Wow, really nice.

The only problem is I've been so pampered with your earlier LSD high-res releases that I feel somehow cheated when I see lowres (or semi) work again.

Still Awsome job.

Someone update the mediaVPs with them, then :)

Anyway, here we go. And I hold my promises. Alternate Leviathan skin :)



Of course, the release won't be until tomorrow (with friday's build), but here's a request to Kazan in advance:

Altered Ships.tbl

Completely retail ships.tbl with the new Leviathan model reference. Alternate textures need a second (model-wise identical of course) model to be referenced in the tables, so as it is now it's not multiplayer compatible untill the changed table is validated. This is my humble request. :)

The model files will be included in tomorrow's zip as well (optimized some of the textures on the original HTL Fenris, there was a lot of memory wasting with it.) :)

Oh God..........
The Leviathan actually looks odder, yet better than the Fenris in those pics!

actually, upon reflection, you should have switched the textures. The fenris should be looking like the ship on the left, whilst the Levy ought to have hte slightly different textures on the right. or is it all due to Env Mapping?

I like, I like a lot... I know the ships are the same model with different technologies from the different war eras, but seriously, they needed some varied textures. I think the same goes for the Cain and the Lilith. The Cain should look a little less menacing somehow. Shines look great, btw. :) :yes:

Eh, one's red, the other's blue.  Simple enough to change.  I actually think the flatter grey looks better on the Leviathan, since the gunmetal grey on the Fenris looks less like armor, or at least less rugged.
who needs a signature? ;)

Singh: The ones to the right are closer the "stock" ones.

It says "heavier armoured" on the Leviathan's description so it's obvious that (if they're the same model) it's got a tougher hull plating.

Sorry, the supportship is not ready yet. I had less time than expected and I'm having trouble with a part of the map I've not touched yet.

Looks too cartoony IMO, the greys are somewhat overly monotone.

The first one I don't like. The glow is good as always, but it does look cartoony.

phoot. May be up for revision for next week's build :)

It does look a bit odd from the screenies, though, as the effect I was going for only really works with loads of envmapping :)
