Following some of sandwich's (mostly) tips...



- any thoughts, comments, random abuse?

Though the big explosion is bit too transparant IMO

[beatspete]

less transparency, 162kb

[Gortef]

really good one... really really good one

allthough the flak looks like it's loosing power but still

Yeah, the spikes are kinda strange, but still a very good pic

The shaddow should blur a bit, but i'm not sure how to do that.

Latest, now with different beam and impact.

Version 1.03, 162kb

Don't you recognize the shadow of a Moloch?

Actually, I think the shadow is a bit out of place.  If the sun's that bright...and even then, the beam would put out enough light to overpower the sun shining on the Deimos, and there wouldn't be such a noticeable shadow footprint.

That and the flak burst looks a little weak IMHO.

EDIT:  err, some of us (i.e. myself) aren't registered at Warpstorm...

that redish spiky things is a big odd
otherwise i wana see fs2 that way

Rotate the turrets and blur the (shadow if you find out how) then it will be sweet

[beatspete]

Turret rotate i can do - just tried it now - though it would be too much work to get it into the image again. I'll remember it in the future.
Flak flash has been updated.
I'm not sure how to blur the shaddow (in truespace) Does anyone know?

What do you think of the holes in the hull? The shivans shot out the weapons and engines. Clever things they are.

actually, no, it shouldn't, no atmosphere or anything, lightning in space is very sharp ( well, the sharpest you can get ).
anyway, as others said already: RTFT!!! yay!

nice otherwise

[an0n]

It would get my Seal-O-Approval, but I'd get banned for posting it.

The hull looks neat, I dig.
But the flak still looks like it has lost it's will to fight.

But mostly because nobody's posting anything else these days, and I like the concept. The transparency bothers me a bit, and the existing damage should be emphasized more- there's that one pitted section, and other than the explosions that's about it.


Maybe a hole through the very bottom bit, like a stray beam punched through it, with rebar inside and ****. THAT would make it look cool.

Make dead marines/crewmen float around the ship

And shivans feeding off them?


Anyway Stryke, i could actaully model the damage.  Only just occured to me - object subtraction.  That way i can make a cylender for the beam, put it through the ship, subtract - and you have a huge hole through the ship.  I need to work out how to texture the surface of the hole though.

[Stryke 9]

YES! RETITLE IT "LUNCH"!:D


Maybe something more jagged, though. A vert-edited cylinder, at least.
