That's.... not quite what we were getting at.  I'm not sure how I could explain it more simply, so... well, a picture is worth a thousand words they say:



Also, the recent blog post left me feeling rather inspired, so I did a lil' something (wip):

That's looking nice!

Might just be me, but I think it looks like Tatooine - the ruins of some star port. Also, I like that ship. Can't wait to see it finished.

I also notice there's another ship... Is this a tech raid?!

[NITROtbomb]

ohh yea right sos not an artist (though i love drawing) i kinda see what you mean
thanks Shadow.

was that just a really opaque brush tool that you used?

Could be a raid... could be a makeshift landing facility, or a hidden base, or something like that.

Just a regular fuzzy brush putting down black; while I've got a tablet, you might not in which case you'd want the opacity fairly low.  Regardless, I was going less for proper and more for fast.

right ok

Made these two a while ago, but I can't get them working right.

The Fink, a small hangar frigate

And the Rook, a midline cruiser carrier that lacks hangar space.

The Rook isn't armed for straight out combat with 2 dual light AC, 2 dual LMG, 2 Harpoon launchers and 2 Tac lasers. The fink is used for support and has a Flak and 2 hidden swarmer launchers.
Here is the .zip with both: Rook-Carrier.zip

Been working on my own redo of the Wolf.

Probably going to fix up the glow at the front.

A lot.

Not sure what to do for the weapons though, probably some kind of funky particle weapon coming from the glow. Definitely some missile fun with the pod thingy rear of the cockpit.


Time to make vanilla moar awesome.

Lol after uploading that I realized I gibbled the lighting so bad.

Here's a comparison.


My Wolf with lighting:

I seem to have a problem with small ships and the Starsector engine's weapon rendering. Some things just dont look right. Like, when you've got a vanilla Wolf loaded up, you can barely see the ship anymore. This is a pity, because the Wolf is frakkin' gorgeous.


As far as the lighting goes, before this I had some transparent pixels coming off the ship- Don't do that if you can help it. You get weird pixel-floating when look at your damage heatmap in-game, and also it isn't very realistic. Any light being radiated by the ship would be visible on the ship's surface, but not the vacuum around it, since there's nothing for the light to bounce off of.

Look at the details around the bridge. :DDDDD

[phyrex]

idk, i dont like the look with the lighting stuff you added.
it dosent really look like the bridge is emitting light, more like the sprite is just washed out
