Oolite Bulletins

Nice shader effect A_C!! Any plans for it or just experimenting with code?
Looks awesome, could maybe get triggered when an ECM goes off nearby, make it look like the ship viewport cameras are bugging out

Modo, a pretty decent 3D app has wound down development :( and it's owners 'The Foundry' have made it available to download with a 10 year off-line licence. Has Windows, Apple Mac and Linux versions. I realise it's probably a waste of time learning a discontinued 3D app but it might be worth a peep ...

An amazing page of screenshots guys, but this one especially, looks insanely good! love the way the light is catching the metal. The detailing on the ship and its texture is just next level awesome :

That looks stunning KW, amazing work!

Jeez that sounds tough, i think i remember you guesting on one of Drew's Twitch streams and talking about how much of a nightmare it was dealing with Frontier, It's really great to see you back on the boards here

Amazing photos!
I did have a quick look up at the sky but there was way too much light pollution, living next door to a work yard that's lit up like the superbowl in the evenings

I think the point the laser beam is drawn from drifts a bit too if you rotate the camera in an external view, it's either that or the beam gets drawn after the model has been so it can appear on "top" of geometry it should be "behind" edit: ah what a_c said above with the example...

I love the green gradient on the dome in this example, looks like its foggy and being lit from inside! Hmm... interesting thought. But rather than the grey, what about something like this: https://i.postimg.cc/W4jHQWtx/image.png Improvement? when i saw that, it got me thinking if the Oolite's Materi...

I'll try and document that sidewinder shader effect, i'm a pretty bad coder though so i think they way i'm doing it isn't that great, but it's not much more than mixing in some extra textures into the final colour output from the shader, i think the chipping away paint was achieved with just a regul...

I'm with you on the Baked Potato, hmm.... new bulletin boards...um, maybe we can persuade timer and hiran to open up a new air fryer/baked potato sub forum for us

beautiful work phkb! they look really amazing, you have a brilliant eye for cool paint schemes and gloss/spec texture work

Location: Probably hugging his Air Fryer ? Why would anybody wish to "fry air"? Does it achieve anything? Are you any the better for it? Perplexed. I'm certainly a lot fatter due to all the spur of the moment chips i've been eating since getting it, heartbreaking as it is, I might have to...

RE: the spolier button

Spoiler

I Love it! Thanks for all the upgrades timer

Wow, thank you timer for getting us all repaired and back online!!

Awesome work guys, that looks fantastic!
