Capital ship lasers

Jonathan, try to use a better glow. The glow looks too big for the new effects. :)


Edit: Perhaps more like this?

Yeah, I quickly tossed those together to see how it looked. Your glow is closer to the right size but it’s little too short.
 
Oh, looks a lot better already. I'll work on a better glow later.

I'm off to study now. ;)
 
Ok here it is.


I'm not quite happy with it. I'll redo it later.

I'm sure this will be included in the next MV effect or advanced effects pack. :) Good work. :yes:

Thanks, although I really didn’t do much of anything. :nervous:

That second glow worked great. I will put a shot of it up when I am able to get a good screen capture.
 
Never underestimate table editing and effect compsing. I'm very bad at the table part for instance.

Hey and even if it's not the hardest job, the result looks good.
Lt. Cannonfodder created a very simple skybox(sphere) with some very basic stars.
Nothing much special about it one may think, but there is: He had the idea to do it.

I think good ideas are very important.

True, I always found it ironic that in one of the missions we hear a Vasuden gripe about Terran weapons yet, save for their beam cannons, what do the Vasudens use? Terran weapons!

Anyway, here is shot of the glow on the Vasuden Turret. It also looks great on the Vasuden Huge Turret. :biggrin1:
 
Almost, right now they have the exact same values as the Terran Turret. I plan tweaking them a bit to better fit in with the Vasudens. And I might go back and redo the Terran Huge Turret. :nervous:
 
Terran Huge Turret 2.0!

Here is the updated Terran Huge Turret. All I got left to do is some minor tweaking with the table entries. :biggrin1:
 
Finished cleaning up the tables and balancing out the Vasuden turrets with their Terran counterparts. The Vasuden Turrets don’t do as much damage as the Terran ones but they fire a bit quicker and have a slightly longer range to them.
 
As I am sure you have all noticed the particle effect on the Shiven turret laser is horribly pixilated. After playing with the table entries for a bit a shrunk them down so it isn’t as bad. Here are the table entries. I want you guys to try them out and tell me what you think. Should I go with these, drop the particles all together, or start looking for a different effect.
