Animated Ships
Posted: Fri Aug 06, 2010 5:22 pm
As a few of you already know, I've been playing around of late with some new ideas. One of them is what can be done with more animated ships (without the aid of shaders in my case).
First example of that was my Stellar Serpents OXP, but now I've got another little demo, in this case one that adds some butterflies to the game. Not quite in keeping I know, but they look nice with their flapping wings.
So I thought I'd offer the demo OXP as a showcase of what can be done, and perhaps as encouragement to anyone else who might feel like playing around with the idea. Examples could be X-Wing style attack foils, ships which react to things like high temperature or low energy by changing shape or indeed all sorts of other stuff.
Anyway enough waffle, for those who would like it, the butterflies OXP is here.
Note this is a slightly tidied-up version of the one I posted into the wasps thread yesterday, as the model there had a couple of rough edges I wasn't so happy with so I've re-mapped it. Plus I thought it should have its own thread rather than tagging along in KW's.
