Topic: Long time coming (yes, I'm not dead).. Earthship ARK from "The Starlost" (Read 4250 times)

Sorry for the very extended delay, but RL has been a serious pain for quite a while and it took me a bit to get this finished.

Tested in my usual fashion, in the SFC1 Demo. And in SFC1, 2, and 3 versions (but I realized after that I didn't include the SFC3 damage textures). :p

Even now the wife is bugging me to go to bed so am trying to get this posted, let me know if the file doesn't attach and I'll put it up on 4shared to download. So HAPPY to finally get something out again!

Normally, I'd have posted that in my release and WIP thread.. but I thought the "I'm not dead" part needed to be said.

BTW, one of the delays in getting this out (besides real life interfering) was I had to open all the domes up and remove the flat textured "field" inside the domes as it was causing flickering ingame when it was trying to show those hidden polies. Every dome had to be done, which was a lot of work. But all done now.

Well, it looks fantastic! Can't wait to try it out in game.
Thanks for keeping up the great work, I totally get you on the RL interference!

Let me know how it looks, screenies are always appreciated.

I may do a followup release to release the damage textures for the SFC3 version, as well as meshes that may be bigger. Each of those domes are supposed to be 5 miles (8km) wide to be on scale, and to scale it I took a Galaxy Class ship, blew it up 2.54 times, and then 200 times to get a mesh to measure it against. But there was no guarantee that the mesh I chose was scaled appropriately in the first place, so that Ark I released may and should have been right for scale.. but probably isn't.

why does 4shared require that I become a member?

also, why does 4shared want my email address, location, and language preference when I attempt to sign in with goggle plus???

My antivirus won't allow me to connect to 4shared

No problem.. I'll put it elsewhere. Been a while since I used it myself, but I think I have Onedrive still..

And in case anyone missed it, here's the link to Kreeargh's "SS Madame De Pompadour" as well, that was a personal request I'd asked him to do for me, and I'm sharing the result with you.
