[quote]wow that sounds very great would they all ingame in the next release?[/quote] The models are done ... but, they need a texture to be included ingame ... just Tobi and I are texturing ... Ships = model/tex done are included ingame for 0.40 ... so EA Explorer and Apollo ... hopefully the new Sharlin ... Any extra hands are always welcome to make textures for the ships and we'd be able to include more ships with each release:) &nbs

[quote who="TobiWahn_Kenobi" reply="1319" id="2561100"]Looks stunning! Edit: Just a thought, perhaps you should make the Holes on the Ribs a bit smaller and use the normalmap to sink the holes in a little[/quote] Yes, holes already, sunk in .nm ... yes will make holes smaller once I've got them all aligned + all the other adjustments I need to make on it:) Thanks for the input.

Later, we use nuke bomb against shadow - as in series with battle Narn fleet vs. shadow for Gorash 7. I try finish this ability soon as possible.

Sharlin Early Tex. WIP update: ingame shots A lot more details to add to .cl (a very nice AO layer from Tobiwahn) Teaser 0.40 News - Shadow friendly AI: <img src="http://1.bp.b
[quote]As for the Ambient Occlusion - this is an effect you normally get from Global Illumination (at much higher cost) Global illumination is a lightning model using radiosity where light is coming from all directions. This creates the effect that parts of the model that touch other parts are made darker because of the diffusion of light (damn english, sometimes my knowledge of english is not enough to explain complex concepts... sham on me) For a much better explanation see

[quote who="TobiWahn_Kenobi" reply="1287" id="2549089"] @SteinerX I have put a file for you onto dropbox - SharlinAmbient_Occlusion.psd It has AO baked for your texture. You should use it as an overlay for the cl using the blend mode multiply in Photoshop. It may need some correction at the end of the main mesh, but that can be worked out easily. Rendering took the last 2 days, so I hope you like it. Cheers [/quote

In the .tga and .dds the alpha needed to be altered for the new portrait pics, etc... as it masks the the pictures so areas need to be deleted for the new pictures to appear ... Have altered most but n
