if we are doing renders of vanilla models....







those were me being bored with truespace one rainy afternoon...


they were all rendered in HD, pm me if you want a 3 mb bmp of one

I never realized but Ranx Gunships are shockingly similar to Centurions.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME IMAGES

However...... I think the Ringer needs to still be taller and the Ranx Dreadnought thicker like the Aquila.

And I agree that the Ranx Gunships are very similar to the Centurions and I would like to see them both a little " beefier "
( I have no idea what that means, but when i see it I would know, they just seem too ... flat surfaced )


I LOVES the Clear Iovrym ( still have it ) but I feel guilty killing them because they are such great works of Art )

Today i discovered that a weapon can only have about 100 projectiles in a custom config


i also found that 91 works pretty well



it also makes some nice art

[shanejfilomena]

I do not see those weapons as practicle : I mean : how am I supposed to see out the window ?
While I am sure they are as awesome as they look :
seriously, it is totally Fly-By-Wire kind of feeling to think of weapons like that.

Not all of us are comfy letting the ship fly itself : remember the days of Auto pilot and flying straight into a Shrine's reach ?
or worse: a Citadel that drops your shields and leaves you praying to Domina that if she saves you you will donate everything....



( I do like the images, but even if they are good for code work : I don't think I would have the nerve to test one, they look extremely powerful )

[matix]

ive been expirementing with that over 100 projectiles too im REALLY interested in how you coded that orange one

[sdw195]

i didnt code the orange one, its the station exploding

[Nill]

I dare you to attack it

[Cirevam]

I know this isn't a picture but being able to push around Iocrym wrecks with my Wolfen (by ramming them, not with projectiles) was too funny to not share: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8zKxKN_hy4

Ok, i've thrown up a ton of uncropped, unproccessed images on my dropbox public gallery thing to fling at people in IRC, so I'll post a link here too. I'll be adding more to this as I make them. I'll probably prune redundant images eventually too.

Oh, and I realized that not everyone wants to use the bandwidth to flittle through hundreds of unprocessed pngs, so I made a fork of the gallery that's been reprocessed to medium quality JPG's. Not as pretty, but the main thing that gets hurt by it is the starfield backdrop and the text colors ... I probably won't remember to update this one as consistanly until I set up a conversion script cron job or something

As of writing, there's 198 images, which is 40mb in the original version and 12mb in the jpg version.

So yeah, was feeling derpy/woozy/ not good and ended up, in Starweaver's words, "using audio functions to display video". So yeah...
Anyways, this happened:

Apparently it can play .mp3, supposedly .avi, and the one shown is .mpg. The frames skip like they want to give me seizures though...
Blah, I should stop messing around with my Media Player >.>
/me passes out

[RPC]

btw, "supposedly" .avi because I used the canplaymusic check and it still went to the player, but it didn't play

I haven't seen one like this before:

Based on those images, and knowledge of computer numbers, I think you'll find the magic maximum number is 127 or 128 (1/2 of 8 bits)
