I used it as a base for my work, yes. And yeah, just noticed I took practically all screenies with the thing in the shadow sides - not good for people with bad/old/damaged monitors I guess. Try it in-game to see it properly

my monitor is bright, yet hte shinemap on that Ursa seems a bit...dull. Perhaps increasing the shinyness a wee bit (10% at most) might help?

Awesome awesome, the Osiris with its plating texture looks fantastic with shinemapping. Well done.

Really, try it in-game. The shine's even a bit too intense in some parts. The screenshots are ALL from the pretty much shadowed sides

Yeah, because I made individual plates of what was a low-res colour mess before. That was quite some work, seperating all the individual plates there

Got another Shivan one for us? do the SB Nephilim, or the SB Seraphim next.

[Lightspeed]

The Nephilim is the next one on my list.

'cause here it is.

Note: This might cause rather crude slowdowns for you. If this is the case, delete the first LOD of the animated glowmap and replace it with a copy from the second LOD. This should fix up the slowdown and only look slightly worse. I have not tested things a lot yet, so it might or might not happen.

Man, I'm not sure if I can use these... The first ones I looked at in-game halfed my frame rates

Ah the Zeus, my all time favourite FS2 ship. Great work man.

[jdjtcagle]

it was my all-time favorite ST ship

[ShadowDrakken]

once you get them all mapped LS, are you gonna release a single download pack for them all? or at least make a post with links to all the individuals in one place?

These are looking awesome in your screens you're posting, can't wait to use them in game, but not gonna grab them until they're all done so the whole game looks consistent

Also, how do you use them in the game anyhow? *inno*

[Lightspeed]

For the 100th time - yes, they WILL be packed up

(first in individual chunks - fighters&bomber, etc. ; and when they're all done in a big zipfile)

As for using them, I might make a VP out of them so you'd just have to put the VP into your main dir. Or I might just throw them in as individual files, in which case you simply have to copy everything to your data\maps directory.

@JD: Did my suggestion fix the performance troubles you had?
