I've decided to stop procrastinating and bite the bullet. I'll be baking my glow map by arranging many little lights, a process during which I generated this image. It's just a test to see how the hull was being illuminated, but it looked neat. Note the abstraction of the form, and the indeterminate nature of the depth. It's hard to determine which areas recede and which advance which is cool.

This one is a bit more illustrative of what the actual geometry is.

While I'm not exactly sure what part it is I'm looking at, it is very dark and creepy.

Love the baked glowmaps.

Destiny · **Reply #124 on:** July 08, 2011, 09:02:26 am

Looks pretty...evil, like inside of a Shivan ship.

Luis Dias · **Reply #125 on:** July 08, 2011, 09:03:39 am

Well.... you're going to multiply those omnilights like ten times to make those tiny light dots disappear....

.... right?

bobbtmann · **Reply #126 on:** July 08, 2011, 05:23:03 pm

Nope. Those tiny little dots are on the glowy red portions of the ship. In photoshop I'll put the predesignated red bits over top of my baked map, hiding where the lights were exactly. You won't see the points.

Luis Dias · **Reply #127 on:** July 08, 2011, 07:32:52 pm

Ah righto. Well you are the experienced man!

oh, this baby is gonna be mean!

[/lurk] Awesome! [lurk]

Wow. That looks simply fantastic.

bobbtmann · **Reply #131 on:** July 10, 2011, 04:27:50 am

This should bake right this time. Won't find out for a while, though.

Kobrar44 · **Reply #132 on:** July 10, 2011, 04:52:08 am

that's realy... red. May look kind of weird ingame.

bobbtmann · **Reply #133 on:** July 10, 2011, 04:58:29 am

There are a few lights I might change up at the front, make it more subdued.

Nyctaeus · **Reply #134 on:** July 10, 2011, 07:53:23 am

The big red glow on the bottom of the ship is too big and it don't fit to the rest of the this. Anyway, it's f***ing amazing! Looks very dark and pretty scary as the Sath should look, in the difference to RGA's cartoonish Sathanas. Can't wait for your version ingame

For the first time I'm having to debate with myself over which I want in my AoA folder

Commander Zane · **Reply #136 on:** July 11, 2011, 05:56:38 pm

That would be scary to see in-game shooping some Destroyers.

Kolgena · **Reply #137 on:** July 11, 2011, 09:56:21 pm

Definitely one of the better ships that use baked lighting into the glow map. At the top face of the neck, it is a tid bit overdone though

bobbtmann · **Reply #138 on:** July 27, 2011, 06:07:23 am

May I direct your attention towards this thread:

http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=77199.0

The response on the modding board was a bit underwhelming, and I'm no closer to finishing this. Either I get messages about instances of geometry not found, or PCS 2 just crashes.

Droid803 · **Reply #139 on:** July 27, 2011, 01:05:31 pm

bah, just do the stupid firepoint **** in PCS2.

reset x-form on everything, set up hierarchy right, export, global import firepoint data from the retail model >.>
you need them to be pretty much like that anyway.
