Ok.. so far, everything works for me, but I can't get everything to work at the same time(like I would like to have it.) Without mv_textures, I can't get glowmaps. Glowmaps means awesome. Solution is .dds. I reiterate, please make .dds maps! That way you can have everything working.

Raa, what did you use to make .dds files?

EDIT:: Bob... go to the tech room and look at the Lilith and the Sathanas(while using the cel shading build). There's your freakin incentive to get shadows finished!

Bob: Could you do me a favour and look at the interface bug I posted?

[Woolie Wool]

I personally like the Seth the best.

That's Bob's Hecate.



And btw ... wheeee!!!

[DaBrain]

Wacom strikes!



I need to practice more.



Hand drawn maps look more anime-like.

[Ghost]

I like that... download, please?

Satis + Horus (PCX+DDS)

The PCX one has a slightlty better quality. PCX is perfect for low-color maps...

[Grug]

=o

You got a sketch pad for computer?

/me jealous

So when can I expect it to arrive at my place? ...

...
Me wants one!

If you can't give me one, Turnsky should have to.

[DaBrain]

Ok I'll send it ove.... wait a moment... I just got it and won't give it away so easily .

Well, working with thad pad was quite dificult, but I guess that's matter of practice. (Hmm I hope it )

The PenTools are quite interesting.

I personally think it should look more "professional", instead of looking like a 10-year-old's marker sketch. Add shading hatch lines to the maps, thinner outlines, and generally make it look a little more realistic.

[DaBrain]

I took a look around for some cartoon and anime reference, and also for some cell-shaded games (like XIII), those big lines seem to be a must for the style...



I also think there is a very fine line that decides whether a map looks cartoon-like or not.

I think my Myrmidon map is a bit too relalistic.

Hatch lines won't work well with cell-shadeing. You're really fre in the choose of style I fear...

[Grug]

Hehe, it was worth a try.
How much did it set you back if you don't mind my asking.

I wouldn't mind one of the ones that is an LCD screen as well, would make it much easier I'd imagine, to be able to paint directly on to the visual screen.

I kind of like a little bit of detail in the cell maps. Not enough kinda looks a little to plain.
For FS2 anyway. Although I kind of like the Looney Tunes style, I lean slightly more towards being slightly anime style...

Maybe both could be done one day.

[Taristin]

Mayhaps I'll do some more tonight. These are piss easy!

[Ghost]

Grrr... nobody answered my question. What program do you use to save in .dds format?

[aldo_14]

you need to find a plugin for your graphics editor.

I think the info is in the wiki.

I'll have one here soon too.

Up till then I'm using the line tool + mouse. Looks a bit angularly, but also a bit more west-style.


@Gregster2k Could you post a shot with both -cell (+cell maps) and the cartoon smartshader?

I'm intrested in the result.

Seems I didn't make myself clear the first time. PSS Control II for ATI SMARTSHADER Effects ONLY works on OpenGL, which just so happens to C.T.D. on startup with this build, unsurprisingly enough.

There is no way in heck I can use the Cell Shading SMARTSHADER file with FreeSpace 2 until cell shading is implemented for OpenGL. And if it is, then whatever is causing this CTD on startup needs to be fixed.

No OpenGL, no eye candy from Gregster, its that simple. I need OpenGL cell shading to show what this looks like with HDRish overexposure effects, cell shading post filters, or television simulation overlays. So coders, hand over yar OpenGL booty or walk the plank! =P




Oh, one more thing.
I have a WACOM tablet too, I got it for my eighteenth birthday, and...its bigger than yours I'm still learning how to use it, though. Mine's the Intuos3 4x5 model.

[Taristin]

I have an intuos 3 4x5 too.

Works excellent for this. ^^



So. What ship next?

[Gregster2k]

GTVA Colossus. It needs a facelift anyway.

[Taristin]

**** no. Sorry. I mean what UV Mapped vessel next?

[Gregster2k]

Oops. Um...what format do I have to save the newly created maps in...? I mean, I don't have a DDS plugin and...well...i have these two options:

JPG
PCX

Which is better for the cellshading thing...? JPG or PCX?
