Screenshot Thread Of v2.4 Artwork In Action

[Crystan]

Wait a minute! We got new Dropship textures? I hope someone will reskin the default drop ship model too because the cockpit haves a ugly blur effect. Anyway i really like the indoor screen with the water dispenser - looks almost prerendered. (Posting this stuff right now on IndieDB - people there loved the new alien base screens)

Oh, look, that computer inf the first batch seems familiar.

Actually, regarding that, shouldn't we change that model? It does look great and would at last bring the futuristic aspect clearly, but that's either a direct rip or carbon copy of the Deus Ex desktop computers. We can't use models from other games, can we?


Oh, and welcome to the forums Nutter!

Well, on one hand, it could spell trouble, but I guess you could use the basic design to design your own computer with a similar style.


Oh, and thanks for the welcome.

I do not exactly know what you are talking about here, but that model was made by Willem Sitters and it is no rip or copy of anything.

Maybe Deus Ex copied Willem's style ?

Unlikely, unless Willem made it 10 years ago. Deus Ex was published in 2000. I'll attach a screenshot shortly.

Edit: It is the exact same model and texture. This is especially noticeable from the windows on the screen: they are in the same places. The only difference is the bloom.

[MCR]

Oh, you seem to be right.
Somehow this model made it into the ufo:ai data_source.
Ofc. this should and will be removed then.

[MCR]

The computer model has been removed from master.
Thanks for the notification. It seems the model made its way mistakenly into our data_source/sitters subdirectory.

I can create the uv map if someone wants to volunteer to make a reskin.
We just should take care to not change the color-scheme, or we would have to reskin the geoscape and crashed models also...
But to get more or less the same skin in higher resolution would really be nice....

This is not the first time that Sitters has done that though, is it.  I remember he vigorously denied plagiarising anything the last time there were similarities, but this is now more than coincidence.  Sitters needs to come clean on how he comes across his models.

The muzzle effect looks nice, assuming it's just a couple of frames.
But if those glowing line-things are bullet effects, why give them that blaster bolt effect and not continuous tracer lines?

[Crystan]

They look better if theyre in motion. You wont notice that they look like laser beams because the ptl is just to fast. I would love to add some additional effects but the ptl engine isn that "mighty" yet.

Thats easy to explain, 8 year ago, I learned modelling and UV mapping by copying deus ex models.
when I came first to UFO alien invasion I zipped all the models I have, and send it over.
Big chance that there where original models in that directory from deus ex, just remove them.
