either. But JPG takes precedence over PCX. So...

[Gregster2k]

...JPG. Uncompressed or compressed, shaken or stirred?

[Omniscaper]

Now with all this cell craziness, will people actually create a full mod utilizing it? Or is this just for eye candy fun? I think a Futurama or Invader Zim would utilize it well. And of course anime stuff. I think a Cowboy Bebop would make an interesting mod.

Since we're comparing Wacom sizes, mine is an Intuos 12x12. Very usefull for making textures. What I really want is an Intuos2, it has 2000 levels of sensitivity and tilt sensitivity. Hove you guys seen the Wacom airbrush and 4d mouse!?

Works excellent for this. ^^



So. What ship next?

Intuos? Meh, you're rich aren't you?

I'm happy with my Volito 2. I bught it rather for some basic logo design than for graphic editing. I'm still impress how good it works with PS.


@Gregster2k Nice to see you helping us.
The best format is 256 color PCX. Just upload or send me the PCX and I'll convert it to dds.

JPG is well... not optimal for this purpose. It will be used without removing the MV packs, but I think it's wasting to much gfx ram.

Just let me handle the dds thing.

Edit: @Raa wait the Intuos is even cheaper than the Volito 2... hehe

I'd just like to say real quick that I think the Deimos and Myrmidon maps are perfect, but that some of the vasudan ones, like the Serapis, are too plain. Just my two cents.

[DaBrain]

Most anime-like....


The big ships look sweet and the fighters are plain.
(Just because it's easier to draw...)

The Myrmidon looks the a 'real' ship in action.
It looks well in the techroom only. (Well, almost.)

But feel free to redo them. It's very easy.

[Taristin]

Seth, redone correctly.

[Gregster2k]

aight, i havent even gotten started yet, i was just asking in advance...im heading off to NY for two days starting tomorrow so I need to get other things done tonight in prep...

...I might do Colossus maps now, might do them later, i dunno. we'll see...but i figure, big ships need cell shading to make em interesting BTW...after installing previous cell shading maps, check out what the Iceni looks like...its practically done already ^_^ Same goes for the GTM Hippocrates

BTW: How the hell do you change the pen nib on the Intuos3? I got all these alternate nibs AND CANT USE THEM!!! ARGHH!

Serapis is perfect for what it is. The folks at never thought FS2 would be cel-shaded, so the Serapis design is simple already. As for the other Vasudan ships, use glowmaps; they look great.

Aldo: I don't have a graphics editor; all I have is MS Paint and my viewer is Irfanview.

[DaBrain]

Raa, try to use 1024² maps for fighters.
They loose a lot of cartoon potential as soon as the lines get blured.
(I've tested that.)


I think for this map you can easily use 'sharpen'. There is not much stuff that could interfere.

[Gregster2k]

oooh...I wonder what these will look like with Emboss filters applied to them...EDIT:ICK, DONT emboss them. just tried it. fuuuugly.

BTW...Nice Seth, Raa.

[DaBrain]

The Seth looks pretty cool now.


(By Raa. Just to avoid confusion.)

[Ghost]

Dammit... My dad's on the computer; I can't check out the Seth with glows. Grr...

EDIT: Yeah, it's good... nice job, Raa. Now, on to the next order of busines.... Typhon, anyone? How bout the Orion?

[Taristin]

I'm afraid to think of what the Typhon would look like in cell shaded mode.

[Ghost]

****ing awesome, maybe? Fine, if you're such a coward, go do the Sath.


*ducks*

[Taristin]

*kicks Ghost*

[Ghost]

Hehehe... I shudder to think of what the Sath would look like in cartoon form..

[Bobboau]

who ever does it you'r going to need to use a brighter shade of grey, and you sould probly keep the glowing details the way they are.

[Taristin]

Loki ^^

[Ghost]

I'll take a look at it after I sleep... the map looks okay.
