Description
we found away to improove the texture quality without increasing resolution or file size here are a few examples.
OMG this is looking so good, plz release it soon!
That light coming from the bottom of the main section...just WOW!!!
how did you accomplish this magnificent feet?
I'm led to believe it was a matter of the textures having a third facet that included its own bloom. When this was edited not to conflict with the game's in built bloom it sharpened all the textures up noticeably. It makes the most difference to the federation vessels and stations, as they have a great deal of windows, but other window heavy vessels such as the D'deridex are also clearly improved.
I am very impressed with the changes on the ships, it does indeed seem to have improved them (although the ships were pretty decent to begin with).
I am still a bit unsure about the buildings, but as requested I will keep my criticism to myself until after release. Hope you will make it there, most stuff I see here gives off a good impression.
Please don't keep it to yourself. The team really value everyone's opinion, and if you can offer suggestions as to how we can improve the game we'll gladly take them on board.
There are some things that we simply don't have the time to do (well, max doesn't more so as he's the one with all the skills), such as a total segmental retex but if you do have any suggestions I for one would welcome them.
Any ideas that fit in with the armada feel we're going for will always be looked at.
We appreciate every comment both positive and constructive criticism from the community.
the detailing is second to none!
I can't believe my eyes,awesome!!!
is the station orbiting around the planet, or is the planet orbiting around the station? o_O
