New Shield Graphic
« on: September 24, 2009, 02:19:17 am »
After a bit of finangling, i've managed to get a cool looking shield effect into AI war. It takes advantage of the "pulsing" to create (in my mind) a really neat effect.

Download from here
You guys are free to use it if you want...

If we weren't going for your money, you wouldn't have gotten as much value for it!

Oh, wait... *causation loop detonates*

Clever using of the pulsing.  Not the visual look we're going for, but very cool as a mod.

We could use some screenshots there.

Its hard to do screenshots because it really only "works" when it's in motion. Try it!

I did ;D

It's pretty neat, but I think it's a bit too undefined at the edges. The original is probably a bit TOO defined, at the other end of the spectrum. Depends on your view of shields ;)
edit: maybe I'll try making one tomorrow for the hell of it. My photoshop skills are pretty mediocre though.

Very cool effect! Might be useful for new effects in the expansion!  ;D
