Re: New Shipset -- The Blackstar Nexus
 

I agree - a nice-looking shipset indeed.

But one question...

Dogscoff, when oh WHEN will the KanesS be finished? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: New Shipset -- The Blackstar Nexus
 

Xaren Hypr, I like your set. Very clean! I have one question. Why didn't you use a Bump in the texture?

Re: New Shipset -- The Blackstar Nexus
 

That is a very nice set, I like the bases and units especially. Neo-standard compliant, too- excellent.

I wasn't quite expecting this kind of response...I guess de-lurking isn't so dangerous after all http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Suicide Junkie: I used mechs for the troops/infantry as the soldiers don't pilot the mechs, they are the mechs. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I might edit the drone tho..I was going for a technorganic look (the green-black), but it's sometimes a bit too dark, it seems.

mlmbd: I'm kinda new to DOGA http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif , what do you mean by using a Bump in the texture? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Well, I have to finish the Vikings first, and I started them about 2 years ago...

Actually, I will probably have an early release Version (ie all the standard ships but not all neostandard ones) ready in the next month or so. I'm a slow worker when it comes to these things, and I keep getting sidetracked, usually by offering to do race portraits for people or by RL or by the nxp or by Othaglot & Cane...

Anyway... yeah. I'll get back onto it, maybe I'll have time for some graphics this weekend. The AI (proportions only) is ready to go thanks to Oleg, I just need to get the bases, mines, troops, drone, a few fighters and baseships done. Gulp.

Re: New Shipset -- The Blackstar Nexus
 

Xaren Hypr, you have created a very nice set! I espcially like the brightness of the ships, they should show up nicely against the stars.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Speaking of that...I'm finally getting close to completion on the Verdurans (I work slowly, too). Are you still planning on doing a race portrait for them? (No problem if you're not, just let me know)

Re: New Shipset -- The Blackstar Nexus
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It is a texture add to the surface. It gives the surface depth. In the 'Texture Tab' of DOGA L3 it is the third square over. You can tweak it with % of depth, % of density and then you may want to invert it. Hope that helps! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
