I'm also judging by my 1600 x 1200 screensize, I guess I should have made the image the size of the whole game screen.

yea, I think normally they would, but I'm planning to have say . . 6 enemy ships on screen max, it's going to be a bit more tactical than your average space shooter.

here is a ballpark guess of what scale I think these things will be on your screen

this one is nicknamed pantera

yea, I would spend more time adding little details, but I think they are only going to be around 128 - 256 pixels large on the screen.

Right now, since I dont think you will ever have a chance to see these things from the side or bottom, I just planar map them from the top, and use the texporter pluing for max (google if you want it) and do it up in photoshop.

I call this one the guppy

here is the players ship again with a slight skin tweak

yea, with the help of my brother, who is a programmer.

I'm working on a little top downish space shooter game with my brother, and this is the first littol ship I made. You wont really see it at a sideways angle (thus the bad texturing in some places) but I wanted to prove it was 3d since you cant really tell from a top down render.

Quote from Fletch

remember back a few years ago when everyone had jobs, the economy was good, and our educational system wasn't going down the crapper?and then the whole country got all worried because the president like his cigars with a special flava to them?

what a great reason to put king george and the bumblefuck patrol in charge of our country. glad to see our deficit sky rocketing, jobs markets decimated, dead soldiers piled up, and fox news being treated as a credible news source.

/me stands and applauds

maybe the US can try and pressure the UN to take some action about it, besides just passing resolutions.

we have jiggy breast tech yes, that's a tweak of the physics engine though, not the cloth system.

well, hl2 wont have cloth. But our game will have lots of flowing capes and swooshing hair and that sort of clothy goodness.

we have implemented a number of things independantly of valve, including a more versatile particle system, more versatile lighting code, as well as cloth and enhanced physics on character models.

/me adds to way too large font collection

could you put hitting a penguin with a bat somewhere in there? I think you would be golden then.
