Oh they more than hold their own. They've got a few tricks up their sleeves

Arrrrgghh! This is ugly.

It seems you are using an OXP that overrides the standard Oolite ships. (Neolite?) Now the non-standard Thargoid texture and the bits of damaged Thargoid texture get mixed up.

DISCLAIMER: Cataclysm was not designed to work with ship replacements. The management wishes to deny responsibility for popping out eyeballs or exploding brains due to texture mess-ups caused by your replacing the standard ship textures.

That's a shame since both Simon B's and Griff's Thargies are stunners...

Then you would have to ask them to include a replacement for cataclysm_disabled_warship.png in their respective texture libraries.

something I'm working on...

Simple Normal Mapping and Diffuse mapping combined with tiling, no other effects apart from the flasher that I am using to determine some odd thing with flashers and rotation bug thingi...

The mid section is rotating.. kind a hard to show

I Call it a Polaris Class Destroyer... Yes it is by all means heavenly inspired by the Omega Destroyer from Babylon 5..

Wow. Just wow

Looks very cool, Frame

The rotating middle section also reminds me of the Leonov, but I guess basic common design principles will lead to similar solutions anyway.

A drop of water in the wine: The tiling does look a little repetitive, though.

Quote For Emphasis. The design and the screenshot looks very impressive overall, but the tiling is too obvioius.

wow Frame that looks great! I've avoided doing any detailed hull plating in my textures, i just can't get it looking good at all, it just looks like bricks or some sort of patchwork quilt, Zieman's Titan cruiser a few posts up does it really well too, you guys are going to have to write up some tutorials!

I like it a lot - and while the tiling is a little evident on the still image that we've had time to investigate and study - I can well imagine as it sweeps majestically past in game - no such thoughts about repetiveness will exist...

Bravo.

And I concur with Griff.

it does look fab, using texture tiling to get a high-res normal map onto a model without having to use something like a 2048x2048 texture is an excellent invention, i'm really looking forward to seeing how this turns out in the final release of the oxp

hello I need to locate the ultra ultra simple explainations of the normal maps and how to slap them on a ship. I'm having a certain ammount of difficulty pulling the code apart (from ships with it) without everything breaking.
