trying out depth with colour

Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!

trying out depth with colour

Post by arbiterxxxxxxx »

erm, does this show enough depth, or must there be more colour tones involved?

Sorry, I didnt have time to add weapons, I'll get to that

... What you're currently doing is not depthing. Depthing works by noting the colour of a section, and then noting the sections around it, and then either making those sections lighter or darker in relation to their postion on the ship, to give it a more realistic feel

And if we ignore the subject of depthing, that ship is still no good, the section work is a bit sloppy, the actual colours are rather badly implemented, and there is a hole in he middle of the ship, with the core showing

Back to the drawing board, I'm afraid

How could you not have enough time to add weapons, it's not like you promissed us the ship.

A few words of advice:
Remember to set the Alpha of modules to 0, you know where they are anyway. Then all the stuff Imaillusion said. And your depthing is a bit ovr the top I'm afraid, too much contrast between light and dark.
