Oolite Bulletins

Coming in to land, (Full throttle), on one of Griff's stations.

The level of detail is just incredible!

<Smivs resolves to do something about his (accessories) station docks sometime soon>

Any problems viewing this full-size image of Esaan on Photobucket (one of Povray Planets' finest)?

Looks fine, does that! Very nice. The BB seems to display them, but clicking through to Photobucket seems to be causing the problem.

Not on Photobucket, as the image just links to the orginal file. Can you provide a link to view it IN Photobucket please?

This is the direct link! My actual PB album is private, so no link to that.

That worked for me.

As a quid pro quo, could you answer this query, JH?

As some of you will know I've been messing around with some of the 'materials' attributes (normal maps and things) recently for my current project. I've not used these before but decided it was time to start learning.
This is not connected with that project, but I did wonder what the core ships as they come with the game would look like applying some of these techniques.
Below is the trusty Cobra Mk III using the original texture (with just a couple of touch ups) that comes with the game, with a normal map and emission map.
It's the same, but different.

Worked flawlessly on Win7 in Google Chrome.

No problems for me ... and since their "update", Photobucket has been playing silly buggers with me when I clicked through from a thumbnail (best summed up as "Here's your image ... for a fraction of a second! Ha ha!"). The direct link worked fine as well.

<growls> Their bloody update... why didn't they just leave it as it was, which is how I'm still using it (but for how much longer, I don't know).
I'll definitely use direct links instead of thumbnails in future, that's for sure.

Great screenshots! Nice ship Shipbuilder
And El Viejo: Indeed a gorgeous planet
@ Smivs. It looks better I think with the effects you've applied to the ship.

Makes a difference alright.
