what program?

More vigorous greebling and a new avatar!

Spoiler:

This one....this exactly the short of scheme and control I want.

[Dr Lee]

I'm all for that. Bellerophon has real potential. I could see it next to some of the stuff boberth is doing. I wish you could do it in the same visual syle as he. In fact I want that program...that's the ONE I want. Which is it?

I believe he uses Lightwave... Very Expensive unfortunately.....

[thekillman]

ok i am trying to generate engine glow with particle systems instead of "classic" haloes

Think it's SKetchup, rendered in Lightwave.

I remember the scene when Caldwell's ship comes out of hyperspace and they are immediately attacked and the shots are striking right in front of the bridge...seems like this follows the same positioning.

indeed thats what i base my assumption on but also a few shots from "The Siege"


Vis Uban

Alx, vis uban is stunning! Keep up the good work

Thanks i will!

vis uban looks.... strange somehow. extremely like and extremely unlike atlantis at the same time.

i hope you're gonna ad buildings between the pier and the centre. so we wont have six or seven isolated areas, but rather ones interconnected. and use more of the space inbetween the piers. like, adding landing pads

Um thanks i guess?
and asa fr buildings i'll just se where i go personally i am fond of the isolated
city looks.. some great ideas though!

perhaps different levels, platforms higher up where buildings are located exc

good thought... hows your base coming along then?

also made myself alittle more progress pics up in a bit!

give me some feedback if you wish!

[Experiment 442]

Started retexturing and redoing the details on the head of the Aria.

Spoiler:

And an engine shot for the glow effect:

Spoiler:

I found out it was the gun batteries causing all the lag in renders. I put them in a layer so it would run faster. And now its working Hasn't cashed once.

[thekillman]

looks cool.


i still hope we see more... city

[thekillman]

ahhh i did it again. blender is trying to cope with the vast amount of energy coming from my engines. infact, the ESC key doesnt work, it just says Blender:Render(reageert niet), (AKA Does Not React).

442, why is the texture warping on the second pic? Is the texture being squashed?

[Alx]

looks cool.

we will we will! i still have the central city to build and it will be the size of all 6 pier cities combined... i think! so there will be plenty of city in due time

$795 ?

That's not bad...Auto CAD was 4000 G's!
(It hurt me)

[thekillman]

the texture warps because it is being rendered as if it's super-small. a problem that can be averted by re-texturing.

for me that's expensive.....
