Nice to see you've got bump working on those textures, looks a little harsh though if you don't mind me saying. Could just be the crap textures you've got to work with though I guess. Interesting to see what happens with specular.

If you got to much time you should remove these shadows on the textures to generate them just by bumpmaps.
Could be better for the atmosphere

Eve is more sim than FL ever will be, but back to topic...

That latest video looks cool, the only ugly thing is that blue something in the background.

It's skybox. In FL background is sphere, but Unity3d skybox contains 6 images - textures for box

@ BUDU:

Skyboxes can be made for FL background yes, (as Forsaken did) but my question was about the textures: I have had many headaches to make proper textures with stars integrated into the clouds but in the game the stars were fade and blurred, didnt matter what resolution the textures had. Thats why the orig FL backgrounds are separated into star cmps and cloud cmps. Your starsphere appears properly the stars are bright without fading or/and blur, and it seems its just only one file.
Its not clear to me yet this is about because you use an other engine, and you can make proper skybox by using this unity3d as a result of good appearance of the backgrounds in the game, or you make a skybox converting into ms3d and from there into cmp.

So, this is my question.

Screen from latest test:

haha this is really cool. these seem to be popping up everywhere..why didn't anyone give this a go when i was modding a few years ago! ahhh..

your game is looking great! i am using unity as well but i think i will steer away from freelancer a little bit. i was planning to replicate freelancer as well and then tack on new features, but i played freelancer for years, i know it like the back of my hand, and i have a good idea of what i think works well and what could be added, so i am going to build a new game from the ground up incorporating those features..

anyway, best of luck to you and your team!

wow really? it was literally like 5th thread down from the top, i didnt even bother checking dates thats unfortunate..so the projects dead? any word from them?
