Excellent work!

Nice to see you’ve got bump working on those textures, looks a little harsh though if you don’t mind me saying. Could just be the crap textures you’ve got to work with though I guess. Interesting to see what happens with specular.

New remaked bump texture and specular:
===============
Update:
-
If you got to much time you should remove these shadows on the textures to generate them just by bumpmaps.
Could be better for the atmosphere -

look, how many npc’s you see in orbit of New London, fighting, in orbit of NY, flying around and that’s far not many. imagine 5 players on a FL server, each surrounded with an NPC environment. is that a problem to FL? why should this one have any problems with that? we’re talking of four, maybe 5 help bots running behind you.Well, I thought you meant a lot more…to simulate a battle inside a battle or so.

It’s skybox. In FL background is sphere, but Unity3d skybox contains 6 images - textures for box

@ BUDU:
Skyboxes can be made for FL background yes, (as Forsaken did) but my question was about the textures: I have had many headaches to make proper textures with stars integrated into the clouds but in the game the stars were fade and blurred, didnt matter what resolution the textures had. Thats why the orig FL backgrounds are separated into star cmps and cloud cmps. Your starsphere appears properly the stars are bright without fading or/and blur, and it seems its just only one file.
Its not clear to me yet this is about because you use an other engine, and you can make proper skybox by using this unity3d as a result of good appearance of the backgrounds in the game, or you make a skybox converting into ms3d and from there into cmp.So, this is my question.

Since you were asking for modelers may I assume you’re not planning on sticking with freelancers stock ships and assets?
I might be interested in joining up with you on this, I’m game artist in my final year of college and just recently I was getting really interested in the idea of a freelancer reboot. We should chat soon.

haha this is really cool. these seem to be popping up everywhere…why didn’t anyone give this a go when i was modding a few years ago! ahhh…
your game is looking great! i am using unity as well but i think i will steer away from freelancer a little bit. i was planning to replicate freelancer as well and then tack on new features, but i played freelancer for years, i know it like the back of my hand, and i have a good idea of what i think works well and what could be added, so i am going to build a new game from the ground up incorporating those features…
anyway, best of luck to you and your team!

Bit of a gravedig here man

Hard to say, really. It’s been since February since the last update. Who knows.

Sorry, the project is now postponed - I don’t have time to do it alone. I can share source code for unity3d, if someone can complete it.
My main idea was to show that other engine such as Unity3d can extend the life of the game.
If you could complete this project, it would be perfect.
To complete this project needs a team, money (a licensed version of Unity3d with shaders, shadows, etc.). and time. Our team is now is not ready to work with this large project = (
