November Entry: Monthly Asteroid Party

[Sagenlicht]

Well this is a rather small update, I tried to get the shadows fixed a bit, I am aware of that problem, though I am unsure I will get it better done than in this try. Its better imo

As a second addition I added a spaceship at the bottom. I think adding something there is a nice addition though I am not sure that this spaceship will be the final solution.

@GP
Yes GP, I planned to add a mining colony to the asteroid which of course would solve the landing problem. I am still searching for a minig colony though cause I am not able to render one by myself heh. I really wanna learn blender for those things, cause actually when I did my first battlemap I noticed that I completly lack the possibilties to add objects on my own and have to use items from dundjinni forums and similar places. Sadly I havent found time to start learning it, but by now RR allready started to post stuff about it, so it will be easier for me to start (or at least I hope so). I highly doubt though I will be able to use blender for this challenge though which means I have to find a nice colony I may use for this

About the 3D feel and the shadows. I hope its better now?

@SG
Hmm your google-fu is better than mine then, I cant find such a plug-in

@ravells
Hmm ravells, about the galactic coordinates. Yep I wanted to use those, but lacking any experience with sci-fi I tried about 1 hour to find out how galactic coordinates look like and what they would be for the Alpha Centauri system I went to bed
Actually I hoped the combination by naming Alpha Centauri and giving the asteroid the name 457.3 would be qualifying as a galatic coordinate. Back to google then

Anyways even if its only a small update, did it improve?

Maybe I can whip one out for you, I'll match your lighting and shadow direction creating a central hub and some outlying structures with piping corridors reaching them from the hub, with a landing zone to one side.

I'll see what I can do tonight and post up a transparent PNG file for you tomorrow. Does that help?

Sagenlicht, it just so happens, that I created a space colony map object tonight and posted it in the Map Elements Forum. You know, like the Dundjinni Forums, our own Map Elements Forum is a place you can find things.

You don't have to use it, and if you do you don't have to feel like I created this for you - I just created a map object that's hard to find, that's all!

If you choose to use it, just throw me some REP and we'll call it even!

Thanks alot GP

Feel hit with my rep stick, though I admit I think it will add only one point

I'll try to integrate it for sure

[Sagenlicht]

Ok, I played a bit with your colony GP

What you ya think? Did I resize it too much?
