Supreme Cmdr Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 Not quite cooked yet, but its steaming...I have updated the shots and posted a blurb on GNN. www.3000ad.com/shots/bcmshots10.shtml The 24 TGA files from which those JPEGs were converted, are available below. Should be 30, but I think I accidentally deleted the first six. Oh well.BCM TGA files[ 04-25-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxamillian Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 A watched pot never boils, but it sure is agony watching. Just bogatious, these dangeling carrots are almost in reach. The shots are great. All you guys have done it. The long wait since 1996 will be worth it. Thanks SC,,, 'MAX' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 Those shots are PARTICULARLY sweet.AND I CAN'T PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!!!! *sob*This is slowly killing me.Q: The final shot has a different contrail. Is this because it's a different fighter, os is that the afterburner contrail? (I wonder because it looks a whole lot chunkier...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 I think that last one is the particle contrails. Very nice, SC.My thoughd on the 301 pic. Looks like someone slammed into the ground and the engines are still running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted April 25, 2001 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 quote:I think that last one is the particle contrails.Yep. The other shots use the less expensive bitmap type. Then I went into Config, switched to particles type and took another shot. quote:My thoughd on the 301 pic. Looks like someone slammed into the ground and the engines are still running.Nope. Thats a bug in the contrails renderer. It didn't clear up when I left the planet and returned to space. Should be fixed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmett.hendrick Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 Those shots are sweet. I especially like the TACOPS shot. BCM is going to rock big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquin Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 Derek,Visual effects just keep getting better as you have predicted. You have not only put together a great game but from the looks of it a great team. Those years of hard knocks certainly appear to be paying off.

Hector Socas Navarro Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 Oh, my God This is sooo awesome !!! I never expected these contrails to look so cool, even the bitmap-based ones! They even seem to actually come out from the exhausts.Can the contrail length be controlled so that, e.g., they grow longer when the ship is accelerating?This is so cool!! I'm also drooling over that TacOps screenshot where you're observing the planet with the new terrain.Kicks ass, dude!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREG MILLER Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 Whoa, indeed. Great Work SC, those shots are just about photo quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 To tell you the truth I had stopped being amazed at what this game can do a long time ago (everything about the game is amazing), but when I saw the new shots, my eyes doubled in size and I said holy sh*# that looks good. And I was amazed all over again. Like falling in love for the very first time. Ohhhh I feel so tingly inside now. Keep it up, SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
