The Que Dan on a training mission with the Enterprise

Anyone remember the screenshot key? I had to backpedal out of the program and use PrintScreen with paint.

Nice work FoaS! I can't wait for the Akula and Akyazi as well as the Klingon and Romulan adversaries.

BTW: I love the Loknar's added weapons and overall upgrade.

I picked up Sins of A Solar Empire today at Wal-mart for $20.00 and was wondering if what you are looking to do with could be done using that game engine?

Perhaps this could give you an idea how to do a TOS/TMP/TNT mod.

I've been playing around with the ships in 3DS Max, making renders. I'll post some renders soon if that's alright with you FoaS.

Looking Good :-). Marstone is right, it is indeed F12

I have looked into Sins of a Solar Empire. I've read about the engine (i didn't bother with the demo). If I am not mistaking it's lacking. Currently there is a rock-paper-scissors system for combat. Missiles gets beat by point defense, beams by shields, and armor(?) beats about pulse weapons. It would make dynamics that exist in SFB impossible (or so limited that it would be pointless; imagine a Lyran without an ESG).

No, in order to satisfy me (yes, I'm a snob) we need a new engine.

Yup. I just enjoy releasing the more understated and underappreciated ships more. I'll get around to the canon and more mainstream fanon ships eventually.

By all means, have a ball. I'd appreciate a blurb just in case the image ends up somewhere else, but its not a requirement.

Here are some renders I made of the Churchill and the Loknar. It's been a while since I did any serious rendering, so I'm rusty. Plus I was never any good to begin with, and there are no special effects.

Those look NICE!

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #70 on:** May 24, 2009, 11:30:16 am »

Indeed - those look great!

What are your spec settings like?

I leave them on default, but when I make the spec maps in CS4, I don't desaturate, just go straight for equalize, then I play around with the various filters of the Fade Equalize options, and then I find one I think looks good.

I do rendering in MAX 5 using a lighting rig that TUS gave me. Yes TUS, I know, it's old and outdated, but I applied the Light Tracer and Ray Traced Shadows to the rig. :-D

Anyway, I just attack the spec maps, reduce the lighting levels down, and move the light around and find something I like.

maybe it was the CGI chruchill, but I thought I remember there being megaphasers on either side of the deflector? I thought there were aft facing ones too, somewhere..again that may have been the CGI version..
