BlackHole Bob	Posted - 2006.05.10 07:21:00 - [1] Hello Everyone, Since I know many of us are not attending E3, where CCP is doing it up in thier two story booth, I thought maybe I could help bring E3 to us all whom are not attending. So, I downloaded the press release photos of the new graphics engine goodies found in the CCP dev blog diary of E3 and then batched them to convert to .jpg format and then formatted them into a webdriven photo album type presentation. These photos are all property of C.C.P. - we merely batch converted them and web host them for the fans. All photo SHOTS contain there OLD and NEW version for graphic comparision of ship type. I batched them all to 1028 X 764 in .jpg format so anyone can easily deal and use these... Oh the BEST part.... THIS WHOLE SHIP GALLERY CAN BE VIEWED IN GAME WHILE PILOTING THOSE LONG HAULS!!!!

Ixianus	Posted - 2006.05.10 07:48:00 - [7] Am I the only one who thinks the new engine looks like some kind of ORB throwback? Not to be carping or mean, but just looks ugly to me.

Rod Blaine	Posted - 2006.05.10 07:50:00 - [9] I like some, but others are singularly uninspiring. That scorp looks like a damn toy, not a battleship. What's up witht he cartoonish atmosphere CCP ? Is that like an E3 marketing trick or what ? Power to the players !

Not to be carping or mean, but just looks ugly to me. If I am correct in my EvE brain... The original philosophy behind the ship models overall looks, in the way back time machine when they first made the first original modals, was to look dark and ancient - maybe this is what your seeing?...I am no graphics expert by far...so I wouldn't know high end leet graphic stuff if it hit me in the head....

Hohenheim OfLight	Posted - 2006.05.10 07:55:00 - [11] God they look very diffrent, thats all i can say, just very very diffrent... ----------------------------------------------
Toros Revoke	Posted - 2006.05.10 07:58:00 - [12] Edited by: Toros Revoke on 10/05/2006 08:00:31 I prefer the concept of the Abaddon, the 'beak' seems too overstated on the finished model. Though I did also wet myself with glee, specialy the Thron drools There is a fine line between Genius and Insanity. Make sure you take your shoes off before you cross it.
Ixianus	Posted - 2006.05.10 07:58:00 - [13] Edited by: Ixianus on 10/05/2006 07:59:17 It doesnt look ancient, it makes Eve feel/look cartoony in the same way that StarCraft Ghost makes the StarCraft universe feel/look cartoony. It seems a departure from the more serious nature of artwork in Eve, not that I doubt such can be accomplished with the new engine. The whole overhaul looks WoW-ish and to me this just isnt a good thing.

Malus NalJa'ka	Posted - 2006.05.10 08:02:00 - [15] ok, I haven't really been following the kali news, so could someone tell me if these new models will require new graph cards ( vista thing or whatever ) or not? ---------------------------------------------------- New sig progress
Siada Khorgan	Posted - 2006.05.10 08:11:00 - [16] I kind of liked them. Except for the apocalypse that just looks a lot cooler the way it is now.
Kastar	Posted - 2006.05.10 08:32:00 - [17] I have very mixed feelings... The Abaddon looks amazingly fresh, look and feel "feel" good. for other ships such as the new apoc or Scorpion... I don't know. Best way to describe it is that I have the impression that it's time to decommission them, to be replaced by newer models. Especially the Apocalypse doesn't seem to have it's place anymore in the gallery between the megathron or the raven and so on. Then again, it always was ugly ------------------------------------------------ -IM- recruits for an adventureous experience...

