Hello, I am yet another individual who would like to join ranks and rub shoulders with the rest of you on this project. My speciality is textures and the traditional mediums like paintbrush and pencil. (When I say paintbrush I mean a canvas and a brush not the hack job found on most computers.) Here is some of my work.













And I must say that I have been a lurker for about 3 months now and was about to join yesterday until my hopes were devistated by seeing three of the most talented graphics members banned for bad conduct. Linux... I mean really. I fell for it despite it being that obvious. I was about to join just to say what a bad idea that was...

I am somewhat versed in what has been going down as of late. Alien proposals. Ship design, Icon design. But I don't know where I will be the most help, so if someone can point me in the right direction I will get started.

Thanks.

One more thing. I am very active in the Filter Forge community, check out http://www.filterforge.com and have access to a lot of high end textures through that as well. All of the above images are my work, but there is also a lot of such as this that are free for creative purposes. So again point me in the right direction and I will get working.

Welcome

I don't know if you've done this, but i suggest you download the game and poke around in the art folder to get an idea about how things work.

Nebulae are a good example of something that we can always use more of. All you have to do is drop a similarly named file in with the other nebula, and the game will use it. (Actually it chooses randomly from the available nebulae, but you can increase your chances by picking a big galaxy and removing a lot of the other nebulae.

I don't know if you can generate sufficient good looking nebulae with your filter creator, but there are always hubble images to use.

These are not yet implemented, but we will need textures to wrap around 3D suns.
You can look in the art folder to see the star colors.
