Hehe thank you :) We went with a LeMans-alike design here ;)

Hehe thank you :) We went with a LeMans-alike design here ;)
Thanks! The team/pilot is actually from New Zealand! ;)
Ah, yes, on closer inspection, that IS a NZ flag, not Australia. Still, that's awesome!
CEN-R is done!

I like that Triakis exhuast :g looking really good!
If it helps I would gladly contribute some of the sponsors done for the WipEout Deceit Project :)
Hey Sausehuhn.
Well the problem about using those sponsors is that we're not sure we can use Wipeout related content. We've been trying to contact Sony about that matter, but we haven't got any reply yet, so we're trying to keep all Wipeout references to a minimum. If we manage to get permission from Sony, then we will consider your offering.
Thanks!
Yep, I can clearly see that. Then again, there’s still a hand full of sponsors left, not related at all :)
Well, ok, PM me your skype name so I can add you to the group for file sharing.
I love that Cen-R skin Xpand!
By the way, I noticed something interesting. Coincidence or inspiration? The first is the turbo symbol. The second one is the flag of the Aichi prefecture in Japan. Striking resemblance, no?
I stumbled across this because while I think everything else is looking brilliant (the tracks, ship models, item symbols), I feel that the team and sponsor logos are comparatively lacking. They don't have that same professional feel that everything else in SSGX has. Just compare the WipEout team logos to the SSGX ones. The WipEout ones just have a much more professional feel. I know, that kind of criticism isn't that useful, but I think in general the issue is that the SSGX ones feel too "busy". Especially Amphithere and Atlas. Also Ifreet and Logos look a little too similar.
Anyway, I thought that this page with all the flags of Japanese prefectures have some great ideas. A lot of those flags have very clean designs on them which seem to fit well in the WipEout universe. I wanted to get some inspiration and try to come up with some alternate team logo designs.
Long story short, looks like someone had a similar idea to draw ideas from these flags =) Either that or just an insane coincidence that they turned out so similarly!
If you mean that you're the one who made sponsors like Cosmic Cab, 12A Global Engineering, Katmoda Project, I-TEC Activator, and KING, SSGX would benefit greatly from your work! The sponsor mockups for WipEout deceit look outstanding. I imagine there shouldn't be any copyright issues since these aren't actually connected to the real WipEout in any way.
Hey!
Thanks for the criticism. Yeah I also agree that some team logos need to be updated. Most of thost you said haven't been updated since like 2 years ago.
Hey there, thanks for your critique.
And you got 100%, our weapon logos are all inspired by the japanese city and prefecture symbols, only some are modified a bit. You can try to find all belonging japanese symbols for each pickup logo ;)
But because of that we use won't those style of art at any other sponsor logo we have. The pickup symbols have to stick out to the rest of the art in the game, or better said: It has to be another group to fit in.
Ah yes, I just found oryxcake's original post and thought I recognized the Akita prefecture symbol. Also Hiroshima.
Anyway, glad to see you're considering updating the team logos. I also noticed TypeProton's sponsors just now and they're great. Well, there goes my primary concerns! Keep up the great work!

So we're shooting Japanese prefectures at eachother now?
The biggest wins :D
I went to the website today and it's nice to see some of the team logos have been worked on =) Looking good. Not to mention the new Team pages are nice. Is the Advanced View not implemented at the moment?
The advanced view is not active because it's going to show some data retrieved from the game itself, like thrust ratio and technical stuff like that.
Ooh, that'll be interesting!
Here's part 1 of me building the next prototype ship in 3ds max 8. If anyone's interested in modeling and would like to take a look just click the link:

