...Ooh. And once that's done, I can copy the base texture to that one other mesh...

[Lightspeed]

hehe

And not precisely, Turambar - more in the order they are in my data/models folder.

Quick and efficient. Like an insect-powder.

[Turambar]

I'm not at m home computer, but i hope you didn't forget to put the shinemap in here

[Lightspeed]

Doesnt actually matter, since i'll do the myrmie soon-ish now. (Right after the Thoth, that is.)

and whoo, browsing the forums with this font is harder than I thought

-edit: if you're wondering what I'm talking about font-wise:  Click here

I created a new shine map.

Here some shots (notice: no env mapping)



I'll upload it soon.


And uhm... I had no time to start working on the perseus...
Perhaps I'll start today. (But then again, here is such nice weather...)

Christ.. it's so detailed! This is definitely a great piece of work. Well done, and keep it up!

[TopAce]

Definitely not a two minute job.

So what all do we need to download to get this??

[TopAce]

No, you can also ask that on a floppy, but downloading it is more straightforward.

Herc 2 WIP.
I made it look kinda dirty, and i added a new light point (ill do glowmap later).  I also made the little engine parts look much better.  Its like 50% done



edit:  I havent edited the part below the area with the 2 on it, and when i make the shinemap, im going to drastically reduce the shininess off the paint and see what kind of effect I get, it may be cool.  (I'll make all the glowy areas white in the shinemap [Learning from the best, Bob])

[TopAce]

Worth putting it to the highlights?

[Lightspeed]

DaB: Good work. I havent had any time to do something today either, so waiting for the perseus doesnt really matter.

Turambar: I honestly dont like it. It looks err... odd to say non the least.

I think it might be best to get more than one ship done - to really show it off But it's certainly heading towards highlight material.

Lightspeed, not sure what you find wrong with the Herc2 skin but personally I don't think it should be dirty in any location other than the area surrounding the engines (that is to say, where the thrusters might blacken and scorch the hull).

As it is it looks like it was pulled from a swamp. Nothing wrong with that but I don't see the GTVA purposefully leaving their ships to get dirty.

[Lightspeed]

Youve stated exactly my reasons to dislike the map. The original one looked at least five times better as it was 'clear'

'Bout the highlights: Maybe wait till all the fighters in FS2 are completely finished (i.e. maps (texture, env, shine, glow))?

That would...

a) definately be enough goodness to warrant highlighting
b) show off a great community effort

[Fineus]

Well I was thinking that - as something hits the highlights - massive interest in it grows since everyone who hasn't noticed gets a look. This in turn leads to additional pressure on whoevers doing the work and - if they're not already done with what they're doing - they might feel pressure to rush the rest of it to please hundred people screaming "Ursa! Skin the Ursa!". One of the admins may feel differently but I'll be waiting for a bit before putting this in (and I will, if nobody else does, but only when the time is right ). It's highlight quality - I'd like it to stay that way.

[Gregster2k]

I agree...dont ever stick this in the highlights until its *done* and with all the lovely ships out there, it may never be for quite some time
