Recently released in the oolite verse, relop scrub...

Those look better than the miniwindows I experimented with, but I'm wrestling with if it makes sense for that kind of ship to have so many vulnerable windows. Liners and casinoships, sure.

Now that's cruel making them sell out to carry corporate ads on their hide. Cool graffiti look though,

Glassteel, they call it (and they're protected by the shields).

Well this certainly has it's charms...

No after-edit this time per previous instructions

Wonderful!


But what about the Seoids?

looks amazing

Happening in real time in-game:



Experimental code to use an illumination modulation color when an illumination map is in use. The illumination modulation color can be entered either in planetinfo or in a script.

*applauds loudly*

update planet info to note inhabitants love of rave parties

seriously though itlooks great. could the principle be added to ships? was thinking about an organic[ish] thing like deep sea creatures/jellyfish that have shimmering bioluminesense.

No stars or winglets available - will promotion to Rear Admiral do?

Rear Admiral will do

( lava map created from diffuse map, reduce color, an edge detection and a little noise, masking out the oceans )

That's gorgeous!

that's way more OTT fractally that i was thinking. i was thinking more like the deep sea creatures that have lines of rippling lights on them, like the aliens in The Abyss.

These thargoids use a custom shader and some sort of spectrum map, the shader kinda uses the spectrum to create a pulsating moving effect.
A subtler slower variant could be like those aliens/ships

Reverted - the higher rank lacks wings. Whoever set those ranks up (the M&C or Jens) needs a talking to!
