<div class="IPBDescription">marine start pics</div>
Hi everyone , heres some pics of my modified (and hopefully improved) MS. In my quest for saving clipnodes , i had to shrink it quite a bit , but it turned out ok i think . Its located at the controls of the ship, the marines have entered trough the emergency elevator leading to the escape pod . The lighting is still a bit of a WIP , but its getting there. I plan to add some destruction detailz , but im waiting to see what i can afford in terms of ressources. comments and opinions welcomed, cheerz all, later <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

after trying to get the CC to fit with the rest, i decided that it would be foreign, brought in by the Marines , wich they hook up to the ships computers. im working on a wire {texture to link it together , i also put the CC on wheels <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Tought it could fit with the idea... heres a WC pic of it close up

Ordos

Nice, I like the very open feel of the start, the large windows really add to it. That CC just looks awesome too, really looks more portable.


Just one suggestion (might just be me) maybe if you had the consoles emmiting a very faint green glow. Nothing overpowering, just enough to give the hint that they're on.

EDIT: Oh nvm, just noticed you said lighting was wip.

tseepra

Man this is the best marine start I have ever seen. Those chairs and comp screens look so cool.

yeah

Looks very nice. Unique style, unusual texture set, reminds me of Eclipse v1, spacious <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

MrMojo

Oh, snap. I love it.


The CC looks pretty good too, although you might want to make the wheels not as visible. It kind of looks like a go-kart now.

Haze

I like the part about the CC being hooked up to wires, but the wheels...arent good at all IMHO. It looks really bad.

Reese

I won't really post any direct comments here, because the forums would only edit out the words that come to mind.

All I have to say if f-ing good job, i'm going to go clean up now.

tommyd

excellent texturing job there. the CC definitely looks out of place seeing it placed there randomly. maybe put it in that little back cove? also, some parts of the ceiling seem low - raise it up for the sake of the onos - the MS tends to get packed with aliens/marines/structures so make sure it's not too cramped.

Angelusz

nice, really good atmosphere.

instant

Very creative, i love the lighting and feel to it. Very nice. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Charge

Looks good

marcos

Wow nice work SpaceApe!
But i feel like the textures are alittle HL DM style. But it's maybe that most ns maps use the ns and ns2 wad. so yeah.

kawak

I already said it but i say it again, i love your map Space Ape, keep it up <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Nice marine start! I like the computers and chairs too. The space background is neat <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

One of your pic is now my desktop background <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

Looking forward to play it!

I feel that Marcos could be right, but only about the flooring. Does not strike me as a NS map.

Space_Ape

Thx for the feedback, good and bad <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> The textures i used are not to everyones taste , and quite a few people have told me that they do not give out a NS feel . I think part of that has to do with the fact that all wall textures in NS are either metal (80%) or concrete , the only set that stands apart from that are the wall_tech series , they look more like plastic\resin type material. I tryed to make the new textures fit that style, so they could be used together. Hopefully in the end , the map will give out the spaceship feeling i was aiming for <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

TommyD ,you were right bout the CC ,looked out of place and randomly dropped . Took your suggestion, looks lots better now , just gonna add a removed panel in the back of the elevator , to simulate the connection of the CC to the sships own system. cheerz <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Haze , i knew my CC would not get everyones vote <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> im not a big fan of the CC model , reminds me of the old Tron arcade cabinet (the nice one were you could sit inside) . But mostly i find it hard to get it to fit with the rest of the architecture surrounding it <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> ive seen a few people pull it off, and it looks wicked!
If only it had some handles or something , now it looks so massive and clunky , you would need a wagon to drag it out on a mission <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> However , i never pictured a marine actually riding it , i was thinking more like a walk along <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> sort of like a bomb removal robot.

Space_Ape

just something i did for fun while bored, it shows the MS from the outside of the ship, its a bit dark, sorry bout that !

Thaldarin

Ooooh silky ... just make sure it doesn't become like an ns_nancy exploit. Looks sweet though, what are the r_speeds of inside and outside like?

blueman

oh this is just sooo sweet. i love it Space Ape.

Tequila

Looks very sumptious. If you can, try and get a few custom .mdls to decorate space, like a few asteroids, the marines' spaceship or maybe a planet or distant sun. I'm considering doing this for my map, and I believe it adds a higher degree of atmosphere and eye candy <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

OneSneakYmousE

Wow, nice front end of the ship.

Not sure about those rollers though under the com chair.

BlackPanther

Looking very nice btw. I actually quite like the wheels on the CC as well.

Very good MS. Reminds me of atomicmass and nancy.
