ok, ok. I actually just accentuated the colors that were already there, but if you guys want clarity, then you'll get it

Edit: this is a tough one, as the original maps were (I think) among the blurriest and most non-destinct in FS2.  I added the dirt as detail because there was nothing there, but I'll think of something else.

Don't throw away the dirty maps though. They'd work quite well for pirates and mercs etc

Nah, the Herc Mk2 map isnt' that bad.

But the stock myrmidon map sure scales better...

On the other hand the Ares map the horror map

And was my "first-step" herc map of any use ?



About the highlight, the more people tell me their oppinons the better the textures will get. (that's in theory )

The link appears to be borked in one way or another; I can't get to it.

From the screenshots, a huge improvement. Nice.

[Turambar]

your herc's zip file was a bit corrupted, and it wouldn't work on my comp.  And I will be keeping the dirty maps (you never know when you need a dirty herc 2, maybe it can have a cameo in Inferno), because pirates are cool

Argh, not again ! Sorry. I'll up them again, so you can have a look, or use them.

Edit: The file works perfect for me... You got the newest winrar/winzip version, don't you ?

Your map looks quite blured. Perhaps taking a shot from near the ship will make things clear.

Or release the map.


(Note: ... no work on the Perseus so far. *lazy*  )

And again it works for me... Please try again, my work is work nothing if nobody can get it.

Does anybody now where to get good free webspace ?

not really, you could ask Hunter over on sectorgame for some room on Sectorfiles, but aside from that I don't know. Unless you can put up with extremely slow stuff from Swooh (then ask Stealth) or trust an0n not to put gay porn in your file's place, in which case contact an0n for hosting on Nodewars.

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.

I rush things nowadays.

[Lightspeed]

You two (Turambar and DaB) have no imagination how bad a map can be. You need to go back and take a look at the original Horus map. THAT is crappy

(I'll post screenshots if you dont believe me )

[DaBrain]

No need for that, but...





(No words needed... )


Edit:

[Fineus]

You can really see the difference

[Flipside]

Looking nice as usual, my only concern is that 'drain cover' in the centre of the map, but it'll probably look fine once it's mapped onto the ship

[DaBrain]

I thought it had no glow map.

But I was wrong.


So here is a new glow map for the myrmidon.

Sweet!! now, I hope WMCoolmon comes and see's this and puts it into the Media VP

Try to play a bit around with it in the techroom.

I made the shine maps so, that the Myrmidon will look very metallic.

Of course there is a trick behind this...


Update: I finally started working on the Perseus.
This map is bad... really. I get a massive amount of color edges by just scaling it up... It's a lot of work. But I've already done a bit.
Perhaps I'll have no time for it tomorrow.

[Turambar]

Update for me.

I gave the herc2 a nice scrub and renamed it to a hi-res shinemap (for working purposes)
I covered up the dirt with an arbitrary color called Herc2 dark, which is the gray that you get when you mix the blue and the dirt.  I used a light airbrush to preserve the detail.  Screenshots soon
