Wow. This is going to kick ÄSS!!!!!!! Hey andrew, a suggestion. It would be probobley be easier to see the transperency on the screen shot if it had planet or someting in the background, so we would be able to see the difference.

Yep -- but we had to leave something for next time.

No release date has been announced as of yet, and these are preliminary graphics, but they do illustrate the differences between the two graphics engines well (though the transparency effect isn't immediately apparent). Here's the screenshot:

The same models were used to render the ships -- on the left side you see the models as they'd appear in EV/EVO: 8 bit system palette graphics, no transparency, no glowing thrusters/beam weapons (when active).
On the right side, you see the models as they'd appear in the new EV3 graphics engine: 16 bit color, transparent effects (the explosions, thrusters and weapons look especially cool transparent), glowing thrusters.

Hmmm, now where do I reconize that ship from.... OH YA! Andrew does this mean what I think it does? Or was it used for convience sake? If it does then I should be quiet...

No, but I know what you are. Although I don't exactly remember that specific ship, I can recognize fairly well the work of a person if they use the same program on both, and...

Are you two talking about what I think you are talking about?

Boy people always are quick to make assumptions
Hmm, LightWave. This is way off-track, but SkullLeada has gotten LightWave just before he left. Just a look to the past.
Stellar explosions would be pretty damned cool!

The cool thing is that even though we're using 16 bit graphics (32 bit for rendered scenes/pictures), it uses less memory for the same sprites than EV/EVO used for 8 bit graphics.
Wow! That rocks!!

Hey, you're right... I didn't think of that... And I'm the one who told Shade of this meaning in the first place...
My feature request:
Knowing that so many poeple out there really would like EV to be multiplayer, and as you are making a completely new engine, why don't you throw in multiplayer? It might be difficult, but a lot easier than making a multiplayer patch for EV:O, right?
And try to blend some of the original EVs little things into the EV3 story... that would be very nice, as that were when I got hooked
One more thing: Is the game gonna be on a CD like Farazels Wand or is it gonna be compact enough to download?
BTW, that is a beautiful ship! Wow!

No, it isn't going to happen.
Hehehe, ya just "throw" it in. Uh huh, ya right man. Besides he already mentioned that something like that would have to be totally written specificly for Multiplayer, not some extra thing for single player.
Dragon No news is good news I suppose
This be kroffen. Only how easy will it be for plugin developers to make graphics with the new engine? Will it be sort of like working with an animated bunch of Photoshop layers?
