Hey guys - im looking for someone who who can -and is willing to- create and/or modify Outpost pictures. It ranges from adding the "renegades" title to the logo to creating new images for the mission briefings.
Several of the existing pics can be found on the beta site soon.
-
I would like to help with the graphics. I have 3D Max Studio. I could do alot.
-
More people on board the better.
Can you not come on IRC when you are online Drakmar ? Im sure if you did u would bump into Eddy.
-
The two that i would recomend the most (As i have seen their work and no one elses) is it2000us and Zircon, both are great at graphics.
-
... so where are they .. ?
-
to be honost, i have no idea, haven't seen either in quite a while.
-
Im here, all thou i dont think ill be of much help considering that i stoped doing graphics for a couple months. Im more into the DJ bussines now, i create music like trance and hardstyle.
But i can still try to whip up a logo or something. Let me know what you need and ill let you know if i can do it.
--- Peaze
-
if u could come up with one it would be good
we want a selection so people can vote on the best.
-
i'll do graphics, id love to modify stuff to suit the need
-
Still here, it's just that University has ways of keeping people busy (very busy) even during the holidays.
-
Thanx for your replies, Zirkon & TRIX --
if you want to participate in the renegades design, you're quite welcome! Check this page for the logo's i got so far. Some of these are originals ripped from the program, others designed by me. I know you can do better, so please DO :rolleyes:

ill help but only with 2d graphics, or the cheap imitations of 3d
not good with shading
id be using photoshop 6.0.1
-
Any help is welcome .. i'm not looking for the video's .. just the images to go with the briefings for now. We could do it in the same style as the original (3D graphics) but, since we're changing a lot already - we could go for a new 'look' of those images also..
First thing i need is a logo. My signature (see below) is an example i've created using PhotoShop 3 .. i think anybody could do better! You will find the original OP2 bitmaps at my beta site (http://beta.eddy-b.com/) (click screenshots & videos). Any samples can be sent to me at renegades@eddy-b.com and as soon as i got a couple entries, i will put ut a poll on this forum to people can actually choose between them.
-
Im too lazy to read all them posts so ill just ask rite here. What kind of pix do you need? I have a few years of graphics design in my brain so i might be able to help.
Give me every little detail otherwise i wont understand you.

I'll do my best: <_<
I still need 12 pics (3d-stills, or even 2d) to go with the briefings of the Plymouth Campaign (see previous reply, above yours).
Size: 320x240
Format: 24bit BMP[ol type=\'I\'][li]Mission 1: This is a simple basemission to have the player gather ore/food. So an image of a either a cargo-truck and/or a mine on a landscape with little or no vegetation (lightgrey rock) would be nice.[/li][li]Mission 2: This is the same setting and map as mission 1, but the objective is to escape with the units/cargo. I'd suggest a picture of a plymouth ConVec being attacked by some Eden Laser-lynx.[/li][li]Mission 3: Also a base-mission, where the player has to do a significant amount of research. It should be a picture of a Plymouth Basic Lab (NOT a standard lab). I could use the pic from the original game displaying a research-lab, but it could also be a new picture.[/li][li]Mission 4: Your basic "steal and get out" type mission. As i'm still working on mission 3, i'm not yet 100% sure what kind of picture this needs to be...[/li][/ol]Hope this helps out. Let me know if it doesn't!
[EDIT] I've added all the original bitmaps to my site: http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps (http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps)
Those 320x240 BMPs are in directory OP2SHRES; Bitmap_44.bmp ~ Bitmap_67.bmp
-
you can probobly use most of the game's default images for this, plenty would fit. However, using new ones would make it fit probobly better. Maybe stuff like listed below?
For Example:
Mission 1: http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_62.bmp (http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_62.bmp)
Mission 2: http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_56.bmp (http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_56.bmp)
Mission 3: http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_57.bmp (http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_57.bmp)
.............. http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_58.bmp (http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_58.bmp)
Mission 4: http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_61.bmp (http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_61.bmp)
Anyway, thats stuff I was thinking would go great
-
yo eddy-b, is ur web site down? cuz im getting errors to the link u gave me.
-
I think I could cook something up for you. But it would be 2D. I may as well give it a shot.
-
even if you could only do one image for a mission it would be appreciated.
-
Well I cant do art much exvept some good Paint skills BUT I am gonna try learning C++ sometime to help perhaps...
^_^
-
Dude by the time u learn good enough C++ the game will be already finished, so stop fantasising and stick to what you know now.
-
So far, i've gotten a lot of replies from people that all want to have a go at it, but as yet, i've had not a single image - or even a TRY of an image - back..
So, im asking again (since i can't draw that well) ... anyone who's really willing to draw up the pictures (320x240), let me know, and start drawing!
-
Draw? You mean pencil drawings? I can do that better than photoshop...
Sadly I don't think that is what you were looking for.
Oh yeah also I've tried to make a picture but it was turning out like ... crap ...
-
The first renegades briefing image is done! Thanx to Shuffles (thumbsup)
I hope you can keep up with me, coz im going REAL fast with the mission coding (im like going Mach3 = about 1 mission every 2 months or so :lol: )
-
Oh, so you like it? Was that what you were looking for?
-
YES! You have the stoyline for mission 2 ?
-
No, But I have the guide that tells me what I need sorta in this thread.
-
I sure like the image, good work.
-
You can go with the info i gave about the first 3 missions. I've included your first picture into the package. I will soon release the new beta wich includes a few other updates next to your image :)
-
Mission 2 pic sent to you Eddy.
-
It looks like i've found a Renegades graphics designer.
The images are not 100% "user-drawn", but they do look great. As i mentioned before - it doesn't matter much to me HOW they look, as long i have 12 mission pics that are alike.
So far, so good: missions 1 & 2 pics are done
-
I been working on missions 3 and 4 for the past couple months. At the moment mis3 is on hold, and i've started working on mis4 this month, but i'll pick up on mis3 as soon as this one is ready to go into beta.
By that time, i'm gonna be needing the images for those 2 missions.
To download the first 2 images, go here (http://beta.eddy-b.com/screenshots.html).
-
Website is done - on with alpha-testing missions 3 & 4 again... but i'm almost done. The novella is getting a rewrite, and all i need now, is for SOMEONE to make just two 320x200 images for those two briefings ;(
Please ALL YOU GRAFIX ARTISTS .. apply, apply !!
-
HOLY s***! I've finished pic 3. Its different than the others, I hope you like it. If anything is unsatisfactory I can make changes if they aren't too drastic.
EDIT: btw I think I may have forgotten the email i was supposed to use so if it doesn't get to you, tell me, PM me, e-mail me (hotmail) plz.
-
The new mis3 picture is awesome... but i think i may need to rewrite the briefing .. :lol:
-
If I am not mistaken, I believe I have sent you the final renegades image (to one of your email accounts). Yes, I know, hell has finally frozen over. I hope its not too late.
-
:heh: i received it.. I believe that was the final; input for the first release pack. Now it's on it's way to the setup-engine
-
I edit pictures/photos for a living. Ill have a go at it it you like.

