Tiger Posted March 24, 2001 Author Share Posted March 24, 2001 Doug, I can try to do a full set. It'll take a little bit though bryce makes it very easy (and fun!) .

Tiger Posted March 25, 2001 Author Share Posted March 25, 2001 I've finished all the 1024 x 256 sky bmps. Not sure what the small ones are for (low-end users?) bmps 1400-1414 come to around 3.5 megs total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted March 25, 2001 Share Posted March 25, 2001 Very nice indeed, Tiger! Bravo! You may send me these files along with everything else on your hard drive, in nicely sorted zip files. Tomorrow would be nice. Oh yes, my ISP will not accept files larger than 50K so you must break them down to a suitable size. Not too much to ask, eh?

aka_tom_w Posted March 25, 2001 Share Posted March 25, 2001 COOL The Secret is Bryce 3D That software makes the most amazing scenary and skies and landforms. I hope we might see more Bryce landforms like cliff textures in CM2. This software (Bryce, orinally from Metacreations, {now Corel, who don't have a clue how to upgrade it} is available for both Mac and PC) is like a game all on its own when it comes to making eye candy for scenary. VERY nice work Tiger those skies are JUST what CMBO needs! Very proffesional! -tom w [This message has been edited by aka_tom_w (edited 03-25-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Posted March 25, 2001 Author Share Posted March 25, 2001 No, I doubt it. Thanks though. One thing I hope they improve for CM2 (the east front) is to remove the auto-convert to 8-bit for sky textures. here's what the skies could look like instead if the program wasn't converting them to 8-bit textures: I wonder if this was done to reduce the processor hit? -Tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURE would be nice for CM2 Though! Hint hint Thanks for posting the FULL colour one above that's how it "should" look I assume in 16 bit colout (thousands). -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porajkl Posted March 26, 2001 Share Posted March 26, 2001 Excellent work, Tiger! I downloaded them immediatelly, but it seems I cannot see them in game... I still see those old skies What can I do? I have 16MB videocard and playing at 1024*768. I tried different resolutions (800*600, 1152*768 and 1280*1024) but to no effect. Seems that my game always uses textures 1430-1444. What can I do? Thanks for help. Porajkl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd Posted March 26, 2001 Share Posted March 26, 2001 same problem here..they are loqaded but mu iMac DVD sems to be defaulting to the old...or is there some other factor such as time of scenario at work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted March 26, 2001 Share Posted March 26, 2001 Porajkl and jd, Are you sure you installed them? The initial zip file contained three separate zips. Did you just unzip the initial zip file into your graphics folder? If so, then that's why. Tiger has made a new sky for every possible season and sky condition. So there should be a new sky for any scenario. ------------------ For your dream car click here. For a Close Encounter click here. Hey look! I can see my house!

Tiger Posted March 26, 2001 Author Share Posted March 26, 2001 I've started work (uhgg) on the other smaller bmps though it'll probably take a couple of days. I'm kind of "skyed-out" right now. -Tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
