Help on site name

[Exan]

Thanks Deadzone. I'll edit the TPM page and change the date.

And...I would very much like to have a banner for the Starfury Haven site. I already have a cool banner made by DeadZone in the Alexandria Archives section.

This is the large versions of the small banners I made for the Malfador Fan Site links..



BTW You are in no way obligated to use these, and It is not my intent to step on anyone's toes. The current banners on your new site are more than good enough.

Cheers!

And this is the 'other' one...



Cheers!

Thanks a bunch. They are just exellent. I use the first one in Starfury Haven but I think I keep the old Alexandria Archives banner as it has the San Francisco starbase from the mod. Both of those banners are far better than anyones I could do.

Thanks again. Most appreciated.

ok, and fyi I sent Aaron the updated links info and files. It should be online in the comming week.

Cheers!

Edit: FYI The MM Site Links have been updated.

DEG, curious, how did you do those planets?

[David E. Gervais]

Hello,

To Make the planets I use a set of PSP Plugins from www.flamingpear.com (LunarCell, SolarCell and Glitteretto.)

The LunarCell plugin is the one for making planets. It also has the ability to save a PSD layer map which is esentially the same thing as a texturemap of the planet. So I have also used it to create planet textures for SE5.

Cheers!

DEG, Do you happen to have an Earth like planet texture I could use in the TPM for the Dragon Federation homeworld Dragonis?

I myself use Planetgen or Terragen to do the planet textures. With Terragen it takes forever to make a good planet texture. And you still have to add clouds with Photoshop since Terragen is meant to render images from near the surface. (great for landscape pics). And planetgen generaters planet maps but they don't look very good.

[DeadZone]

Ok, you use the same thing as me David

Though, this one and this one were made using a different technique

[David E. Gervais]

Exan, What size texture do you want? 256x256? 512x512? please specify your needs.

DeadZone,.. nice planets. I also like to make high-rez planet texture maps then map them to a sphere in Bryce and then play with adding slightly larger semi-transparent spheres with various cloud/nebula type textures. There are many ways to make planets and it's always fun to see how things turn out using different techniques.

Cheers!
