Core buildpics - are they better now?

[beherith]

They were pretty bland and uniformly shaded to begin with (the buildpic generator does uniform shading, and the levels of brightness on the core atlas are very limited).

I added some vertex AO to them, are they any better now?

[beherith]

want img?

[Bluestone]

In general they look better - I found a couple of issues: (1) a baked blue raindrop appears into the top left corner for water units (it shouldn't be present at all) (2) moho exploiters buildpic is mangled

[Bluestone]

Also, I wonder if the panels that flash could be a little less dark?

[anonymous]

What do you mean, exactly?

The panels that flash = self illumination parts?

The odd thing is, that unit icon generator doesnteven read the texture2 for self-illum info.

Also, since the addition of vertex AO, the core self illuminated bits are significantly darker, for the worse imo. b.

[Bluestone]

Yep, I mean the self illuminated parts e.g. the yellow panels on the side of a corestor.

[beherith]

Oh, it was early morning, a little less dark != darker :P Yeah i prolly need to rethink that bit a little, back to the drawing board

Reopen if they are still not good enough, fixed as much as i can for now.
