Okay, I'm back, and I need some more specific stuff.
I've got my drydock now, but i need a few more graphics to round out the game. I can get by without them, but it'd be SO nice to have them!
I'm using the Laertians from Adam's shipyard. Unfortunately, they don't have a station sprite to call their own. It'd be nice if someone could whip me up a Laertian-style station or two.
My plug is an alternate universe EVO. The Strands (Zidagar, Igazdra, Azdgari) are almost two centuries dead, so the signature Strand warships aren't being used by any of the new governments. HOWEVER, there are still renegades. Many have begun building their own custom designs, but there will always be a few who are stuck flying whatever they can find. This INCLUDES Strand warships.
I'd like to get some re-renders done of some of the Strand ships, for use as Renegades. These renders should reflect the fact that these ships are almost two centuries old, and have been repaired, patched and modified a great deal over this time, and not always expertly or neatly (These ARE the renegades too poor to aforrd one of the newer pirate ships). These versions should look beat up and just this side of falling apart. The ships i'd like include:
Arada Crescent Warship Lazira
With both of these requests I'd like to get the sprites done fairly large. The ship sprites I'm using in my plug (the warships anway) are larger than the stock EVO sprites (More in line with the warship/fighter proportions), so if I could get a bigger Crescent Warship, I'd be estatic.
If anyone is interested, post a reply or send me an e-mail at Polenicus@shaw.ca
Thanks!

I've got the Override models on hand, and I'd be glad to take a shot at those re-renders you requested. You want them beat up, yet considerably modified? More weapons, with hulls falling apart?

Exactly. The majority of these ships are salvaged wrecks. Since there's a definite shortage of spare parts (The Strands aren't around to make 'em anymore) they have to make due with what they've got, adapting current technology as best they can. Perhaps some external missile racks (No more SAD's or dispersion rockets, thouh the Miranu are still around, so you can get Pursuit missiles), extra armor grafted on and roughly patched hull breaches... perhaps even a wing or two missing.

Heh, that's beat up all right. I've got some good rusty and dirty textures on hand, so I'll apply those to the original models and see how it goes. Thanks for the detailed description, that always helps.

Well, mebbe you can help me with the space station.
I'm looking for a fairly large station. It should be green and white, the Laertian colours, and fairly advanced... the Laertians have been in space for a long time. These should be stations that you'd expect them to live on full time... perhaps domed cities? At any rate, the Laertians tend towards solid, bulbous structures. Take a look at the Escargo on Adam's website.
I just about finished your Arada last night (I'll try to finish it today. Busy schedule). I applied some dark metal plating with rust effects included, and darkened the green fins considerably. Six persuit missiles can be seen under the wings (also dark and rusted), and I plan on adding some bashed holes and torn edges to the texture for a finishing touch.
Do you want new target pics with these renegade ships? Also, does 40x40 pixels sound like a good sprite size for the Arada (any larger makes it look like a warship).

Coolness.
40x40 sounds good. As for the target pics, can you do them in the style of the other redone ships on your site? (i.e. the 3/4 view with the green outline and the technical readout.)
Got a Q.... if I sent you the 3/4 shipyard views of the other ships I'm using from other shipyards, could you give them the same type of target pic?
Originally posted by Polenicus: **Coolness.
Ok then, 40x40 it will be.
Sure, I'd be glad to make the target pics for your graphics. As long as there aren't too many to do, I'll let you get by without paying.
The station... All right, I will try to make this as well as some other...graphics. I can also just do some quick things for the others, I have some neat ideas in mind.
Here's the Arada. Does it fit the idea you had in mind? Enough holes, rust, dirt?

Here are the others. I also did a Crescent Fighter, since it plays a major role as a renegade craft.

YES! Exactly!
Hey, not really the one for this topic but what was the size for the station sprites you wanted? I found the bryce file so I`ll be rerendering it soon.

Make them large so I can scale down as needed. Maybe 104x104 or so. Thanks!
Originally posted by Polenicus: **YES! Exactly!
Excellent! And only one attempt! This has got to be my first time... hehe.
You want sprites for the crescent fighter as well? You didn't specifically request it, but I figured it would be necessary.

A bunch of pictures originally posted by Captain Skyblade: < snip>
You should change the Patch Detail to Medium or High. It makes a big difference when you render Crescent Fighters and the like.

It was at high, but still managed to sneak some of those ugly polygons into the crescent fighter nose. I'll try smoothening the front via modeller.
Polenicus: You want top sprites, or 3/4?

Top sprites, please, to match my other ships.
I'd like the Crescent fighter too, if you don't mind. And thank you for going to the extra trouble!
Originally posted by Polenicus: **Top sprites, please, to match my other ships.
Heh, no problem. I'll try to get them to you as soon as I can. My G3 with all my website / graphics stuff went wacko today, so it might take longer then I would hope. :frown:
