Flaming Wreckage! - Possible with scripting?

@Frame - great minds think alike eh!

<blog post>
After a load of false starts, i've started making a few bits of space junk, these are probably going to be the bigger pieces that float around for scooping rather than the smaller bits that fly off and vanish after a short while - i'm keeping the textures fairly 'generic metal' so they can be shared with a lot of different pieces, i'm putting the glow & clip maps into various channels trying to cut down the amount of images needed. I don't know if anyone has already seen Ahrumans glowing alloys shader in action before - but the glowing bits you see here gradually fade over time - it looks really great! and Thargoid has whipped up a great oxp ready for me to dump the models & textures into!

That's fantastic!!!!

Are the edges really that rough/jagged or is that just a clever texturing technique?

yeah, they are all crinkly like that, you can use a texture map to nibble away at the polygon using the 'discard' command in the shader.

That Excellent with a capital E!
Now what's to do with the fridge door...?
Maybe it could be an airlock door

Perhaps even an actual fridge door. You'd think a ship's galley would have some place to keep cold rations....like a fridge.

ohh, shiny shiny (and a bit rusty and burnt) but looks great.

The exploding OXP is quite theraputically addictive I must admit, and that's even before all of the lovely graphical bits have been added in

I vote for a set of fridge magnets and a shopping list attached to it......

A toilet seat?
Can't imagine that varying too much between species

"Capn H" don't use seats, no self respecting feline would lower themselves to do that.

Thats not Space dust? thats kitty litter....

On a serious note. WOW Griff excels himself again...
Where can we d/l this new oxp from?

That's a fair point but...

Oh dear, seeing the kiddie drawing on it as it floats through space might be a bit hard for me....
