Kupu's thread

Ooooh, Astrotech beam conduits look nice now. I will miss the metal grilles on top, though... Those made them really nice for in-floor details.

Yea, it was a close call to remove them. I may actually do what i did with the Beam Module and place a mesh / grill on the top or side only?
Best of both worlds perhaps?

That would be an improvement.

Top would be best, that way we can use the tops as floors, and the sides for pipe detailing :D

So, out of all the post feedback buttons which one is closest in meaning to "This post gave me an erection"?

Maybe I missed it, but do we have any idea when we can expect some of the new textures to be released?

Hopefully, alongside the next update... which currently doesn't have a solid release date. Sorry, not very helpful! ^^

:O Nothing but love for you miscreants.

if the embed fails : gfycat.com/WarlikeEasyAquaticleech for higher res version.


It's not much, but hopefully it shows the differences in materials. Shiny metal shines, dull metal doesn't. Crevices and parts of the block that would naturally occlude light no longer blast back shiny reflections.

No more shiny dark joints in bits that look shadowy. This will again help reduce the "plastic mold" look.

EDIT: Rail blocks, like a few others are almost identical in design to avoid any mistakes when the new pack rolls out.

As a user of the Pixel Pack I whole-heartedly agree with and cannot wait much longer for this wonderful overhaul to happen. Please give us this update Kupu C:

I just noticed that the little arrow on the rail basic is not on the center triangle thing... I am now deeply disturbed.

Also, blame chat for this, but we had a discussion about the carved blocks and how they're not particularly used much... I think we ended up agreeing that it was because they aren't really good counterparts for real world materials...

I think it's important to vary not only color, but also design, perhaps have some tiling, some seamless, and others with slightly more intricate designs

Spoiler: 4 INSPIRATIONAL PHOTOS

last one could definitely be carved Larimar

p.s.
Wood Planks pls

So today we are sitting at around 50, maybe 60%.

Fresh off the press, a very rough WiP. I don't suppose it needs much explaining? You shouldn't have to use a flashlight to see you're computer screens eh?

Time to fix a brew and get drawing.

this is what I want to see .. screens that give off their own light
and I see it on youtube vids

but no mather how I mess around with the video settings
they refuse to do this very thing

the only blocks that look like this is the newly added console block

what am I doing wrong ?

do I need some special texture pack?

and if so where do I get it ?

I play starmade on 2 laptops (1 windows, 1 Linux) and I encounter this one one but not the other. it may have to do with your particular graphics card.

Have you the "Enable normal mapping" option active? If you don't you won't get the emissive maps (glowy bits) and also missing out on some other sweet effects

 

[wanzer]

yes but when I put on normal mapping I don't get lights but the surface of the textures give a rly bad wave like pattern

like the material is warped like waves on the ocean

ill try to post what it looks like

Are you using the Default textures or another one?

 

[wanzer]

I have not tinkered around with texture packs.. yet

here I turned on the normal mapping

 

[Travesty]

Edit: Whoops. Removed so as not to mislead anyone.

 

[wanzer]

hray
I figured it out

when you toggle on the normal maps

it loads them in game
but not the light maps

when you restart the game
it loads the right normal and the lights

i never made the connection of putting on the normal maps to get lights

 

[Captain Tankman]

It's because the emissive maps are embeded in the normal maps
