Space Empires V....those scenes look sweet
Really impressed by the scenes/screenshots shown on Malfador Machinations' website for SE V. Definitely looking forward to this game. MOO3 was so....well to follow dear old mom's advice if you cannot say anything nice do not say anything at all.
Going off topic Star Fury reminded me of the Fading Suns Noble Armada game, which seems to be destined for vaporware. Any possibility of Malfador Machinations teaming up with Holistic design to complete such a game? Or while I am wishing...maybe more like begging, how about a Malfador Machinations remake or sequel to Emperor of the Fading Suns?

Re: Space Empires V....those scenes look sweet
If those old pics look sweet, you're going to suffer lockjaw when you see the game. (btw thanks for the aprieciation of my art)
I make alot of Wallpapers as I render different events, colonies and finale pics, and believe it or not, not everything I do will get in the game. But once the game is out we'll make alot of the stuff available for modders.
This week has been really good and I have made a few dozen renders so far. (and we're only tuesday.)
Anyway, thanks and have a great day.
Cheers! |

Re: Space Empires V....those scenes look sweet
Could you possibly post a few of those renders?

Re: Space Empires V....those scenes look sweet
Are those scenes actual screenshots from SE V, the way they are going to look in-game, or are they title screen / introductory portraits? If we're actually going to get scenes like that with the ships and planets moving around during the game, that would be absolutely fantastic.

Re: Space Empires V....those scenes look sweet
Fyron is right, but there is a bit more detail I think you might be interested in..
First, the stellar backgrounds are created in PSP using the Flamingpear Glitteretto, Solarcell and Lunarcell plugins. These are done at a 1024x768 rez.
Second, in bryce I have made a template where there is a 2D object in the background that I map the stellar background to. (with a bit of lighting to make it easier to see.
Third, I import the .3ds Versions of the Actual ship models that are being used in SE5. I then play around with different compositions and churn out renders.
Fourth, When I make planets in Lunarcell I often like them so much that I save them as planet_map pics that aaron will be able to plug into SE5. So there is a good possibility that you will see many of the planets in my renders in the final game.
This info has been brought to you by "The curious minds fodder of artsville."

Re: Space Empires V....those scenes look sweet
I believe those pictuers on Malfador home page are not in game pictures, but rather like loading-phase pictures. I am more than happy if somebody proves me wrong.
