hrm... green glows eh? looks like the greys have taken over!

Turambar · **Reply #361 on:** June 19, 2004, 02:21:35 pm

ok, i thought my vas support glows were pretty, so i did the same thing to the ptah, and i think it looks pretty. heres a screen

Glows are gorgeous... but.. err... the skin needs more work, IMO.

The original Mentu didnt have anything on the bottom, except a 32x32 pixel texture brown 'square'

WMCoolmon · **Reply #364 on:** June 19, 2004, 05:44:53 pm

Both look very nice, IMHO. I can't wait to see the finished versions.

Turambar · **Reply #365 on:** June 19, 2004, 06:26:15 pm

ill post close up screens later, but does anyone have any detailed feedback on the vas support and the ptah?

BTW all i did for the glows was make everything from the original black except the color of the lights, then i used diffuse glow with the color of the lights and i got that nice effect. kinda reminds me of the Dynamic Glow in Jedi Academy a bit, thats why i repeated the effect

Taristin · **Reply #366 on:** June 19, 2004, 10:38:09 pm

I just duplicate the glowing lights layer, and apply a gaussian blur.

GT-Keravnos · **Reply #367 on:** June 20, 2004, 03:36:59 am

... lights are too bright, and too many?

Or is it that my tired eyes are failing me?

Fineus · **Reply #368 on:** June 20, 2004, 03:46:12 am

It's just you - it's supposed to look like that

My opinion is the same.
The Vasudan support ship(GVS Nephthys, by the way) is just fine.

Wait for Lightspeeds release of my Perseus map, because my version doesn't have a shine map. (And also my webspace is full.)

Here two shots to compare:

www.8ung.at/dabrain/P_Old.jpg

(Both @ 75% Quality)

@Turambar the glow is very good.

Lightspeed · **Reply #371 on:** June 20, 2004, 07:41:19 am

you forgot to attach the files with your email.

-edit: Turambar, just make sure you do NOT (NOT!!!) flatten the glow to the base texture. This will just give me more work. Keep it as a seperate layer.

The reason is the following: You can have a base texture with the lights turned off - and use the lights turned on as the glow map. This will give ships with turned off lights a realistic look (not a turned on light that doesn't glow anymore).

Huh ? I'm sure I attached it... Well, here it goes again.

I could even upload it now. After I delete some things.

Well, I'm uploading now.

Btw I should really add my e-mail account to outlook.

Taristin · **Reply #373 on:** June 20, 2004, 08:30:09 am

Well, I can't say I like how the damaged bit was done for the engine pods, but that's just a small portion of the map, which, as a whole, is splendid. Good work.

Well, I wasn't sure, what this pixelated stuff was supoosed to be.
So I got creative

I thought it was supposed to be a missing armorplate.
So I added some cables and stuff.

I don't think it's damage.

Anyway, you will hardly see this in the game, cause it's in the inner part.

Taristin · **Reply #375 on:** June 20, 2004, 08:57:37 am

Which is why it doesn't bother me.

I had no idea what it was supposed to be either. Pixels = teh b4d.

Anyway, nice work. What's next on... The Agenda©[/i]?

DaBrain · **Reply #376 on:** June 20, 2004, 09:08:18 am

Well, I'm working on the terran supportship.

But I'll start all over again. I made big mistake.

Some of the lines I had to redraw are on the main layer.

And also, I'm not happy with it.

Next might be the Artemis, even though I'd like to work on some other ship. Perhaps Lightspeed could take this map.

TopAce · **Reply #377 on:** June 20, 2004, 11:16:16 am

I think I sharpened the Valkyrie texture for Renegade Ressurgence, but I am not sure if I still have it.
[EDIT after taking a look at the texture]
Its texture size is: 512x950. Is that the original size? I do not have the FS1 vps, so I have no way to look into it.

DaBrain · **Reply #378 on:** June 20, 2004, 11:29:03 am

256*475
So you doubled it.

TopAce · **Reply #379 on:** June 20, 2004, 11:31:57 am

I seem to have done it.
