Well I always try to work on the ugliest part of FS2.
Since many parts got updated, one part that once was pretty beautiful when FS2 was released, looks now outdated.

I thought I could work a bit on the nebula poofs.

(Please view at full size.)

I'm not sure about this one, but if you like it I'll complete it and release it.

Goodluck.

Most looks really good. Are you redoing all retail nebuleas.

DaBrain · **Reply #2 on:** May 22, 2005, 01:30:05 pm

Actually I've just completed the last one.

Zarax · **Reply #3 on:** May 22, 2005, 01:39:48 pm

They looks much better now, good work DaBrain

Black Wolf · **Reply #4 on:** May 22, 2005, 01:53:40 pm

Wow. They look awesome. Kudos.

To be honest, I really hate the way FS2 does its nebula in the first place. But reworking it would be such a massive task that it's really not worth it. These look perfectly fine though - considering what you have to work with in the first place

I don't notice as much difference in the blue/pinkish one, but the rest are great. I'll take them, if you release them.

Question, could you help me tweak what ever the combo is for the atmosphere nebula? In regular fs2 it was a little thick but workable. Now when you run the Robotech mod in the SCP it is WAY too thick!!! It's like you're in one big cloud with no blue sky at all. Is there a way to thin it out more? I don't know if it is a result of a nebula pcx change or just a setting in fred. Sorry for the noobish question.

DaBrain · **Reply #8 on:** May 22, 2005, 04:05:27 pm

Well, I can't help you with that very much. I'm really trying to pull of a similar effect for the SF mod....

I can only edit the poofs. The distance fog won't be affected.

Let us hope of a neat code change and an option in FRED.

The 'range' option didn't help me much either.

I've to check something about these poofs. Maybe I can reduce the memory usage to the half ammount.

Looks good...

DaBrain · **Reply #10 on:** May 22, 2005, 04:42:13 pm

Ok, I'm done.

Try this one. It takes up less ram.

If you have any problems with that one, try the other one.
I played a bit around with the Alpha channel. I don't know if it has any effect at all, but it might look better.

Sorry, but I can't tell the difference.

Taristin · **Reply #12 on:** May 22, 2005, 04:47:26 pm

Honestly... they look too... fiberous for my tastes.

The images are the same, but the game *may* use them different. If the look the same in-game, that's even better.

They have my vote. Get 'em in the next VPs!

FireCrack · **Reply #15 on:** May 22, 2005, 09:51:08 pm

The purple poof in the first download is corrupt.

I'll check that.

Edit: You are right. I'm re-uploading it now.

Edit2: Ok, it should work now.

MetalDestroyer · **Reply #17 on:** May 23, 2005, 03:18:55 am

Can you have a nebula effect like I war 2 or X² ?
It seems the nebulaes are the same as the original.

DaBrain · **Reply #18 on:** May 23, 2005, 03:33:08 am

Nope I can't do nothing about the system. The only thing I can do is to create high-res textures for the poofs.
But still, I think X² has worse nebulas.

Ransom · **Reply #19 on:** May 23, 2005, 04:39:38 am

I thought X2's nebulas looked terrible.

These look a lot better than the old graphics, nice work DaBrain.
