right.

In fact id like to play with the horizons there. the ships should be vertical and not horizontaly. Assuming and only that is a test pic and the battle can be more visible and intence.

Considering where the tower could be i could place it the the south section of the Eye so the battle is visible from down to up. Twisted dark side Twisted perspectives.

Also in the second pic fixed the light in the window. to match with the later shot.

PS: I HATE THE NEW FORUM SIZE RESTRICTIONS :(

ARG!

where is the old skin!!!

Everything is too small here!

Bad way to wake up

-Angel

huh.

Nice idea!

-Angel

Ady did you add/remove the red stripes?

-Angel

-Angel

yes, all the stardestroyer engines will be blue

yes, thats been fixed too

Great news

I may be eliminating that shot

Not so great news.

Anyways thanks for the updates ady :)

TFU week!

Straight from TFU art dep.

I hope can give ideas.

Edit:

I agree, but if space is black, the ships are gray, the lights are white.

Depends and its not absolute. In a general rule we cant have dead blacks or dead whites. the highlights in space can have a yelow orange hue (2-5%) because of the nearby solar system. Wondering why in OT we never see one :P

-Angel

An other idea is to make the death star II more dark metal. Like its more fearshome look. I know the neutral grey is cold deathy but just playing with thoughts and concepts.

We all know that ROTJ is had poor light dep. We can at least increase some wow/drama factors with better elements that can be done with simple tips. Darker metal is a choice. I will make some mockups.

-Angel

that was the concept anyways. You already know it

Dangerous or not we can assume that the ships cant touch the eye. more convinient rather a toothpick on the top of the station.

And makes like i said the landscape more interesting.

As for the luke watches straight we can always play/establish the horizon level. The image i made was a teaser/test how can work.

ideas?

if the scene is perfectly white balanced the metal SHOULD be gray.

I find blue metal for more strange.

if the metal is blueish and white balanced then we will have weird flesh tones or redish hues.

Is Executor weird? Even its exterior metal :)

Did anyone else notice that Clive Reville's name is still listed in the credits?

I was wondering what should be done with it.

Ady is reworking/ed the credits. so dont bother with that.

@sluggo: yeah, i should make some mockups with that :D

-Angel

Maybe this can be used in some after battle shots. maybe when luke sees the falcon leaves or when luke is ready to leave with the xwing. adding distant debri and smokes.

Image from TFU. original size 1024x512

The art contains the undamaged too with an interesting angle. Recommended for distant shots. Maybe the shot when we see the shield from executor monitor.

-Angel

nice. thanks for make this boobie clear to me :P

-Angel

What is rack?

-Angel

Going with the concept put something behind this window thanks again Force unleashed i came with that concept.

the second pic is when the emperor turning( lazy to add it to the other frame) so we can unfocus the foreground and focus the eye of death. Already we can put several subtle movement with TIES or soooome industrial sounds.

Thoughs?

Credit goes to TFU art dep

thanks savmagoett for the death star lights :)

-Angel

No worries :) you didnt

He does do a great job, but doing a still and doing it the same in motion are two different things....

...and he doesnt care about motion just yet :P

Good news there ady. :) Always good news.

-Angel

i say just a thought to improve visual and de retroize the noise look (it has been mentioned before) is to take the exposure/light concept that we see in ROTS

and fit it to ESB only is several frames long.

i said again its an idea.

Remember, they're on a video screen, not live in the room.  Small areas of color get desaturated over transmission like that.

Desaturation yes. but not the blues becomes faded reds ;)

While it might look convincing to people living in 1980 (and those days home video technology) it is totally unconvincing 30 years later especially considering it is communication within the vessel. An organisation like the Empire that is capable of building ships like the Executor and travelling through hyperspace should be capable to generate undisturbed HD-quality within its vessels, shouldn't it? And we are talking about the command section of the vessel: Communication between leader and bridge, i.e. the most important sections!

Good point. Maybe the empire have stereoscopic monitors instead of holograms? hmmm not a bad idea!

-Angel

Spot the difference :)

Wondering why this happened...

-Angel

I was lucky that i got TFU sith edition these days. As an artist i noticed first the textures/light/mood and then the actual game. Which brings me to that:

the cubemap used for the tattooine mission.(lucasarts takes the credit there)

The original is in HR and i strongly suggest it for some tattoine mattes in ROTJ:R. it has all the key points we see in the movies with a very interesting landscape.

And no, HR is not available for you :P

-Angel

Yes. But is for an other project

Angel, why do you have to sharpen everything so much on your mockups?

I like it. just it

-Angel

Im not sure about indiana jones but my mockups are ESB:R related.