Rodj Blake	Posted - 2006.05.10 08:57:00 - [21] Well, at least we know what the tier 3 Ammarrian BS will be called... I quite like both the Abaddon and the new Apoc Dulce et decorum est, pro imperator mori
GlimmerMan	Posted - 2006.05.10 09:44:00 - [22] The 'scaffold' on the new Apoc looks stupidly huge! Is someone taking the p*ss? I don't really like the feel of the new Amarr models. The olds ones were a mix of a lighter hull areas in a 'cell' pattern, with the odd bit of gold here and there, these things are one colour from start to finish, they lack flair and finesse, they look boring. Something about them just feels wrong, maybe it's the shade of gold they're using, I dunno? I can only hope the Navy Apoc is more Silvery, in line with the current One.
robacz	Posted - 2006.05.10 09:48:00 - [23] Really cool looks like nvidia is gonna have some extra sales. ___________ Buying/selling Implants, Cargo Expanders
fairimear	Posted - 2006.05.10 09:52:00 - [24] new apoc sux tbh. yeah great new armor on it but the lack of light around the joints and under the nose really make it look like a plastic model. on that note the lack of ANY distress in the armor does not help.
Greme	Posted - 2006.05.10 09:54:00 - [25] There is definitely something about that scorpion that makes it look the size of a plate instead of able to hold a thousand people or whatever, perhaps the lighting is too diffuse or something?
Antisocial Butterfly	Posted - 2006.05.10 09:56:00 - [26] I quite like some of the new models... especially the Megathron, that just looks ebil now. The new Apoc doesn't look all that great to me though, as someone said, scaffold is freaking huge... Makes it more ugly than it was already
Nanobotter Mk2	Posted - 2006.05.10 09:59:00 - [27] Hrmm honestly I saw very little improvements. I was expecting alot better detail. If that is how minor most of the changes are gonna be, I think CCCP is wasting thier time redoing all the ships for such a meager improvement. Just look at the megathron nothing much different very little detail on the texture. Maybe it was the format of the pics but again overall they looked insignificantly altered for the amount of work it seems like CCP is putting in. they would have been better off instead improving the other visuals like weapons effects and ambiant scenery IMHO, plus the sound :P
Xrak	Posted - 2006.05.10 10:00:00 - [28] Erm if the new megathrone is that dark, what are the vindicator and navy issue gonna be like?
The Wizz117	Posted - 2006.05.10 10:04:00 - [29] i dont think they just changed the ships and the difrence is not becouse of a new engine. and they realy ****** up my scorp
schurem	Posted - 2006.05.10 10:04:00 - [30] the new scorp looks like heavy fracking metal and i think i like it really looking forward what the new phoon is gonna look like <<<< No Boundaries, No Fences, Fly Free Or Die Trying >>>> Typhoon for the win. Nastier than whats faster, faster than whats nastier!
Uther Doull	Posted - 2006.05.10 10:05:00 - [31] Edited by: Uther Doull on 10/05/2006 10:09:22 i don't like whiners, but here goes: tbh i don't like most of the redesigned ships... for example one of my favourites, the apoc (or any other amarr ship for that matter), just looks... wrong... i don't like the hard lines and deep grooves, and the little lights are harder to see, and the stuff sticking out at the end looks even worse than the 2d sprites we have now (and they are way to long too). plus the gold of the amarr armor is the wrong color. it's the same with the scorpion, the smooth hull is replace by an ugly ridged hull with a depressing colour. basically i guess my main problem with the new models is how they throw the smooth look of most ships out of the window and replace em with hard, harsh lines and grooves :( edit: they all look way to plastic too, that's what's wrong with them i guess if the option is there i'll be playing with the old models on...
keepiru	Posted - 2006.05.10 10:13:00 - [32] You guys should all read tha part where hammer says "these are a work in progress" over 1 or 30 times... and then read his post in the sticky where he says modifications to the models are being made even while theyre all @ e3... 30 times as well. neway, personally i like the new models. ---------------- teqNo > I don't read eve-o forums, they bore me
Joerd Toastius	Posted - 2006.05.10 10:17:00 - [33] It's also worth noting that it's quite possible that moving more of the rendering onto the GPU may actually make the game less laggy. Currently way too much is done on the CPU which is what's choking everything up.
Uther Doull	Posted - 2006.05.10 10:41:00 - [34] Originally by: keepiru You guys should all read tha part where hammer says "these are a work in progress" over 1 or 30 times... and then read his post in the sticky where he says modifications to the models are being made even while theyre all @ e3... 30 times as well. all the more reason to point this stuff out now, while there still is a slight chance that it will be taken into consideration
Xerxes X	Posted - 2006.05.10 10:55:00 - [35] I agree with Uther and GlimmerMan. The Scorp's slabs of capitalistic strength have been replace and broken up with vents and ridges. All that was needed with the Scorp was an improved texture map and the Trinity lighting effects. The antennas on the Apoc are too long, and as GlimmerMan said, they detract from the scale of the ship. The Abaddon looks great though, but the concept art looks even better Xerxes X
Joshua Foiritain	Posted - 2006.05.10 11:10:00 - [36] Edited by: Joshua Foiritain on 10/05/2006 11:10:58 The mega and apoc lost a lot of details, for the apoc a lot of the lighter lines across the hull are gone. For the mega the patterns on the front are gone and replaced by holes... (wtf?) Me no likey and since the mega is my primary ship ill prolly stick with the old graphics. The abbadon, scorp, impairor and executioner are HOT stuff though ------- [Coreli Corporation Mainframe]

Ben Hump	Posted - 2006.05.10 11:42:00 - [38] i would like o see how the tier 3 minmatar bs looks like in space because on paper its no vagabond May contain traces of irony "Yes Mister Tristan"
Stogee	Posted - 2006.05.10 11:59:00 - [39] Edited by: Stogee on 10/05/2006 11:59:10 I have to say I really like all of them :) The mega looks meaner than ever before.
Tana Pleiades	Posted - 2006.05.10 12:43:00 - [40] I actually think the apoc looks better in the old pics than the new. i like the mega that looks awesome. But thats cos its darker. I think the new skins need to be less "shiny". Try to preserve that dark and stylised look and feel please.
Roupeh Natanoj	Posted - 2006.05.10 13:13:00 - [41] You can't base your opinion that 'it looks too cartoony' on ONE FRICKEING SHIP (scorp). Look at the megathron. It looks like sex. <><><>
Michiyo Daishi	Posted - 2006.05.10 13:16:00 - [42] . . . cant stop laughing at how the playerbase at large mostly start screaming "NO ITS WRONG OMFG!" at the screenies. I mean, jeez CMON, dont you people get it that NOT EVERYONE can be satisfied? Best CCP can do is make em look as best as possible to as many eyes as possible.