Here's one of the many references to this great forum that started it all:

great work, would love to see wireframes and texture maps on the models (curious 3D artist here) and was wondering if you're using the HP to LP workflow or wether you're directly modelling into low poly
Love some of the designing in here :)
Cipher
Thanks!
You can see how a ship is currently being modeled for the game here:
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?feat...2p5HtddqMQpaao
I usually make the model directly for the game. I don't make high poly models to optimize later. Ain't nobody got time fo' dat.
that time pays off though, personally find that you can go lower poly using normal maps without having a strong seam from one poly to the other
meeh, don't know, i just like modelling in HP :p
Keep it up! Good stuff ;-)
Cipher
Yeah but since they're specifically game models there's no reason to make them HP. I'd end up with a bunch of useless high poly models occupying space in my already crowded HDD...
I'm also more specialized in low/medium poly modeling than really high poly because I've been only making game models for 8 years now.
I always apply smaller details on the textures as well.
i always love to look back on HP models, dem smooth curves and such ^^, love it!
Though main advantage of HP to LP is that you can have dynamic lighting information on small details like screws/ indents/ bolts/ ... baking it into the normals
But everyone his own choice, so carry on ;-)
Cipher
Lol, I always textured my normals, like rivets and welding lines. Didn't know you could calculate them from actual mesh...

well, depending on your HP modelling skills and attention to detail when modelling the HP it can pay off nicely
an example + compact tutorial can be found here; http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/aut...ap-in-3ds-max/
from the videos u posted earlier i'm assuming you're still using max ;)
for feedback on the ship, modelling looks great, would adjust the texturing to have more of a metal feel (maybe some scratches and what not) ignore this if it's still WIP :)
Cipher
Thanks for that, I'll look into it.
There's also another reason why I don't go HP first, aside from lack of time. I usually do lots of drawings of the ships before modeling, so I basically convert HP to LP/MP inside my head while modeling. :g
Tecnically the ships are more carbon fiber than metal on the skin. For obvious reasons.
In another topic: Flying cameras:
Attachment 7791
Modelling on the fly is the best, not really time efficient, but sure as hell fun/relaxing :)
and love the cameras :D
Cipher
Hey Cipher, nice to see you in here! How's it going? Still doing BB videos? :D
Are you good at modeling? U like to help me out on a track because right now I somehow swapped to coding xd
hah doc! been fine thanks, just lots of college work, still doing BBs from time to time ^ but how's you?
As for the modelling, my modelling skills are nice, but there's still lots i need to learn on rigging/ animation and texturing, stuff i'll see next college year
although i did get great grades for my final this year; http://i44.tinypic.com/2mwuv7d.jpg (cape and logo are project requirements (had to be a superhero car))
a very low quality render is here(without AO); http://i42.tinypic.com/j6toom.png
although it isn't 100% finished, but i haven't found the time yet to do so
so yeah, probably wont have any time modelling for you guys (college is coming up again with millions of tasks...)
And coding in C++ ? or using an engine's code thingy? coding without an engine sucks lol
Cipher
Am doing fine aswell, just has some holidays. But I don't play WOHD so often atm. If I sit infront of the screen, most of the time there is SSGX stuff on it^^
Wow, very great model of the car. Really impressed!
Haha am using the Unity engine to code. It is JavaScript but with some adjustments to fit into the Unity world. Whole SSGX is made in Unity. Pretty nice and easy to learn actually.
wish i had holidays.. damn retakes :(
and i know that feeling working on 1 project all the time, did modding and map making back in the day, the editor was continuously on my screen :D (modified unreal engine), learned a lot from it, great stuff, nowadays i can't really find the time anymore, whichh is sad, because i never got to finish that project 100%, but i will... some day ^^
Never worked with Unity before, we were supposed this college year, but there was a licensing problem which prevented the college from handing out the software (although you can use it for personal use...)
And not a fan of Java lol, prefer C++, although each has their advantages ;)
Cipher
Eye candy! ;)

Very nice! Which track is that?
(Sorry if you've already mentioned it before)
No problem :D
This is "Hubian". It is TypeProtons own idea and creation. Settled in China and is currently in the modeling process by dreadofmondays.
But I think Type can hand out some more info about this track :)
