Actually, they're both in English.  Blond(e) is the only word in the English language that changes with gender (I'd use the proper terminology, but it escapes me right now).

Blond = Male
Blonde = Female

Not used much any more, peoply mostly settle for one or the other.

[Fineus]

Unimportant. Shh.

[Nico]

Well no, I learned something new today

[ShadowDrakken]

has nothing to do with gender, and isn't even originally English... check out www.dictionary.com

btw
blond = hair color
blonde = person having blond hair...

same difference as brown/brunet

[jdjtcagle]

Ahhh!!!... It doesn't matter, I was having a stupid moment

Still incorrect. Seriously it's just a spelling difference. Accept it and move on.

[Fineus]

Fine.

The time has come to proudly release another DaB-LSD coproduction.... The Perseus!



I love this ship.

Perseus Maps (4.15 MB)

Enjoy

[DaBrain]

So it was helpful to add the 95% map.

Looks like you used it for the shinemap

[Lightspeed]

yes, I used it as a base to work on.

[DaBrain]

But notice the lines are not worked-over in the 95% map. That looks odd somehow.


This might be useful: http://www.8ung.at/dabrain/fighter2t-03A_101.rar

I copied the line layer from the final map.

Sorry, I should have done this earlier I think.

[Turambar]

lol, LSD

[Lightspeed]

Err I knew that DaB.

Fact is, I redrew all the lines anyway to seperate the individual plates' shines.

[Taristin]

And it looks absolutely stunning!  I especially like how each plate has an individual shine, as if it's a different kind of metal.

[DaBrain]

Yeah, the shinemap is excellent.

The idea with the different shine-levels is pretty good.

I used this for my Myrmidon shine map.


@ Lightspeed I ment that the lines shoul be weaker in the shine map.

It looks kinda weird, that they appear when light shines on them...

(The over-worked lines are  weaker/blurred in certain areas.)

Who needs high poly with these maps, really... thats amazing
With the maps I can't tell any any low poly problems on any ship you guys have done.

I'm trying to create a so-so 3d effect with better shading.
This effect gets increased by Lightspeeds excellent shinemaps.

I also try to (optical) smooth the egdes with better shading.

[QuantumDelta]

My baby all shined up

[Lightspeed]

Oh yeah, i'd perseus 1vX any day.  

DaB: The lines are stronger in the shinemap on purpose. The little cracks between different plates don't shine, whereas the actual plates do.
