lol, you made a vid for that
ok I got it, now

And what about this?



Now I need feedback about brightness. Can you spot the small logo in the lower-right corner?

what can I say..ehm.. add coronas
kidding. Nice ones. but why is the pyro so 'isometric' while the fog effect has all the perspective pumped up? and why doesn't the pyro get a little of the colored lights?

I got it. No glow, or limited glow. Solid red, partial highlights, bare orange gradient. The image I ended up with surprised me, I guess you will appreciate too. Be patient...

(p.s. you can extract a non-jpeg version of that bg using hamm tool on the d1 big file. it is a pcx format)

weird.
All those primaries... it's too colorful an glossy, not very friendly to the descent atmospheres. The flares are too large.

Update, almost final version.

CLICKY

(TOo dark, I know. Minor scratchings on the logo)

Don't forget the slight red glow on the lower rocks.

Do you mean the rock behind the letters?

Great job! I think it would look best if the letters were red-painted metal and scratched to all hell.
What do you mean with 'painted'? i thought the letters were intended to be glowing. But I admit ...

///UPDATE: releases
here is the first version. I may consider future improvements, but they are good so far.
Adjust brightness using the -altbg_brightness[0 to 1] switch
Thanks for all the critics

what do you mean with "campaign"? if it regards descent, the first things are the 6dof...

The Ut2k4 mod thread, as i see, is dead.
I was just thinking about this option. That's even more theoric than the ut2k4 mod, because i don't have the needed c++programming skills by now(a miracle if i can correctly use a pointer :roll:, but good in modeling and level editing), so it's up to you.
But ...

I can help you (if you still need help...)

yes, you're right. When i did the secondaries, about 6 months ago, i didn't have all the knowledge wich i've got now and wasn't able to make such (i think) high quality renders like the phoenix.
Obviously i've stored all the source files for every item so I can do some "remakes" after i completed ...

I'm pleased of your comment but in this period i'm busy with other projects, i'll get on the Magnum as soon as i have completed my current occupations

okay, okay, you've convinced me.
Wow, seems we have to do a lot of work to give the game a descent look! A new HUD, a cockpit, new textures(many could be recycled from UT), new robots(their models and textures, plus some appropriate AI script :oops:!)

Man, this project is the occasion to give ...

I know, however hl2 is just coming out in August(I hope..).

Just a question: what lets us know that a descent-like game (i mean, the only particular thing to create is a zero-grav vehicle) is surely possible?
Has been already experimentesd that?

I can help here as a modeler, but...

i already had this idea a lot of time ago; but i din't think about UT, maybe because i hate its graphics engine. I thought about HALF LIFE 2.
The modding tools for the modeling/graphic part is already avaiable (a special version of XSI. You know what is XSI ...

Finally the phoenix has been completed. It's up and waiting for you...
I like so much the second render (the one with the blue strpes)!

yes I know he is always joking :lol:
He doesn't understand that the similarity is a positive thing, because you feel it's the real phoenix whithout any polycount limit.
IF he's not joking, i could write here an infinite number of things that can trash its theories

But, you know, I'm not pleased of ...

I could make even better textures if i only had a tablet or some skills in hand-free drawing...

The base mesh is almost finished

allright, the boss area is up now.
Next, the phoenix. I imagine it with cool sportive decals... like fast and furious

i was talking about italian>english translation. I'm italian. I'm not so good in complex sentences translations!

The next is the magnum, but it can wait if you prefer the phoenix first

a 7th boss render is coming as soon as i get the description translated

For that, you should wait for descent IV...

For trackball: cool. Thanks

You wouldnt mind if I did an article about your art on my site would you? Might get you an extra couple visitors.


And you're asking that? sure! Go! :D

Hello everyone,
I'm here just to announce the majour update on my gallery, regarding the new pyro gx renders.
Now they are totally new, I had a direct talk with Eagle and we clarified all.
Now these are 100% made by me (and parallax software, obviously); even the textures now aren't image map based ...
