those cities are fscking awesome!
Not meaning to be too critical or anything tho, especially since I couldn't do anything nearly that good, but it just doesn't look right having huge cities with that many roads, and no cars... maybe you could stick some vehicles on the roads and it would look just so much better...

oh man thats awesome! those screens look nothing like VS, or any other game i've seen so far. If we can get that kind of level of detail in game it would be stunningly beutifull. At the least we need to get those skyboxes in RIGHT NOW!
Its very hard to beleive that done without bumpmaps or anything VS doesent support, ver, very smooth work.
The only down side I can think of is that mixing this stuff with Howie D's stuff and some of the still horribly un-updated pugley looking models (granted, they are still very impressive for being done in notepad by a programmer )
I just hope everything mingles right. Maybe a concept screen with some of howies and strange's stuff mixed in would give us a good indication.
Strangelet, you should set up a paypal donation system via source forge. I'm sure many of us would like to chip in, if only to keep the models flowing

strangelet... these are great views of the landing pad... and I will have the engine select the appropriate one depending on the time of day (sunset, day, night)
is there a chance you will have other scenes from the city that could be metropolis sort of scenes where you go shopping for weapons, ship dealers, trading place, (conference room in high building), etc? I'm almost hesitant to add these into game until I can have a full atmosphere
that being places to do all the in-game activities...we can probably recycle the bar from the industrial bar

k, right...
1 - thanks for your appreciation - i'll look into a paypal thingy, sounds interesting
2 - vehicles... dammit i made a whole slew of ground vehicles and spent hours randomising them, then my mac hung up and i think theyre lost now i have the basic tex and stuff i used to make em so its only a case of bringing myself to do it all again... i'm also figgering out the best way of animating them...
3 - city locations... this cityscape is largely generated. i did little or no work on individual buildings, just used a few Xpresso scripts and played with emmiter factors until it looked right. i fully intend to do locations but they are specific, detailed and highly time consuming so they'll take quite a while to produce. wait with worms on your tounges. (baited breath...)
4 - new logo for VS - sure why not. ill get right on it.
all 2d art aside, i'm still kinda hedging my bets against VS locations going full 3d, so alot of the stuff you see renderd here can be recycled for realtime 3d.
BAH my vehicles were sweet. they were designed for use in realtime 3d as well. are we going to have more space traffic? large bases need clusters of lil utility vehicles, tugs, lesiure craft etc. i fully intend to rebuld them vehicles - 9 small (10foot to 18 foot) craft and a 30 foot truck/trailer combo with modular trailers that could either be private shuttles/light transports or miscellaneous ground vehicles...

aye I understand
having a few street level shots or shots from inside a building (with a view onto the same scene out a window) would be great
but patience is a virtue I know

Wow.
A big thumbs up, for you AND for all the other guys who made the new stuff already in 0.4.3.
I've started over in 0.4.3 this weekend, and the new artwork I've seen in the first few systems is definitely "commercial quality". So if Hellcatv wrote "we're on the way", he is IMHO being modest...

You have no idea how happy I am that someone grabbed the zips!
The website that they are hosted on is the same ISP as mine, so this chap is still paying his bills to Pipex - so he must still be around.
Any chance someone in development can tap him for more goodies?
His skills are SO impressive!

That which can be imagined can be achieved.

This is where I see VegaStrike going this year. With the landing pad images, actually with anytime we enter an atmosphere, why don't we actually land on a 3d object? Second, with those presented here, it would be awesome to have some sort of animated background that matches the camera angle with the ship landing on the pad. I think it would bring the believability rating up a little.
