Just wanted to post about the CIC frontpage news update screen shots... Excellent. I cannot wait to be able to play Standoff. Beautiful work.

Or, possibly even a Metroid-esque "find your way to your ship before this ship/station/planet gets blown up" sequence.
Well, that's my guess.Delance said:BTW, what are those "holes" in front of the Crossbow for? Torpedo launch?
Eder said:I'm still trying to figure out why I posted the Crossbow/Rapier one instead of the Crossbow/Rapier/Sabre one - three ships should be more breathtaking than two.
Eder said:Nope. Actually, I'd say there's a pretty big chance of dropping the FMV cutscenes altogether at this point. I'm no good at animating stuff (and I *definitely* don't have time to learn it ) and I haven't found anyone who's willing to help and who doesn't have n problems using the models in the format I have them - I don't have time to go around adding bumpmaps and setting material properties and making sure everything is 3dsmax-friendly and etc. either.
Edit: and here are the variations of that room:

Hmm, can you do decent looking planets, explosions, exploding planets, and some basic animation for human figures (walking, looking, pointing, sitting, standing up)?Maj.Striker said:Eder, I'm interested somewhat in animations. Whether or not I'm any good is a subject of relative debate.
Hey, just because the carrier is supposed to be a deathtrap doesn't mean people can't get emotionally attached to it.Iceblade said:very shiny, they must clean and hot wax those bays every 2 days for that sharp of a reflection
