Description
The Galactic Alliance Schyte from Warb_Null with the new texture from Nawrocki. Another awesome model.
beautiful ship
I must say, these redone textures are looking quite nice.
only shame that Nawrocki doesn´t use ambient occlusion... because of those missing shadows you sometimes can´t really tell the shape of the unit - as Enpremi pointed out, it looks like a surrealistic artwork :D (not in this case though)
Can you make it better?
of course not, I´m not a texturer (yet).
I know you´re using EaW shadows on many units - but ambient occlusion are shadows "computed" into the texture file by a texture tool, because most game engines can´t compute these soft shadows (Alamo Engine is one of them).
Yes, FOC game can not use ambient occlusion and by this reason what is the point from your words? it is a mod for EAW/FOC.
the engine cannot compute these soft shadows (it would be too hardware demanding) - therefore you have to create them with an extra tool (xNormal f.e.) and save them into the .dds file.
But the game never will show them, no?
it will, they´re in end effect just dark spots in the texture. you could eventually paint them yourself (as texture artist)m but programs can do this a way better.
here´s an example of AO:

If I´m not wrong, it modifies the bump map but all the textures from Nawrocki uses special bump maps for show similar things. The point is how he has painted them manually.