Sovy Kurosei	Posted - 2006.05.10 13:22:00 - [43] I like the new Scorpion though although the Megathron is too dark. Wonder what the Vindicator would look like now. ___________________
pyr8t	Posted - 2006.05.10 13:39:00 - [44] What? No minmatar ships represented? ....shafted again... I'm dieing to know what they're going to do with the Typhoon (lets face it, the ship that's in the biggest need of a make-over)! Anyway, the new mega is a solid improvement.... it's serious looking now. I like that's it's darker... its moody now, what it was meant to be. The Scorpion actually looked better in the original model, I think. I can't place exactly what it is that ruined it... The new AMMAR battleship model looks sweet. However, the other new AMMAR battleship models appear...underwhelming.
Crusari	Posted - 2006.05.10 13:41:00 - [45] Megathron looks like pure evil I like it!
Firequill	Posted - 2006.05.10 13:55:00 - [46] O my sweet mother of nut butter ! cant help but wonder if the dominix will actually be looking like a ship after the changes, instead of the cow-pie of today
Jacobz	Posted - 2006.05.10 13:56:00 - [47] Those are ships made of metal. No more washed-out virtual wannabees. I totally embraces the new design. Kudos CCP. They wowed me completely. And BTW. Those are the new DX9 models not the DX10 ones I think.
Thesiuss	Posted - 2006.05.10 14:13:00 - [48] I like the new models for the most part, and I'm sure CCP will make adjustments where needed on them but over all very nice work. Meg 4TW! Oberon Inc Website--------------Oberon Sales Page
Flyyn	Posted - 2006.05.10 14:54:00 - [49] Sweet ships...but nothing but eye candy. Some times I think CCP likes the pretties better the function. Also I like the new look of the guns on the ship, but would like to see missle bays. Apoc looks more like a unfinised ship... scorpion looks like a tinker toy and the megathron looks like it should be a life form. Dont mind me I am just trying to catch up to DS and HK on the boards....

pyr8t	Posted - 2006.05.10 16:29:00 - [51] Anyone else notice, that all of the ship lights on all the ships are white lights now? The best example I can think of is that the mega used to have green ship lights.... now they are all white.

Noriath	Posted - 2006.05.10 17:03:00 - [54] Am I completly off here, or are those new textures, not new models? Also I wonder why those antena on the apoc look worse then before, is the texture for those not finished yet on the picture? The new battleship looks sweet. I like the new scorpion acctually, the old ones texture looked like it was made from legos or something.
Rawthorm	Posted - 2006.05.10 17:08:00 - [55] I'll hold my judgement for now as they are still a work in progress, just hope they dont make the ships too dark and jagged. I just really hope they re-do turrets now.
GoGo Yubari	Posted - 2006.05.10 17:26:00 - [56] I like them overall as an improvement. There is something funny going on with the lighting, though. As others have noted, they're basically a wee bit too dark overall, with too much contrast with the shiny parts.
Billy Sastard	Posted - 2006.05.10 18:24:00 - [57] Is is amazing what a little bump-mapping and specular highlighting can do to change a model. >>-------------------------<< I am Billy, ph33r my lasers of d00m!
Caldorous	Posted - 2006.05.10 19:26:00 - [58] Originally by: Chribba I wet myself when I downloaded the archives yesterday :) They look really sweet, now just hope they make the capital miner good looking too capital miner? there is planned the release of more mining ships? i thought that the only ships that were going to be released were the tier 2 bc and tier 3 bs They could also improve the textures of some ships, like give the megathron or the apoc, the quality of the textures of a brutix of nowadays... -----------------------------
roBurky	Posted - 2006.05.10 20:12:00 - [59] I really really don't like that new executioner. It seems to have lost all of its character. It's changed from looking mechanical and light to looking very flat and plain and heavy. The pale rough-looking plates with golden trim have been replaced with slabs of golden plastic on the Amarr ships. I don't like it at all. ---

There is something funny going on with the lighting, though. As others have noted, they're basically a wee bit too dark overall, with too much contrast with the shiny parts. It's a style thing. It's particularly obvious in Far Cry and Doom 3 (both of which were considered beautiful when they came out). Half Life 2 set out to replace this style with a realistic look. Quote: I really really don't like that new executioner. It seems to have lost all of its character. It's changed from looking mechanical and light to looking very flat and plain and heavy.

