Those mechanicals look waaaay better. Could we get a shot of the underside though? Since that is the part that has the greatest risk of looking bad.

[Rodo]

Those mechanicals look waaaay better.

Agreed, nice work Sab'

[Sab0o]

Baking light is pretty awkward...

[Tomo]

As a real-life lighting engineer, you've gone too far in places.

The underside looks great. Well done!

The topside though - your temp lights were too high up off the surface, and probably too bright.
Bring them right down to touch the polygon that's your 'luminaire'.

The ones near the aft should not illuminate the body at all, just a glow around the edges of the recess. (For realism, only the recess itself in fact)

The ones near the cockpit are probably close to the right place, but they're far too bright. Try an 1/8th of the brightness

Other than that:
- I think you may have normal trouble in the guns - I see a lit polygon that's facing away from the lights.

- Hint: Use several lights in a line to get a rectangular glow. They are all a bit circular right now.

HE IS GEORGE LUCAS!!!

[Kolgena]

Everything Tomo said.

But yeah, underside is seriously *****in, and the ambient lighting effects look great.

[Zacam]

Hopefully it's noted that the ambient light glows should be placed in the glow map and not baked into the diffuse.

(I can't just assume that anything is common knowledge anymore, so if you already knew that/did it the right way, then carry on)

The intensity is a bit much, but you've already heard that. LOVE me that underside shot though, now THERE is some detailed mechanical that pretty much lays waste to anything else we have right now.

[Mongoose]

God I want to fly this thing's brains out

[Sab0o]

It's got a shine map now, and the greebles look really good with it. [Even more so in motion]
to do:
fix missiles they look weird
add glowy things in glow map
add skull.

[Mars]

That looks great. I take back any criticism I might have had

[Kolgena]

By glowy bits I hope you mean the ambient glow

You know, it's a damn shame that you only get to see this masterpiece once or twice during the campaign as a bonus unmentioned unlockable.

Play Derelict; you blow up plenty of D.H.s

It will also be featured in Inferno.

Great job, once again.  Any chance of texturing AthlonBoy's Boanerges anytime soon?

[Tomo]

Jaw-droppingly gorgeous.

[Commander Zane]

Ah luff it.

[Dragon]

BP also features Artemis D.H. heavly, this will greatly improve the look of GTVA bombing raids.

[Aurora Paradox]

That is one sweet looking bomber.  I don't think creating a new texture for the GTB Hydra will be necessary.  The default one will do just fine.

[sigtau]

admit it

you'd hit it

also this kicks some serious ass

[Thaeris]

I'd still love to see a sharper profile on the canopy leading edge, but it's come a long way from the beginning.

Good show, Sir.

[mjn.mixael]

Good show, Sir.

I disagree though, the Artemis has always had a giant bubble cockpit.

[Thaeris]

It had a giant bubble, but it did have some sharpness to it at the leading edge; this made for a sleeker, more agressive looking bomber.

In any sense, I admit this insight is pretty old and probably past the point of consideration for the time being. Again, great work, SabOo.
