- Image Notes:
- This is an improvement over the original Staging shot I
posted last week. It incorporates several fixes with the
older one, including a corrected staging ring, more detail
in the command module and tower, and a better flame effect.
- Journal:
- The Saturn V mesh you see above was originally designed for
just making a cursor for the new theme. It was really only
a set of 24 sided cylinders stacked one atop the other,
with a very simple texture map wrapped around it. As time
went on, I kept adding details to the model, and now it is
(IMHO) a fairly accurate medium poly-count representation
of the real thing. The shot above was origninally intended
to be a low-res start-up screen only, but as the model
gained complexity, it began to look better and better. Now,
I plan for it to be the background for the final
Commander-Saturn V theme.
