FL Wallpapers

nice how did you make them?

All my 3D renders come from Lightwave 3D. I export the FL models through milkshape, and from milkshape I export a Lightwave model. The model usually needs a little cleaning up, but I’ve gotten it down to a science. I can export models pretty quick now. After I have the models, at minimum I just set up a lighting rig and then render them out. The more complex ones involve a lot more work, like the one with the Banshee in the asteroid field.

Here are some more.

Is it a very old PM or something? I don’t see any PM anywhere.

Forgot about these.

Sure, what resolutions specifically do you need?

Bas

Dunno, which are used for wallpapers? ;D

Hm I would say -

800 x 600
1024 x 768
1152 x 864
1280 x 800
1280 x 960
1280 x 1024
1440 x 900
1440 x 1080
1600 x 1050
1680 x 1200

However I am a noob about those things, so maybe someone know better resolutions ^^ (or can tell us which of them are quite unused)

I also have some very nice screens - If you want to, I can give you them you may want to edit them to superior graphics ^^

It would take a lot of time. At least, it would take me a lot of time. I imagine wallpaper people are very angry people, because having to resize a bunch of pictures for three different aspect ratios really is a pain.

Why, you’ve always done a fantastic job with these renders; I remember drooling for hours on the Flak Forums seeing these. I wonder if you could, possibly, MAYBE, do a Mule Wallpaper? It’s been one of my favorite ships for a long time.

This thread delivers.

If you have XP u can simply select every pic and resize it by right-clicking and selecting ‘Convert to file format’. In there you will be given the option of setting a specific size. Just pick JPG for the format since it is normally the smallest file size and it works even on the oldest browsers.

Another option, if you’re using Photoshop, is setting up a macro / recording a new “action”. Been a lil bit since I needed to do it, but I think CS2 was easier and had a batch option, however I could just be remembering things that don’t exist again But yeh, actions are pretty handy, and can be assigned to an F (+ shift & or +ctrl) key. Helps also if you do digital photography with a crappy camera can set up auto contrast, etc.

More I think of it, I do recall that batch resize in CS2, because it was able to perform the action on all open documents.
Anyhoo, sorry for rambling. Just figured it might turn up handy.

Why, you made my day. Now, I must go make a sig with it! glee

EDIT: If you have objections to that, please let me know.

EDIT 2: Why, do you think this same thing is possible for other mods that have fully-skinned ships? I don’t mean YOU doing them, but if someone could follow your same steps and make the same quality renders for ships that aren’t classic FL?

I have a Large Collection of Maps of all the various mods i have flown – and i have XP – how do i resize them so that i can insert them into the forum for display and use – every time i try this they come out full size – some are huge 1600 x 1200 and they are all already in jpeg format – I confess to my being naive :-[
