Hello everyone. Thank you for the kind words
.
@Haruna: I am glad you like the model, it would be very nice to have an experienced 2D artist as you are. I am certain that with a few guys who know how to create nice car/track models and a few other good Gimp/photoshop/AI/Inkscape artists SD could really become beautiful. As much as I know for the moment I am the only 3D modeler and there's no 2D artist in the team (and to be honest I am not that good at 2D texturing). The road is still long and there is still plenty of perfectionism required, but from what I saw of the new OSG engine there are chances that SD blows a few minds (to be honest I am not even sure Xavier is aware of the massive potential that lies in his OSG engine). SD just needs to be cured from polyphobia and texturephobia and a great amount of love
.
Just for info I have some plans to imporve SD's graphics with more eye candy (normalmaps and specmaps and if technically possible dynamic alpha maps for glass) talked to Xavier about this and he is open to it but for the moment the priority is to get OSG release ready.
By the way, if there are any 2D or 3D artists interested in joining the team, you can PM me or directly contact Xavier via jabber or e-mail.
Have a nice day.
