I have a question:

Does someone know how to make planet like Europa round ? As it is now it look uggly.
I looked in the doc but didn't find anything about that.

Much thanks

Dan

The only thing that I can think of off-hand is to make a custom mesh for it, like the ones for Phobos and Deimos. Shouldn't be too hard, it's just a sphere. Texturing may be interesting, though. I wouldn't know.

Hey Dan, your right Fuel dumping is visable in the atmosphere only, not in orbit anyway to make it visable in space, or is this a DGIV limitation.Thanks

I know the XR2 has fuel dumping visible in space, but it's white, not grey.

 

[Interceptor]

Yeah the XR2 fuel dumping you can see in orbit.

Arrow freighter is finished, I've done quickly a video with a news movie maker soft that show some feature, a stunning take-off, docking, lights, rovers IA etc etc...
Was done without story-board and quickly, it's temporary... (but I love the take-off with the music, pump up the volume )

Now that is a cool transport! Great video, too! :speakcool:

 

[Ark]

What's the story on those surface tiles?

 

[Woo482]

wow ! I can't wait for this to be released

 

[PriestLizard]

Hehe this thing looks heavy Reminds me of the space shuttle carrier 747 lifting a shuttle into the sky.

Its really awesome Dan... I'm really looking forward to the release. I have my exam at October 1st and after that I will be orbiting again... finish it untill then okayz?

 

[dansteph]

Thanks to all,

Well the video is a bit flawed because I spent almost all my time trying to solve movie maker problem: it washed the black in gray and the ski looked really uggly. Now it's better but the sky is still not black.

What's the story on those surface tiles?

UCGO was originally planned to be released with some bases because rolling with cars on generic texture doesn't give anything good, you don't feel any speed and it's juste boring. Now picto was in charge of bases unfortunatelly he have now real life obligation. So this was my try to texture a litle area of europe, 4kmx4km. This give a good landing point to etablish a base and make use of rovers fun. I think I'll do also a small area of mars and put navaid to acceed such area. They will not be in usual base location so it will not overwrite existing addons.

Best

Dan

 

[the.punk]

This looks just amazing.:speakcool:

A question:
In which year is the spacecraft?

 

[Dambuster]

Are you planning to have a few different types of buildings/inflatable structures, so we could introduce a little bit of diversity into our bases? That would be really cool if so

EDIT: Also, what music are you using in your videos?
