All sorted then, or?

Good idea to read through the diagnosing problems FAQ anyway. It's also not a bad idea to have a look at the logs. They are quite useful sometimes, and will quickly give some understanding of how to do a little bit of trouble shooting yourself.

Yes, I am sure its all sorted now guys so thanks for your help. I also learned how to find the latest log entry and how to deal with it. Excellent!

Testing normalmaps & emissionmaps on [wiki]Deepspace_Ships[/wiki] (click on the piccie to see it bigger, then on the bigger pic to see it full size):

Working pretty well, methinks.

Very nice!!

Nice work, Zieman .-)

A pic of the new  BGS launch/docking effect - those doors at the end of the slot open sweetly:

That looks absolutely fantastic. Although, aren't the two docking bay numbers that face outwards the wrong way round? They appear to be a mirror image of 01.

Yes, it's mirrored - the shader uses abs(atan(y,x)). This way artists don't have to care that much for seamless textures.

The texture in BGS uses a baked in bumpmap and lighting to get a little bit depth, but the effect itself is just a plain projection onto a square stretched to fullscreen. It is based on Adrian Boeings explanation Tunnel effect explained in WebGL with some small modifications.

woah that docking tunnel effect is stunning! fantastic work! The hyperspace effect blows my mind too, I love how you can see your destination system at the end of the tunnel, looks especially awesome when you can see the planet there too!

Here is a shot of a space bar with a higher resolution rock texture, normal map & custom shader taken from Griff's all-in-1 pack. Featured in the upcoming RandomHits update.

Nice!

Very good! Looks fab
