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.

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.

Eddy-B · « **Reply #4 on:** January 05, 2005, 12:14:51 PM »

plymoth45 · « **Reply #5 on:** January 05, 2005, 05:16:27 PM »

it2000us · « **Reply #6 on:** January 05, 2005, 10:54:09 PM »

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.

TRIX Rabbit · « **Reply #8 on:** January 06, 2005, 02:36:22 PM »

i'll do graphics, id love to modify stuff to suit the need

Zircon · « **Reply #9 on:** January 07, 2005, 07:41:17 AM »

Still here, it's just that University has ways of keeping people busy (very busy) even during the holidays.

Eddy-B · « **Reply #10 on:** January 08, 2005, 01:55:54 PM »

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:

zeritou · « **Reply #11 on:** January 11, 2005, 09:37:20 AM »

ill help but only with 2d graphics, or the cheap imitations of 3d

not good with shading

id be using photoshop 6.0.1

Eddy-B · « **Reply #12 on:** January 11, 2005, 10:33:24 AM »

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 (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.

it2000us · « **Reply #13 on:** March 11, 2005, 06:56:35 PM »

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
Those 320x240 BMPs are in directory OP2SHRES; Bitmap_44.bmp ~ Bitmap_67.bmp

Tellaris · « **Reply #15 on:** March 14, 2005, 01:42:14 AM »

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

Mission 2: 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_58.bmp

Mission 4: http://beta.eddy-b.com/bitmaps/OP2SHRES/Bitmap_61.bmp

Anyway, thats stuff I was thinking would go great

it2000us · « **Reply #16 on:** March 14, 2005, 12:28:07 PM »

yo eddy-b, is ur web site down? cuz im getting errors to the link u gave me.

Shuffles · « **Reply #17 on:** March 21, 2005, 01:48:01 PM »

I think I could cook something up for you. But it would be 2D. I may as well give it a shot.

Leviathan · « **Reply #18 on:** March 21, 2005, 01:54:53 PM »

even if you could only do one image for a mission it would be appreciated.

Nightmare24148 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 21, 2005, 10:03:32 PM »

Well I cant do art much exvept some good Paint skills BUT I am gonna try learning C++ sometime to help perhaps...

^_^

it2000us · « **Reply #20 on:** March 21, 2005, 10:25:40 PM »

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.

Eddy-B · « **Reply #21 on:** April 01, 2005, 04:06:34 PM »

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!

Shuffles · « **Reply #22 on:** April 01, 2005, 04:34:23 PM »

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 ...

Eddy-B · « **Reply #23 on:** April 06, 2005, 03:41:22 PM »

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: )

Shuffles · « **Reply #24 on:** April 06, 2005, 04:06:35 PM »

Oh, so you like it? Was that what you were looking for?
