Pure Badass Awesome Coolness : And Poofs
on: January 22, 2005, 09:07:12 pm
yeah, this shot rocks, so i thought I'd share it




And i'll go ahead and pitch my new nebula poofs
no more color artifacts, nice, aesthetically pleasing 512x512 .tga (i can recompress to any format requested) nebula poofs, purple, blue, and green (edit: red too!).  They just look better, and those stringy default ones were pissing me off

anyone got a place for me to host?

Very impressive. Almost looks like it has bumpmaps or something. Engine glows kinda spoil it though.

an example

Edit: note that 'old' was resized from 256x256 to 512x512 in photoshop using the bicubic method after being switched to RBg colors from Indexed colors, so it looks much better than if i had left it indexed and resized to nearest pixel

Edit2: hey, what'dya think would happen if i added specmaps and glowmaps for the poofs?

all i was trying to do was get rid of the stringyness and the color distortions, and i succeeded.  They look better ingame, because you only see part of the image at a time, and this looks much more nebulous than those overdone wisps.

the other ones look better too, purplepoof 1 was a bad example, my favorite was red2, but i was in a hurry

edit: better example:
