New Videao: XWA 1999 vs. 2020

Image
Our very own DTM has put together a fantastic video showcasing the phenomenal evolution of XWA since its release in 1999. The footage you see is 100% authentic, unedited ingame magic and one of the reasons, why we still keep at it after all this time.  Enjoy!  

Workbench Spotlight: VSD-HD Remake

Phew! That was a treat. Finally completed properly mapping all the tiny bits of the trench details from front to back. Now to put the same amout of work into the superstructure ... yay -_- Also remodeled some hangar bay details and finally got around to remodel the so far low-detail tractor beam projectors, which were placeholders, left over from Matt's never released ISD2. Meanwhile work on the actual textures continues and they're starting to look way less blank as I progress. But wait, there's more!  First go on the new VSD-2 OK, here we go! Let's start by taking the VSD1 wings, moving them a bit further inward to make the trench inbetween a bit wider. Next I took some more time to make some serious changes to the new closed wings. I've moved away from the ribbed look which they had on the VSD1 and made them look as being actual protrusions from the hull, adding some greeblies etc. Also changed the engine layout from 2/2 to 3/4. Now to rework the housing...
