Not to mention that some people like me get a bug where by all the buttons move left and up one pixel leaving a blue line behind.

Might as well replace everything with TGA versions. Oh. That's what this thread is alll about

[Turambar]

so how is the herc 2 coming,  will DaBrain be editing it or will LS just do shinemaps for it?

[DaBrain]

I'm still working (well, ok I'm uhm taking a break...?) on the support ship. The weather is still good, so I don't feel like sitting in front of my PC

[DaBrain]

I wonder if I can finish it today... Somehow it still looks like much work.

If you want any changes, tell me now. It might be the last chance.

(I'll work on the lines, and on the pipes(or what ever it's supposed to be . The biggest pipe-part is already done.)

Both images 80% quality.

You can already use it if you want to.

(80% quality, old, bicubical risized)


(80% quality, new. Most parts done.)

whoa - dude - now THAT is a visible improvement right there.

[Lightspeed]

As soon as you're done, i'll add it to my builds - will be bundled with next friday's release

[DaBrain]

Sure, I'd love to see it with your shine maps.


I'm afraid I'm putting too much effort in each single map. It just takes to long to finish them...

Well, I think it's ok for the support ship, as you see it very often, and close ups too.

So I'll take my time, rushing things now would just reduce the quality.

Big Update:

Hygeia 100% done (map, shinemap, glowmap)

Download

On the way to Lightspeed now, so it can be included in his next shinmap release.

(Sorry, the shot is rather bad)

Boanerges NEW ~25%









Orion UPDATE 75% (maps, shinemaps, glowmaps]

Originally intended to be used only for cutscenes. So I have to fix some tile problems.








Edit: Sorry for double posting, but I not allowed to post this many pics at once.

[Lightspeed]

Oh, I'll fix up those Orion texxies for in-game use once you have them ready

I have the Hygeia maps - I'll do some minor improvements before I include them, though.

[DaBrain]

Sure, if it's not the red (or blue) lines. They are not visible on the model.

Edit: And btw I'm not whether I should work on the Orion maps, cause we could texture the unwraped high poly Orion...
That is preferable performance-wise.


Edit: Release and updates on page two!

[DaBrain]

Here the Orion maps, which are already complete.
The other maps will follow. (Don't know how long it will take though)

Download

No shots. As they look exactly as in the last pictures.

[Lightspeed]

Good work

Will fix those things up for the next release

[DaBrain]

Note: One of them is completly new. A redraw.
These two have no tile problems.

[Woolie Wool]

Magnefique!

[freespace2pilot]

the head on booster shot really looks daunting...
also thruster glo mayb a little too bright/big there - it gets to the stage where it stops looking powerful and just ends up obscuring the rest of the model

[DaBrain]

I don't really get which picture you're talking about. (And which model )

[Setekh]

Looking fantastic, guys.
