Ship icons - Bjorn - 01-11-2008

Ah i get the idea, can you make me list of weapon types in fl? I can draw them in free hand then put in icon (i am professional designer). Also why modelers don`t make more weapon models, they are not that hard to make.

Nice work indeed, keep it up.

I can suppose that we do not make weapon models because as it stands there is not really much need, nor has there been much request of them. Though I do agree that they horrendously easy to create :)

weapon icons - i d say we need:

- chaingun type ( like a minigun )
- laser type ( something with a long barrel and some battery stuff )
- plasma type ( maybe a short, but thick barrel with a boiler like tank )
- maybe a special icon for each codename - just cause they are so special

if needed - i can screenshot them from the game starwolves, cause they have many weapon icons that are quite well done anyway - but not sure if thats allowed.

' Wrote:For capship and transport screenshots it is the best to place the ship in front of a gas planet. Will make it easier to edit the pic and of cours the camera angle should be as shown in Bjorns examples.

Btw, Doom has mentioned he want to do that, but don't know about his progressions.

If he wants to make them, by all means it saves me a lot of work...:)

and my ships have custom icons...:P

However i would advise that for making icons u use print screen from HardCMP. There u can place ship in isometric view very easy and since there is single colored background it is easy (using masks in photoshop) to extrude ship...slap it down with gradient background, save as TGA and apply with UTF editor to pre made surface with the size of the icon.

Will do. Also il make nomad weapon icons, i got few nice dies of how they would look like. Shooting those icons is breaking of copywright, and hence illegal without premission from artist who made them.

dear. when i first saw Scor's sig, I thought, ah he must have modeled a pretty nice custom Titan - i used to see him do custom in FW
But whoever did the praetoryan o0
that thing is beautiful, I just notice now
~feels like getting one

Praetorian was made by me. Just take a look in the readme. I will overwork it a bit. It has some issues i'm not pleased with.

The HardCMP has one issue. It does distort the proportions. Ok, a minor issue for the small size of a ship icon.

Weapon icon? For Nomad weapons only, because every ones family (including dog, cat, bird, cockroaches) is using them. Debbies, Salamancas, Krakens we have icons for, haven't we?

PS, whats the model in your Sig, Bjorn? It isn't from Discovery. Nevertheless it looks interesting.

Ship icons - I_m_rdy - 01-12-2008

@AoM: It looks like the Stinger for me:P

And yeah, these are pretty good icons, Bjorn! But I think we can get some renders through other modelling programs, though... I'll check that if I feel like it.

1)Im working on weapon types icons Jinx posted, and addtion to that i got idea to make nomad weapon icon.

2)Some new ships do have new icons, BUT, they do not fall in with rest because i saw some that have different background, and another ones that have ship in a bit wrong angle, also some have too bright textures. Reason for this is using things other than freelancer for this. Really you its easy to cut out ship from 1024X768 screenshot.

3) AoM, thats disco stinger in my sig

4)Some new icons
