Re: New Race: Tessellate
 

The ship portrait is placed transpatenly over the star background in a similar to how mini pics are always used to make it look it's in the middle of space.

A background or if the whole ship does not completely fit inside the picture will ruin that effect.

A not defined border that blends into the star background may be more acceptable.

It's your choice if you want to keep a background that makes ships look crudely cropped in those situations that are not so common anyway.

Andrés Lescano and Geo
Thanks for the comment and explanation. It is good input.

"The backgrounds clash with the rest of SE4 too much."
Well I do want feedback and I do appreciate the input.
That was something of a categorical statement. Considering the sets you have indicated you like I suspect that even if they had a solid black background you would not care for it.

I’m working on a “Escherism” set. I wonder how folks will like it.

Re: New Race: Tessellate
 

Gryphin, Sorry, but I need to say this.

To Whom Ever: There is just one mini with the bright Background. I did one with and one without, Fleet_mini.bmp. So, you can chose which you like. If do not like the Bright Background delete it. The shipset will still work!

They're the Heralds (Pyrochette).

If it's this other: http://www.classicgaming.com/starcontrol/sc3/exq.shtml
They're the Exquivan (Aquilaeian).

Re: New Race: Tessellate
 

ARCK! lol no. i know my SC3 races. There is another Pyrochette portrait before the herald. It is not 3d, and is of a green alien with a face full of tentacles and a hat on his head.

That is why he is great Cthulhu in a hat. I want to now where this image came from.

Re: New Race: Tessellate
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">hehehehehe, is the original Pyrochette's picture. Was done by Joel Joines, the guy who did the complete Pyrochette's shipset.

Re: New Race: Tessellate
 

He drew it?
