Texture upgrade
2008-02-19, 3:16 PM #1
OK, for some of you it's probably known that I've been planning and working on updating some of the older XWA-releases, e.g. the Dragonfly or the Viper, so they come as fully featured OPTs with cockpit and exterior model.

In this course I took a few hours time doing some work on the old Victory Mk2 Fighter. Released in 2004 with some minor updates lateron, I figured this ship doesn't match my quality standards anymore. So I've decided to upgrade it. It will mainly be a texture upgrade, but I think that'll already do a proper job in improving the look of it.

Here's a little preview of, so far, two of the four available Flightgroup colors with the older versions on the left. I'm not completely happy with the other two yet, but I'm convinced I'll dig up something nice ;).

Very cool, the new ones give them a much more realistic feel, it's nice to see them looking less cartoonish. You're really amazing at what you do, and I envy your ability to create such awesome designs for all of these ships.

The glow around the ships won't let me appreciate the textures. :/

Looks cool. I wish XWA would work on my computer.

@Echoman, I have placed the glow effect behind the ships, so the textures aren't distorted by it.

I think he means the glows just distracting.

But don't get me wrong, the texturing is nice.
