the beam is not thick enough, compared to ingame. also, i suggest using a different frame, and using a few frames pasted next to eachother on different layers, so you can play with transperency.

that's how i'd do it in PSP anyway.

Frame? That is similar to a layer, right?

use the screen blending option for all effects.

get a better shot, maybe a close up of the new fenris, and... something else.

Nice effort. Just keep working on it, try new stuff, go nuts with PS and different effects. You have a lot of power at your fingertips.

i meant frames from the ani. if you look at it in ani view, it has multiple frames. use a few from those, put them all on different layers, and play around with blending through transperency. it appears that Carl thinks the screen function might be usefull

ok. Lets give it a try with the new fenris then - ive got all night to come up with a good screenshot

[Singh]

ack. after hours of work, all I get is this lousy piece of sh!t!

1) beam doesnt look quite right

2) good piece of advice: *never* have text that is directly at the image border. Move it some pixels (2-3 at least) up/down into the image.

3) Font seems a bit odd.

make the finres bigger and get rid of the beam glow, or what ever that ugly ugly thing is

[StratComm]

That looks more like a Trek font than a Freespace one.  And, I said it but it seems to have dissapeared: switch the relative locations of the Fenris and Rakshasa.  Right now the low-detail one is in the foreground, and the high-detail one is in the back, so you make the whole picture look lower in quality than it actually is.

The Fenris should be firing, that would make it look a lot better than just charging up.
