The new texture set is hopefully going to be ready in approximately 5 weeks from now. I'm drawing up my schedule for the remaining blocks, building my material library for the new lighting and buying more coffee... wish me luck star-mates.
While it may not of seen like a huge boon at the time, this new lighting system was required for the new pack to work effectively. Hopefully i have a couple of shots here to help illustrate that.
While they are not final, nor particularly exciting in subject, it showcases an ability we've not really had in starmade before. We can stop wrestling with lighting issues and give more accurate material properties, shiny things will shine, dull things won't. Plastics, rubber, metal, sand, all different. It's the little things :D
Glinting sand in the sun. Dull in the shade.
Shiny metals, coated metals, scratched metals... all a little less plastic ^^'
I'll continue to show more (exciting) blocks in the future. We're nearly on the home straight. Thanks for the patience and support <3
