Ah yeah, that idea worked pretty well. There's a point light in there and a spotlight with a 2.5 degree angle buried inside a torus. That'd work for exhausts

That ship looks pretty damn awesome. I've pasted some details on the lights below..... Powers and the length of the ship I was using them on(within Vue) so you can fiddle with them by knowing the relative sizes: Ship length 2.563 Km Point lights - power of 1400 Volumetric lighting enabled, intensity...

Argh, yeah, it's not quite as bad here as further south, but it's still hot.

Last night I drove home at 12:30am.... With the roof down on the car

If possible.... I've got my idea fleshed out, just not had time to put it down on paper....

Yeah, not bad at all.....

Eeeeeeee... I found a quite nifty tutorial on creating planets while looking for ways to do explosions (I didn't find any). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLJnhqZHSA4 I had to improvise a bit with the original texture, but the result is pretty decent and I learned a few things about the mighty func...

Hehehe, nothing more sinister than 3 different lights either side of each engine 'fin'.... So 18 all together. 6 of them are volumetric point lights, that gives the spherical element of the light. 6 of them are quadratic spot lights with a spread of 87.5 degrees, so it'll spread out to the sides. 6 ...

Heheh, yeah, they're still there, just hard to see from that angle. I'd better keep that in mind

I'm at the point of preview renders! Just need to do something with the ship now.....

This is now available to purchase on Steam, as is SpaceEngine Pro. Looks kinda cool!

Already purchased, good sir

Good to see you still lurking around, CSE. I look forward to seeing what delights you can conjure up!

Meanwhile, what was once a cube is now slightly less of a cube.....

As with all good spaceships.... It starts with a cube

(And an Ares class for scale.....)

Heyaa! i'm sorry I disappeared for so long. I... wasn't doing so well. :? It's a bit difficult to explain the "why" behind it, but Josh shutting down Limit Theory hit me really, really hard. I limped along for a while afterwards and pretended everything was cool, but it didn't take long for it to c...

Choo choo!

I think it's time to dust off Vue and get building spaceships again
