Loving the new logo :) 

nice new masthead, metl :) 

...nice job john 

 

As I said in site Help thread, I'd rather see a quake logo instead of a heart logo on the crate's faces.. Well, after all it's John's taste, and also John's website... 

I just forgot to say that except the heart, the crate is awesome :) 

The heart is for the warm french lovers here. :) 

now please replace all other icons and pictures on the site with the same thing please thanks 

i miss the old crate :((((( 

is crawling along at full: 92.93% Elapsed: 57h 5m

Weird mixture of excitement, anticipation and frustration. 

nice, is this some portal joke? 

i just wanted to post 

hi, welcome to func. is this your first time? 

Even at 93%, your still not that close from it being done. Just keep hanging in there. 

it's just a temporary thing, like the christmas logo. 

Finally remembered to link the CrazyBump tool at work since I haven't been texturing recently.

Very well received, thanks for the link. 

Demo is out... go play it! 

... but read the smallprint. 

Send me cake!!!

thanks spirit. I like how they made sure you accept no substitutes, by blowing up the word "substitutes". I won't accept any, thanks! Far too dangerous to do so. 

im looking at spaceship designs (the realistic scifi stuff) atm for level design inspiration - why are spaceships always designed in a way that the surface is so rough and uneven, but still has some sort of hull? http://www.artships.com/2005/rbr_top_quarter.jpg http://www.artships.com/2005/exelon_front_side.jpg

this freighter seems to make some sense: http://www.artships.com/2002/truck_front.jpg

im trying to look at things this way: how would large scale invasion spaceships work and look? 

one thing that real spaceships already use and will need in the future is radiators to get rid of the waste heat that is produced. For example, when you generate electricity, there will be waste heat. And usually, the bigger the ship, the less surface area it has in relation to mass so more of the surface must be covered in radiators.

ISS has radiators protruding from the trusses, they are somewhat smaller and more "cranked" than the solar panels and have fluid flowing inside them. Shuttle has the radiators on the back side of the payload bay doors, so the doors have to be opened on orbit. 

the boiler-plate detailing is intended to imply functional, mass-production manufacture and construction that belies deeper technology beneath all those panels and stuff. fancy slick things that are all one smooth shape don't feel so real and accessible - they're more fantastic. 

you need to open up places to exchange components... Like in ships. Yet the hull that is in the water is quite smooth, for obvious reasons. The changes have to be done from the other side. For spaceships there can or then perhaps can not be reasons for that. Heat or micrometeoroid shielding comes as one that would facilitate building a big smooth continuous shield on one side and having all the greebles and hatches etc on the other side...
