It does if its latex based, but I'm pretty sure that's not what this is supposed to be.

Thats a very nice start. The contrast is extreme again, though - tone it down considerably and you'll be near to perfect. Also try to clean it off a bit, there's too much rust.

However, the general shape is A-1 supar

I like the contrast the way it is, don't change it.

What? I basically disagree with Lightspeed, if you didn't understand

[SadisticSid]

Leave the contrast alone, it's what the Perseus should've looked like to start with...

[Ransom]

I think the contrast should be toned down.

[DaBrain]

Well, I'll not touch the contrast for now.

BTW futher progress (~55%)



This map takes more time than I thought.
It looked so easy in the first place...


(Note: Stil the old shine map. From the 'rusty')

[Rictor]

If it were possible, I'de have your kids. That rocks.

though the one fault I can see (other than the cockpit which I'm assuming will get the environment map treatment sometime down the road), are the "wings" on the side. The one thats visible looks wierd...sort of blurry and scratched up.

other than that, awesome job..

[Gregster2k]

wow, i actually like the contrast on that one, especially the reddened wings...personally i think a whole set of fighter textures with high contrast and colors that MAKES them look like "toys" should be "saved as" as a separate "Toybox Freespace2 mod" for all those people out there who have always wanted to...PLAY with toys

The Perseus above looks damned awesome so far...

hmm, maybe I too should whip out Photoshop 6 and start working on new maps for something...

Aww come on. The fixes are negligible. Don't tell me you didn't like it without them.
But LS does better shine maps.
But somehow I like my Myrmidon shine map better.
Most likely a matter of personal taste.
And perhaps it grows to more than community, perhaps it could become teamwork.
I'd like to see Turambar in this too, as soon as his skills have improved.  

How about we organize somewhat like this?

[jdjtcagle]

Glad to see you guys worked it out

[DaBrain]

It might be better to help Turambar improve his skills.

He will not improve if he does only the first steps.


But more inter action might be good.

And your glow/shine maps are the best. (Uhm except for the myrmidon )

[Turambar]

works for me

@DaB: could you PM me your email adress (if your inbox is big enough, that is)

Edit: as for my skills, i teach myself.  You should see my first oil painting compared to my most recent one  I'll just keep getting better and better and eventually they'll be going straight to LS

[Jetmech Jr.]

Now that you guys are a team (Yay ), I cant wait to see some of the stuff you'll be releasing.

[Lightspeed]

It might be better to help Turambar improve his skills.

That's actually the intention. As his skills improve there'll be less and less that has to be 'post processed' on his maps.

The idea is not that he does the first steps. He creates a map and finishes it - THEN passes it on where it (if necessary) gets edited and improved.

I think Turambar got the idea (see his edit )

On a side note. What's wrong with my Myrmidon shinemap?

[Turambar]

wow, you should see what 20 minutes of airbrushing can do to a Serapis!

Screenies tonight

[DaBrain]

Then everything is in order.

We will be know as DaTeam or something

My e-mail adress is a problem... it's overspammed and my spamm filter is ... shi... not the best, you might say.

I'll get a new one.


[notimportant]
Now that we are a team, I want a pic under my name
And perhaps a freaky title. [/notimportant]

[jdjtcagle]

yes definatly freaky as a title

[Turambar]

Hmmm, maybe not that, but we do need a snazzy or otherwise aesthetic title to release the finished products with.

Uh-uh-uhh... requesting one will only delay it further. :shakingfinger:
