So they could totally do this in like 5 minutes/days? And instead have chosen to torment you and other over the years. Got it.

I was wondering whats the problem with Ship Paint, even corp/alliances logos, premade paints/logos? And why they havent implemented that yet.?

Is it a technical issue?
Are they waiting a sucky expansion to fill it in?
Are they dont want Pink ships around? (remove pink and problem solved, just RGB would be fine)
They dont care?

Why????



Also your customization team are very slow. Damn, this game have 10 years and customization greatest achievement is the "new" portrait.
In my opinion and i know im not alone, the customization team is thinking to much in technical features instead of just cosmetics and social interactions.

technical sounding excuses to clueless people like you to extend my deadline in the past. Suckers always bought it too.

I spent 5 years as a 3D modeller at a gaming company building spaceships. The tools I used are different from CCP (CCP uses an in house modeller I have heard) but the functions will be the same. Each texture for a ship will have a bump map layer, a specular layer, a self illumination layer, and a main bitmap layer. For Eve ships... I have not tried exporting one to view 3DS but I would guess that, for Eve, the main bitmap is actually comprised of two maps - one that is black and white and provides all the detail and another that is detailess except for color information. That is how I would have done it, anyways.

That color map is how ship skinning is controlled in Eve. That data would be on EVERY SHIP ALREADY because every ship is, by default, using the default map which will have an identifier variable of its own. The map is stored locally on your hard drive and is called upon already when a ship enters grid with you. Your computer will send that map to your video card based on the variable it receives (which adds no additional data because you would be getting the default version regardless). Your video card does the rendering.

But, sure, go ahead and continue to swallow whatever BS reason you choose to believe. Lord knows I've given plenty of technical sounding excuses to clueless people like you to extend my deadline in the past. Suckers always bought it too.

Correct me if I am wrong here but using this technique would only allow your client to see the ship that way. If you wanted other clients to see your paint job your color map would have to be downloaded by the launcher and placed into your client. So you are either stuck downloading every color map that exists in the game or downloading color maps dynamically as they are needed causing the slowness issues mentioned.

Because we are a bunch of tarrds, most of whom would be flying around in the most garish/offensive/ugly ships simply to troll everyone else.

Let me help you a bit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texturemap

After reading this, you will find links to several other types of maps,
which you may or may not want to read.

It is highly unlikely that they will copy texturemaps around to all clients, (even the textures alone ... insane ...)
from all players that paint their ships somehow to all other players that do or don't.


I rather smell templates.

(i lack a common definition of "paint job". single color, pictures, patterns ?)
(too many possibilities, no actual information)

Because having the sun blotted out by 10000 flesh colored Thoraxs isn't good PR for EVE.