Dollas	Posted - 2006.05.11 00:51:00 - [64] Gosh people are so rude... The good people at ccp spend a great deal of time designing these wonderful models, yet people come on the forums without any thought and insult some of the models. Your not going to please everyone. If they changed a ship or got rid of it just because a few people dislike it, then there would be no ships at all in the game. Atleast some people were thoughtful and polite about it. Anyway Nice job ccp, all the new models look wonderful. They all look much better than the old models(sheesh better graphics and still people complain, people will complain about anything). I do got some quirks with one of them(the apoc), but I'll keep em to myself as it still looks better than the old apoc. Now lets see the new minmatar Battlecruiser.

Suze'Rain	Posted - 2006.05.11 02:13:00 - [66] Originally by: Dollas Gosh people are so rude... The good people at ccp spend a great deal of time designing these wonderful models, yet people come on the forums without any thought and insult some of the models. My personal take on this is, that for some of us 3d modelling is our professional work... when I started paying attention to eve in 2000-2001, the models were amazing - I could'nt beleive that they were ingame ships. when I started as a player, in early 2004, the models were at first passable, until mistakes were noticed. I used to love the ferox: fantastic design... until about 6 months ago, when I noticed two vertex points behind the bridge that have'nt been welded together, leaving a hole in the mesh. this is literally a 10 second job to fix in any 3d package. and seeing it every time is like having an itch I can't scratch. I really can't describe how infuriating it is, because I cannot not notice the faults, once I notice them. I love what CCP have done. I'd kill to be in a position to be in the art department for CCP, as a conceptual visualist, and as a 3d artist using Maya, not Max. But I'm also a professional artist with the discerning eye that that entails - and if that measn saying when some of the work is disappointing, then I will. A lot of the early models are... well... a bit amateurish, is a polite way of saying it. the "new" amarr style, slightly disappoints me. one part of the color scheme of shaders through the alpha mapping for the materials was, particularly in the frigates, I saw a lot of the panels as a matte ivory or vellum, contrasted with the golden bronzes. I'll miss that colourscheme. Of what I've seen, the executioner lacks a certain curve on the inner face of each side that I found so perfectly sexy, but that's just a slight detail. The evolution is, generally, appealing. The Impairor, well, I'd ever thought I'd like the look of a rookie ship that much. the design's still too clunky around the back (I think those thrusters need to be mounted better) but it's cute. Megathron... ooh. dark. very dark. I can see where the design ethos of the later ships has influenced the remodelling. a model so dark, I can't really tell much from statics. Scorpion. I think the upper superstructure of the scorpion looks superb, the lower section, a little disappointing. the texture work, however, has too much reflectivity and edge highlighting that makes the surfaces feel "sticky" in appearance. I'm not convinced by the texture work at all, really. I love the colour scheme for the lights, but it's poorly implemented and lastly, the apoc. I hope that's a WIP. if it's not then god, someone has no subtlety in the structures... it's truly dire work atm, with no form or care in there. shame.

LLeBRing	Posted - 2006.05.11 03:18:00 - [69] Edited by: LLeBRing on 11/05/2006 03:25:34 My personal opinion on the new amarr models is that they are a bit too 'squared' off. Might have taken the armor plate theme a bit too far. I also prefer the little cabin light effects on the old Apoc than the new one. Also why so many sharp edges? The ships seem to have gone through a sharpener. And the glossyness, oh man, I think someone went nuts and dumped these suckers in a bucket of varnish. I think the models are a great leap forward no doubt, especially love the megathron (even though I don't fly it), but to re-iterate what Rod Baine said, some seem a bit 'toonish. but then again, who am I to say :) Nuttin but corn bread en chicken for this fella
Kel Shek	Posted - 2006.05.11 04:30:00 - [70] lol, there is no pleasing some people. ... it really is that simple. looking at it side by side... IMO the new renditions of the scorp, Apoc, and Executioner all looik SPECTACULARLY better. I find it amusing how "graphically higher quality, with more detail, realism, and fresh-ness" looks "cartoony" to some people. I'm curious to see the tech 2 adaptations of that new model/skin... (for the executioner of course I mean) it should be wonderful. ~~~~~ To see a World in a Grain of Sand And Heaven in a Wild Flower Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour ~~William Blake
Eyriana Lakise	Posted - 2006.05.11 07:16:00 - [71] Cartoony? You wanna see cartoony? Look at WoW. CCP has made some nice models that I'm sure they'll tweak more as they refine the graphic of the ships. Cartoony...when you see over exaggerated features resembling saturday morning cartoons then you can cry...
