Guest Der Unbekannte Jäger Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 I have a quick favor to ask you folks, which of the two images would you prefer for night overcast skies? A) Or And yes I know that the skies don't always get to be seen etc etc etc, so don't bother with that. I just want to know what the general preference is of these two? ------------------ "The world is wide, and I will not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into momentum."

jshandorf Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Okay.. For the cool loof factor you have to go with 2, but for the realism factor you have to go with 1. So I am stumped. 2 looks like it is an hour or so past sunset where the sky is still that hazy grey. Wht you could do is limit it to a portion of the sky that so that it looks like the full moon is out behind the clouds illuminating the back drop.

Guest 33%God Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Number two is what I need!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasoncawley@ameritech.net Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 A. I want to be able to focus on the actions, and the way A fades out feels more correct to me. B jumps out at me like a painting in a museum - it demands attention and focus, and that doesn't not feel right for the feeling created by night overcast skies. One man's opinion...

Guest 33%God Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Did you make that bmp. Cuz if ya did I hafto ask you for it. That is some nice work. I like drama in my game. I do recall seing that kind of sky before. But maybe they didn't have that kind of sky in 1944. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aka PanzerLeader Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Yeah, I'd have to go with no1 for realism's sake. Number 2 is way too clear, although it is very well done and would do for a "just past sunset" scenario like Jeff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420 Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 #2 looks great... why not release both and let the individuals choose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr. Johnson-<THC>- Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Number 2 ROCKS!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quenaelin Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 A) claudy rainy night, its so dark that you cannot see about nothing. rain is just clearing out, or at sunset or dawn, where you can see things pretty much clearer. I like A better, becouse B is maybe just momentary wheather change. But that would be cool feature in CM if wheather could be changing during the game, so it is clear sky in first but it suddenly starts raining and sky is covered with clouds.

These pictures clearly show a much earlier version (Mk V?), easily identified by the lighter shade of feld grau used in the cloud cover. Amateurs...

Guest Michael emrys Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 I like B better. It looks more like the skies I'm familiar with. A bit of moonlight for ops. But like someone suggested, why not release both and let each choose his own preference. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhammer Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Keep #2 handy for the Norweigan/Finland/Karelia scenarios. It looks almost like the aurora borlealis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Der Unbekannte Jäger Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 Okay thanks all for your responses. And I do believe that Mr.420 has a good idea. There will be three (count 'em 3) overcast night skies to choose from. Mind you this will bump the file size up about a 1-2mb. =) (I will see about maybe splitting up the archive so people with slower modems can still grab the whole thing without too much trouble.) Thanks all for the input and you gave me some new ideas too.... but I will try and get the last touches on it, and release it before monday. ------------------ "The world is wide, and I will not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into momentum."
