE IT!

I think you are talking 'bout Thorns one, right? ;p Mine isn't that great

Anywayz, mine is more a localized hit. And everytime I see a localized hit from a beam weapon in ST it is dense (though it fades quickly). Remeber, my shield effect is during direct contact with the Cardassian beam itself.

Ow, and it's completely PSP made

Thorn's shield is a bit too glassy for my taste. And it seems like it's being hit by either a very low yield but large beam or passing through a dense atmosphere or something.

You should try making it like electric bolts. Electric bolts rule.
Electric bolts for president!

I actually like both quite a lot. They're both appropriate in different places, IMHO.

[TopAce]

Looks quite good. I like it.

Sorry Tiara
Mine actually looks quite a bit different if you have a beam hitting it, with a lens flare at the impact point. It looks like the energy from the beam is dissapating along the shield.

Maybe something like this?
Watcha think?
And put that on top of a gaseous cloud...

[Thorn]

That looks more like a wormhole....

[Unknown Target]

Oooo, purdy Athalla.

Anyway, Tiara, the angle kinda screws it up, imho Needs some work, try making it less solid

[an0n]

If only.

Errr.....*runs*

[Atalhlla]

Heh, it's amazing what can be done in 2 minutes in Photoshop, eh?

Yeah, I thought it looked either like the effect when ships were entering/exiting subspace or from StarCraft with the Protoss.
