Ambrosia Software Web Board: Ares Magma? - Ambrosia Software Web Board

I thought it would be cool to have an Ares magma. I can't do it myself for three reasons:

1-I suck at making graphics
2-I suck at making graphics
3-See the above two reasons

Anyone who wants to try and do it great. You could put me in an inspiration section of the credits if you're really nice. Just trying to inspire some of you.

You might find a yourself at odds with MeowX if you tried that, though...

Most of us who do graphics would rather do our own plugs.
After EVN:Ares is released, try using the graphics from there.

I think that the Ares graphics are totally cool the way they are. If they were modified then it would probably seriously mess up the "feel" of Ares.
Although, I'd like to see them all rendered at the same angle, and the larger ships rendered at full size instead of being pixelised by the sizing up.

Well, with a uniform 45 camera angle and non-pixelized ship graphics, it would be nicer.

However, I think that anything worth saying about improved graphics has already been said above. The Ares Project will include the kind of cooler graphics you're looking for. But it won't have altered versions, which is what *we're* looking for.

The Ares Project *has* to have improved graphics, so as to not disappoint the Nova community. However, most of us around here are working on TCs of our own, and I for one couldn't do justice to the original graphics anyway.

If you could get meowx to do it, that would rock. If you or someone else wants to do it, use a different name.

If at first you don't succeed, use more duct tape.

I don't think Ares Magma is a good idea. For one thing, the original EVO Ares magma had a good reason for existing - the EVO ships aren't very good models. But NL has got considerably more skill in regards to that (atleast when he wasn't sloppy.) Sounds are great, physics are very Aresian... it would be better to simply create an entirely new plug.

" 'Tis a dangerous thing to engage the authority of scripture in disputes about the natural world, in opposition to reason; lest time, which brings all things to light, should discover that to be evidently false which we had made scripture to assert....We are not to suppose that any truth concerning the natural world can be an enemy to religion; for truth cannot be an enemy to truth, God is not divided against himself" Thomas Burnett, 17th century clergyman and geologist.
