Subject: [IML] Quest: errm....help?
Hi IML'ers
I've a couple of questions for you all:
1:- How do I create/or where do I get a decent spaceship type
texture. you know, sort of B5 looking dirty panels.
(Don't say use Dethstar.itx, because it looks cruddy, even with
dirt added. - BTW I think dirt is the best texture, I use it
on everything.)
2:- How do I create a decent looking laser..??
(I've tried the 2 tubes trick, but it doesn't look good at all)
3:- I am after a util/whatever to add lasers/explosions/special effects
to my stills/anims. is there such a util...??????

Essence's Hullplate texture is great for that.

I thought that it was because these kinds of mails this mailinglists
subject was created, to have people help each other.

There are 2 programs I can think of that I think Will do what you
want. The one I use is WinImages by Black Belt Systems, I don't have their
URL handy, but it isn't hard to find. This program is an 'image processor'
of sorts, does image sequences, anims in anims, things like that, for fire,
glows, lightning, and more, it do great.
The other that I can think off, I have it, looked at it, but haven't
really played with nor used it, is a shareware program called ENERGY,
again, I don't have a clue even where I got it, but if you would like I can
look for it.
But I do know that it won't touch WinImages, which also has a morph
program built in, and for the Amiga folks, Yes this did start out as an
Amiga program called Imagemaster RT, which is also a very powerful image
processor for the amiga.

Deathstar is the best for panels, I use it on all my ships, it just take
a while to learn how to use properly.
I used it on all my Star trek models at Alternately you could add about
three copies of the rectchex texture without the align option checked.
Remember to keep it subtle, if you look at modern figther craft there
covered in panels but from 6 feet away you can't see them. Dethstars
defaults are way to big. Decrease bevel size, and remove bevel dirt and
you get something more useful.

There was a component of a lightning tutorial I was reading that made
nice tube like objects with a glow around them, they make pretty good
lasers. the link is on the Imagine tutorial list. there was also stuff
on pyrotechnics there.

I think the zip file was billtute.zip or something like that.
I also saw a nice tut on doing Photon torp like effects
at:
no idea sorry, I'll mail it if you need it.
You can also try dare to imagine at
http://www.ncinter.net/%7Eiansmith/d2i/INDEX.html
which has bucket loads of lasers space ship hulls explosions and stuff.
Well
gotta go chop down a tree
have fun all
