if it's what I think you'r talking about, I just fixed it, check the new build forum.

heres my versions.  How did you do that metalley texture thing?  I'd really like to know that one.

[Ransom]

Hmm. It's difficult to tell without trying both in game, but from these screenshots I think DaBrain's look better.

[DaBrain]

Here is a shot to compare.

1.-My map-
2.-Turambars map (rotated)- (The egde is my fault, I just wanted to remove the menu..)


3.Old map ("The glass maps")


The shine map is MUCH better than before.




@Turambar Take a metal map you like and pate it on the fighter map (Ok, not that easy... place it on some parts, and try not to place it in shadows.) Sometimes I take my cam and take shots of possible textures (metal, wood, such things...), but there are also many free textures in the net.

I see no difference except for the Blue Lion logo. . .

It's such a Vasudan influenced ship, I'd love to see more Vasudan aspects to it. Maybe even different colored plating. I especially love the Vasudan text on the wings.

Since, you are redoing them, try something like this

The Medusa isn't that different from the stock one.

The Apollo is very detailed. But it looks odd somehow.


Anyway, I'll do my best

The Medusa is the stock one.

Compare your Ares map with the one that comes with my Ares shine/env/etc zip.

I've "fixed" it to fit my preferences perfectly.

On a side note:



This screenshot looks rather cool, although the shinemap could need some work. Keep going in that direction.

[Taristin]

Finally good to see the three of you working together, rather than *****ing about what you don't like from eachother.  Only good can come of this.

[Lightspeed]

Well, obviously DaBrain is starting to produce actually good maps.

IMHO they still need a bit of reworking (as you can see with the Ares maps) but they're a really good start into creating hires maps.

yeeeeaaaah, riiigggght look again, it's about 10x sharper

[Lightspeed]

not at all.

The FS1 medusa map looked about like that.

Maybe 2 times sharper but not more.

[Taristin]

And that's probably just a MAX filter while renderring.  I've gotten some pretty good crisp lines by renderring in MAX with not-so-great textures.

[jdjtcagle]

Is it possible for the SCP guys to add a "MAX filter"

[Taristin]

Just...

[jdjtcagle]

Or something like it

The fixes are good.

I knew the pipes were too visible, but they were so much work...

Personal stupidness

I'd like to see a Super 2xSai filter for the cell shading mode