The style of our briefing-images is kinda cgi-like, not real images 'edited'. But i'll put you on the backup-list, in case shuffles doesn't come thru on the next set of 4 320x240's :P
(he says he will :))
-
If you need any 3D work done you can let me know. I'd love to help
-
Can those 3D models be turned into a small vid ?? (for a renegades intro)
-
Yup :whistle:
It will be a while though, we have a lot of things to do before they would be ready.
And yes, you can turn it into a video :)
-

Doesn't matter. I have something in mind, and that will take a while as well.
You'll have a ground set in a couple months i think, work from there.
And yes, you can turn it into a video :)
Good, the video will then be included once the entire mission set is done. So i guess we'll talk again next xmas.. :rolleyes: (these first 4 missions took almost 1 year to finish)
-
so, what do you need from me?
-
You'll have a ground set in a couple months i think, work from there.
Yup, hopefully we will be set by then. What do you mean horus? lol, Hmm...... I might have an idea.
Eddy-B, can you give me a basic idea of what you need in these scenes? That way, I can work on those things and get 2 things progressing at once :).
-
well, for starters: for the vid, you'll need a static background image, then you'll be needing animations of plymouth units.
Since this campaign is about a group of renegade plymouth people, i think the intro could portrait an attack between them and the original plymouth people. Let's say plymouth lynx come in to destroy a plymouth base (with a different color set: renegades is playing yellow, original plym uses default red). Then maybe the yellow tanks can come in and a fierce battle starts between them,, then showing a logo of "Renegades" .. the end

ahh.... that shouldn't be too hard. The hardest part would be doing the special effects such as the weapon fire etc.
That video, The background itself would be a 3D mesh, not a flat background if that's what you're saying :P
I don't mind working a lot on this, Modeling and the like is something I really enjoy.
Ok I'll keep that in mind :) :op2:
-
Use the same animation of rockets.
See the MPUL video
and Think -_-

It's harder that it looks. The smoke for the rocket must be done with particles, the flames for the rocket, the explosion on impact, the debris, any ground damage, damage to the vehicle.... the list goes on and on....
-
the rising clouds of smog...
things like laser and microwave should be fairly easy

Yeah, I'll use a texture with alpha channels on a plane, and just animate it shooting out of the turret...
