the Pyro GX returns

Spectre · Post by **Spectre** » Sun Jun 06, 2004 11:45 am

Hello everyone,
I'm here just to announce the majour update on my gallery, regarding the new pyro gx renders.
Now they are totally new, I had a direct talk with Eagle and we clarified all.
Now these are 100% made by me (and parallax software, obviously); even the textures now aren't image map based, but just procedurals and so on.
As usaual, I tried to stay as close as possible at the ORIGINAL, even looking at D1 ingame pics and D1/D2 geometries.
As you will notice, I also tried to reproduce the popular D1 7th level Mercury mine boss area, and just added some details that i thought could be there if D1 engine allowed it

Hope now you can enjoy them

Daum. I don't suppose we could convince you to make those into in-game models?

That I imagine is what Descent would look like if it was remade with the doom3 graphics engine. Very Pretty

Thats the best Descent art I've seen in a long time. Great job!

As expected

Wow man, I explicitly said IT DOESN'T USE any kind of textures!...your gx skin (or, better, Eagle's model skin) maybe has the same rusty-bumped look, but aren't the same.
Is it enough, or do you want me to post the procedural textures previews with the parameters i used, or I should provide you their source code...don't know..

bah

The pics don't really show the textures well but fromt he shape of the ship, it looks like the same ones. I'm not accusing you of anything but they do look similar.

You wouldnt mind if I did an article about your art on my site would you? Might get you an extra couple visitors.

And you're asking that? sure! Go!

Game models.. O_o the first version had alredy too many polys...this has about 20.000! neither halflife2 engine could support it! I should make a low-poly version..and at this point use eagle's model! Maybe I could realize some models for the weapons for a d1/2 looking mod.
But i neither used 3dstudiomax, so how to import it in the outrage's strange file formats?

Its the newest article.

Mr. Perfect · Post by **Mr. Perfect** » Tue Jun 08, 2004 9:04 pm

Oh... Yeah, that's a bit much...

I just wish D3 looked more like your renders and less like, well, what it does.

There where people about a year ago who where making game models, but they all dropped the projects.

For that, you should wait for descent IV...

For trackball: cool. Thanks

Yeah, the Pyro-GX scenes look awesome. What we all wished D1 looked like even though it was beyond the technology of the time.

Mr. Perfect · Post by **Mr. Perfect** » Thu Jun 10, 2004 9:26 pm

By the way, both Milkshape and 3D Studio files can be converted to D3 files.

i was trying to get Eagle's GX into Battlefield Vietnam once, but I got some texture errors or something so I gave up on it.

Mr. Perfect · Post by **Mr. Perfect** » Sat Jun 12, 2004 9:34 pm

Try it in BF 1942, Vietnam had a double layer texture system or some such.

Spectre · Post by **Spectre** » Sun Jun 13, 2004 2:36 am

a 7th boss render is coming as soon as i get the description translated

My italian ain't that good otherwise I'd love to help you. I am looking forward to see Phoenix-Pictures...Keep up that great work dude!

Spectre · Post by **Spectre** » Sun Jun 13, 2004 8:32 am

i was talking about italian>english translation. I'm italian. I'm not so good in complex sentences translations!

The next is the magnum, but it can wait if you prefer the phoenix first

Duper · Post by **Duper** » Sun Jun 13, 2004 12:56 pm

Dude, I love the artwork. The surroundings are some of the most realistic I've seen yet.

The one thing that gets me is that most of the 3D models done of the Pyro is too thin. Top to bottom-wise that is.

Too bad the model for the one in the D2 opening movie can't be found. Anyone have any ideas who did it as a bit of trivia? The specific artist that is.

Spectre · Post by **Spectre** » Tue Jun 15, 2004 2:06 am

allright, the boss area is up now.
Next, the phoenix. I imagine it with cool sportive decals... like fast and furious

Mr. Perfect · Post by **Mr. Perfect** » Tue Jun 15, 2004 1:25 pm

You put a NOS sticker on it and I'll come over there and slap yah.

Hehe, the Phoenix deserves to be riced

Mr. Perfect · Post by **Mr. Perfect** » Tue Jun 15, 2004 5:28 pm

Yeah, but I don't feal like looking at rice.

Who?

Top Gun · Post by **Top Gun** » Fri Jun 18, 2004 6:13 pm

I meant Spectre. I was surprised that someone could make a shot of that ship that makes it look appealing (yes, my hate for the Phoenix runs deep)

. Great work, Spectre. Keep it up, and get a Magnum render out soon

Spectre · Post by **Spectre** » Sat Jun 19, 2004 6:54 am

I could make even better textures if i only had a tablet or some skills in hand-free drawing...

TG, It's just a quadpumped rip of the orginal model from the d3.hog

It was a joke, you know

.

Spectre · Post by **Spectre** » Sat Jun 19, 2004 12:16 pm

yes I know he is always joking

He doesn't understand that the similarity is a positive thing, because you feel it's the real phoenix whithout any polycount limit.
IF he's not joking, i could write here an infinite number of things that can trash its theories

But, you know, I'm not pleased of acting as an enemy of any descenter here!

Spectre · Post by **Spectre** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 1:35 pm

Finally the phoenix has been completed. It's up and waiting for you...

I like so much the second render (the one with the blue strpes)!
