for a little FL-modding project of mine...
pc=2,4k still got the observation dome to texture...beautyshot will follow...

on a sidenote: the writing on the back says: "we don't break for commies!" Wink

Not bad. Nice little piece of texturing work there Smile

blaXXer · **Posted**: 02-08-2006 11:03 PM

you call that LITTLE...? Wink

it's currently 3 1600x1600 textures for the ship with at least two further textures(1024x1024) for the observation dome and one for the main docking bay(512x512) planned.

or sensors

nebs got it right...
it might not be clear, but this not a ST ship...

**Armondikov** · **Posted**: 02-09-2006 03:07 PM

Obviously, the "We don't break for commies" was a dead give away.

Yes, good textures. However, I'm a little concerned about how the windows at the front look. They may be okay for a game or something but they need more detail considering your texture resolution.

blaXXer · **Posted**: 02-09-2006 03:15 PM

oh well it is for a game (Freelancer)...the big 1600x1600 textures will eventually be resized to 1024x1024 so there's no need to put extra detailing onto them...

Hey blax, if you're gonna drop down the res on some of those textures, why not have it in BC too? It looks pretty cool.

blaXXer · **Posted**: 02-09-2006 05:02 PM

well,we can of course port it ove, but this one is part of a much larger mod for FL which will have to be released first.
when that's done, we can surely have it in BC.

nice to have you back, man!

p.s. what's that in your sig? that looks interesting...

DJ Curtis · Admiral Joined: 09 Feb 2006 Posts: 2381 Location: Canada

Well, I'm looking forward to it. As for the sig, I'll post up some pix later today maybe of it. It's a WIP.

check www.img-modding.de

but, if you post there, keep that image to yourself until I have my teaserpack released.
not following that sufggestion will result in an immediate ban from the IMG forums.
so, you have been warned.

the textures seem bland and cartoon ish.

blaXXer · **Posted**: 02-11-2006 12:58 AM

just as everyting else in FL...but wait until you see the wallpaper with the appropriate bump and specular maps Wink

**Armondikov** · **Posted**: 02-11-2006 04:56 PM

Bump and spec usually make quite a bit of difference. However, check your top down view and look at the two panels at the back. Either flip them or make them different.

blaXXer · **Posted**: 02-12-2006 12:50 AM

ah, you meant those, already fixed that, will post new renders soon.

blaXXer · **Posted**: 02-15-2006 11:28 PM

some testshots for the wallpaper...

Kewl blax! i gotta say, i like the weathered look, it really suits the style of spacecraft.

blaXXer · **Posted**: 02-16-2006 12:19 AM

hehe...thx. I'm posting new shots with this beauty against a whole squadron fighters soon.

blaXXer · **Posted**: 02-17-2006 01:30 PM

reworked the borders:

**Armondikov** · **Posted**: 02-18-2006 05:39 PM

Not bad now that its composited properly.

blaXXer · **Posted**: 02-18-2006 10:02 PM

well, for a game mesh I think I did some good work...

**Armondikov** · **Posted**: 02-19-2006 12:38 AM

Definitely not bad for a game mesh. Although I recommend having a good go over the textures again, they're high quality but they are a bit repetitive on some panels, the aim is to either disguise the fact you're using a generic panels texture or not use them at all.

k, I suppose you have played Freelancer, yes?
good. the original FL storyline takes place in the Sirius-Sector, the Sol-Sector is the Area of space where the Sol system (earths solar system) is (was) located.
