Welcome to moderatorship, Flip.

LOL Thanks, though, of course, that means I have to start being responsible

[Taristin]

Yeah, that was one of the things that irked me, but look at my latest posts...

T3h Ravana is mine! ^_^

Oh, and the Hecate != ugly anymore. It = perdy. Granted, Lightspeed hates it, but neh...

(On that note, it's not forgotten )


VA! I noticed those people long ago -__-;

The villagers are restless! They want progress! And by progress they actually mean pics, regardless of progress!

Eh. The villagers want more pics! ph34r!

[Vasudan Admiral]

Grim - that would be because i sent you a pic of the darkside clearly showing them long ago.

Uhh, no updates on this, but DaBrain has been a big help with texture formats and compression via PMs, so the result should be the optimal blend of performance and quality - thanks mate.

*gets back to work*

[DaBrain]

Same. For creating these great models.

[Raptor]

Don't forget my work on the Aeolus!  I started it all!

And that Lucifer....

...
:yes:

[Vasudan Admiral]

Oh hey - you're back again! Now go finish the Hera!

Oh wait - being the originator - what's your virdict on the little people in the windows? (i tried to improve them and also upgraded the glowmaps )

OT, is it possible to randomly choose the splash from a pile of availible images?  Cycling through T/V/S ship comparisons (even cutscene-style wireframe comparisons) and glory shots and dynamic close shots would be better than the current method, where at least 50% of everyone hates whatever gets chosen

i wouldn't think that would be too painful to do.

[Taristin]

I demand room furnishings be shown in those windows!

I never left..
...I'm just as regular as before...

The Hera will be a while... had to restart the texturing (again ).  Working on that single super map was killing my PC.

As for the little people... Perfect!  Now you see just how big these ships are!

[FireCrack]

Yeah, people are better now. They were too sharp before.

[Pnakotus]

I knew that'd bring Grim out of the woodwork again!

If the Triton and the Hecate get replaced, that only leaves the Colossus as 'ugly'.  And there really isn't a lot you can do with THAT.

Jonathan_S47 has made a start in that direction actually, in this thread at Game Warden.
And i think Karma began work on one a long while ago, but i haven't seen anything about it since.

Raa: I'll look at furnishings after i finish animating all the cockroaches running around in the galley.

Raptor: I'd reccommend using a 4096x4096 res map for the main hull. It's about the max that most graphics cards can support anyway - and it should give you more than enough area to put the details on at decent in-game res.

[Cobra]

hey, VA, while you're at it maybe add some crewman's quarters, a mess hall, and the bridge.

I started working  with a 5120x2560 map (which would b reduced down to 4096x2048 for in game), but it was killing my PC.

Now I've got 2 2560x2560 maps.  They'll be reduced to 2048x2048 once done.

And to honest, it's not the details that are the pain (though doing all those viewports... ).  It's doing the main hull texturing that has me struggling...

yes, I'm making a (very) high poly colossus.
I got some problems which stopped my work in the last months but now thanks to a new pc I'm back at work. Nonetheless It'll take some months to finish it, I may post some wips later, but not before there'll be enough stuff to give an idea of the overall look since some parts taken alone are mmmmm a bit strange:p

[Kosh]

Will the hi poly Lucifer still be able to have animated glowmaps? I thought they made the original look a lot better.......

[WeatherOp]

I've also have started on a HTL Aeolus, but like what Karma's doing, it's probley gonna have the nickname "computer killer", not to metion the fact that I'm gonna break cannon in a whole lot of ways.But, it is mostly an experiment, for a Mod I'm thinking about starting.
