New bio simple or Area homeworld images

Post by DarkVixen »

Hi, I'm kinda new here, I'm a digital artist (when I'm not doing my other jobs) and I drew up some new images for the bio simple or Area homeworld during my spare time this month.

I apologize if they are not sized correctly, I'm not sure how they should be shaped (size and aspect). These are sized 1920x1080 (HD). Below are the labeled images, the links go to the hi-res non-labeled images.

I attached low-res ones with labels so you can see where the labels and starships go, I don't have enough knowledge about the code to re-write the code for the planet.

Let me know what you think, or if there are any changes you want to see.

PS: I still need to work on the "explore planet" image.

With such cool landscapes to watch, people may end up spending less time in outer space :)

Here are two more "extras" showing the Bio Simple planet surface I promised. The links go to the hi-res non-labeled images.

I'm hoping someone can or knows how to add the images and re-do the Bio Simple planet links?


I'm not sure if this is better suited for Bio Simple of the Area homeworld planet, I based this more on the Area homeworld from information from VsWiki page (http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/wiki/ ... ra#Habitat) about the Aera:

I gave the atmosphere a slight purple tint to relfect the oxygen-nitrogen-neon atmosphere.

I depicted the land according to this mentioned on VsWiki:

"misbegotten hell of a jungle world" "The mainland was nearly entirely covered with jungles and marshgroves, with only small belts of more sparsely overgrown land on the northern and southern reaches of the continent. "

Using bits and pieces of photos of Death Valley, CA and The Sahara Desert of the Africa continent since those lands used to be jungle and marshgroves.

Sometimes in game , it's difficult to read the stuff .

Code: Select all

I will read the wiki link you provided , and wait a bit for the opinions of the other forum's members( and specialists) . While this time i will check the technic to build a planet .

Edit : As you are an artist and i a coder , we could try to create new worlds ?
eh eh

Code: Select all

 if (!track.HasWeapons())

You mean the random text I put on the consoles? they are not really ment to be "read", just fuzzy text that you can not read so that it looks like it is displaying something. I can remove them entirely if you want.

We can't exactly put specific stuff on the console displays because when you click on them you are suppose to be brought to the actual; upgrade starship, buy starship, trade cargo, etc...

And sure, I can try and create graphics when I have time, I'm not a full time digital artist though, alien landscape terrains is something I have been working on for quite some time. Just let me know if any requests.

I am putting the University planet surface images on my next TODO list, the current one kind of looks like a funny cross between Futurama and Zulu Patrol.

While those images are not yet integrated into the game, they are valuable and are for now lying in the masters repo, along other base images, waiting to be integrated.

Interesting

These look great

Just a nitpicking are there any "low res versions" or how do the look converted to lower resolutions ( for us poor folk)?
