I made these over afew days, total working time would have been around the 30 minute mark (collecting images, taking model shots etc).

It was my first real try, and comes in 3 flavours (all 1280x1024 for now, I can make other res' if someone asks for them), any constructive criticism as always is welcome <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Thanks

(ps, my fav. one is the third, so yeah <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    "Wats your flavour, tell me was your flavour"

    umm mine is 2nd, but still i say it would look better if you had no models in there but have the text "Natura Selection" in front of the logo and have it ns style also, but otherwise it aint bad at all.

    Osmius: Thanks <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I tried out adding the natural selection text, and it didnt look to well, either that or the fonts i was trying didnt really work with the rest of the whole 'theme'

    So i just took out the models in #2, if you really want the text i can add it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> its no problemo.

    WOw nice man that looks sooo good. Can you do me a favour and make it say at the bottom "I am the future"
    And in the centre make it say Osmius?

    PLUs can you make them at 1024x768?
    Cause it looks all stuffed at that high res at 1024x768 plus!........ Make the bottom text a bit higher, so it can be seen over the task bar.

    hmm, I liked the idea with the models (looked sorta good with the marine running)

    however the main problem is that they were not running on/in anything

    if you kept the BG that you maide for Oanother idea however would be to create a 3dish scene with the onos going after the marine ;D

    Would it be possible to get the original image, with the "We are the future" text all in one color, centered at the bottom?
  • TrojanTrojan Join Date: 2002-11-02 Member: 4611Members
    Original as in which one? also, one colour looks rather... stupid <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Maybe just toss up the base #3 at around 1024x768x32 (or higher, if you've got it)? Would let people mod it around. I for one would like to see the glowing blue 'raster line' version on a deep black background. No models, but it'd make a rockin' startup screen. May work on a Command Console BG myself, akin to the System Shock 2 'Xerxes' or 'Tri-Optimum' interfaces.
