Have to share this pic

[Gecko6]

This pic was from tonight's testing of lights and afterburner effects. These are still WIP but I really like how this turned out.

 

Still need quite a few more lights and effect tweaks but I wanted to share with you now. Enjoy!

 

To Keep up with our progress feel free to visit our page on Facebook. i will make a point to post it the ED forums till we get our own in the Dev Section.

Looks nice, just to add some color tints from bluish to orange - red. :thumbup:

Yes, originally it was DEEP orange, but was too deep and too opague.

 

I dropped the RGB and Alpha Layer a large amount to see how it would render in the Engine.

(which is when the screenshot was taken).

 

The mesh will prolly be re-structured and more detail added so the egdes arent as "hard" as they appear in the above screenshot, i want a more faded/soft edge.. and some noise to make it appear to have high velocity movement. With the Heatblur On it looks Gorgeous, once the Heat Blur fades and turns off at speed the AB looks kinda lifeless. which is where the velocity texture effects will come in.

 

It's still a WIP, So any feedback is appreciated.

(dont be afraid to say "it sucks skate, re-do it"). lol

Good start, guys!

My feedback would be, good work so far, I would only change afterburner texture to be just a little blurrier at the edges, right now they look little too sharp to me

Great work and props for modding DCS. But I gotta give honest criticism - the streaks exiting the engine are too sharp, too thin and there are too many. I have never seen a video or picture where the afterburner cone was that sharp.

Damn... Great!!!!;)

it was a place holder texture while i test different methods. its by no means the final setup.
