New Ship Class - Heavy Transport!


Above you can see the new Heavy Transport class of human ships.
The scene is lit by the distant Yellow star and you can see the Specular highlights of the new FX code working well on the front edge of the cockpit.
The ship still needs a window putting in and separate maps for Specular, Lights, Normal maps too. But I`m sure you can get a good idea of the final ship from the picture above.

Space Dust, You gotta love it!!!



Its one of those situations in a game when you need to compromise between Looking Good and Looking Real!!!
I am sure these routines will change overtime, but for now here is the current Space Dust routine - in shades of Teal. This could be used to add Really Big Nebulae and Gas clouds for the player to fly around in.
