Starcat Posted May 19, 2003 Author Share Posted May 19, 2003 Hi ! Yes, putting banners like "Goatstore" or "Songbird" onto buildings in the game could be a funny idea. However before anything like that happens, they or others that are interested need to agree and I also have to discuss that with the rest of the Star Alliance team. to Dragonforce: I don't know where you could help in the star alliance project. Even for an experienced jag coder who has already done several projects it would probably take months to fully otherstand the code and to be able to actually improve it or help in the project, so I don't think you as a newcomer to the Jag could help me.

Starcat Posted May 19, 2003 Author Share Posted May 19, 2003 Hi ! Oh, well that's fine then. I guess I misunderstood you. I thought you wanted to help with programming And that is of course not possible, because you don't know enough about jaguar programming yet to help me. Regards, Lars.

It looks like >a depth-of-field effect. I think it's a combination of soft-drawing- and vitesse-effects. The objekt in the very front could be the original one. The objekts behind could be textures - which carry these effects in different strength - on simple upstanding square-shaped polygons. The color-arrangement in this fixed-image is very cool. Yes, I like it very much To Lars: the music will be finished very soon To check out the progress on the music of star-alliance visit: http://www.sulu-express.com and enter the news section Greetinx Micky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The objekts behind could be textures - which carry these effects in different strength - on simple upstanding square-shaped polygons. That seems like a workable method for accomplishing the effect. With so many transparent objects, I always am concerned there might be some slowdown. If it works though it will be an original looking idea. Good luck with it!

Matthias Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Hello! I think it's a combination of soft-drawing- and vitesse-effects. The objekt in the very front could be the original one. The objekts behind could be textures - which carry these effects in different strength - on simple upstanding square-shaped polygons. That seems like a workable method for accomplishing the effect. With so many transparent objects, I always am concerned there might be some slowdown. If it works though it will be an original looking idea. Good luck with it! Hmm, are you both talking about "theoretical possibilities"? I have understood the "Star Alliance Concept Art" like this: The big ship (which looks outstanding from the fleet: no antialiasing) is a Jaguar-sprite which is set in front of a pre-rendered background-object (showing the fleet of ships).

Matthias I didn't see anywhere where this detailed description was given for the art. It just says "concept art", so I assumed this was the idea that was planned for the way the game ould look. I didn't see anything about what sprites were what and what was the background. I naturally assumed that the ships and lasers were supposed to be sprites and everything else was background.

I naturally assumed that the ships and lasers were supposed to be sprites and everything else was background. I always took concept art to mean art trying to display a concept not what the final product would look like. EG for a film you may have several concept art pictures of the heros space suit, in the finished film it the suit may take aspects from the various different ideas presented in the concept art.
