New Screens from "The Bringers of Light" Total Conversion for TA

from GalCiv2 Forums
For now I'll start with a screen of my first attempt at a nebula....they'll get better as time passes.
Right next to it is a trade image being created for one of the races.


As time passes, i'll upload some new screens!

thanks! neither can I! :LOL:

i just decided that my next nebula is going to be a swirl....i'll give a screen when done :)

This mod's going to take a while, but i'm hoping for an alpha version to be ready for mid-August. If we release one, it'll most probably include 3 or 4 races and some other stuff...but i don't think it would include ships :( ...if someone wants to help texture them, just let me know!

He's asking why it looks so barren.

The landmass seems out of place, too.

it's supposed to be kind of barren...but maybe i'll change the landmass a bit...either way, already darkened the red part to make it look less pink...i'll post a new screen when i test it ingame.

Keep going, DSep... i find these planets to be great!

As you may know, i also think Planets are some key features to add into a fairly complete Mod.

Each of the 39 Races in X-Worlds absolutely needed to have at least "good" *distinctive color-wise and general continental shapes* HomeWorlds and system neighbors.
And, now that i -Majored- the Minors (indirectly) i will also give them that much of a Planet individual feel too.

Wait until you get to the RAW files though and trying to apply some Terrain-Schemes to those - i assure you, the work is complex. Well, unless you DO have a trick or two to share since to me, the normal Bump Maps & conventional Grey-Scales variations never seem to deploy as they really should on surfaces.

actually i haven't done anything with the terrain yet. it's not my top priority atm. i'm just trying to get a lot of stuff done in a lot of areas...i don't think most of the planets will be of my creation anyway. I already asked Nasty to work on them (before i created these 2).

incase you were wondering, the 2 screens from the orginal post are absolete. I plan on putting up a few of the more recent race pics soon.
