I love the work you're doing. I noticed that the Shrimps you used to show off bumpmapping didn't have that white rim around them. My humble opinion is that they look MUCH better without the white rim.

I'm no artist or anything, but my impression is that the white rim makes the ships, planets, etc. look like they were cut out of a white background and pasted there with some of the background still stuck to them.

I remember how impressed I was with the shrimp in that first teaser video on Youtube, and the bumpmapped one on this update looks a whole generation ahead of that one even. Amazing.

I love C2 can't wait!! , When will this log be updated or addon ?

Its updated every time BS does work, as you can see on there.

Imo the shrimp and the levi look the best. On the previous thread which displayed some c2 art I liked the seraphs. They look really Angelic.

seraphs? where

Can you give us his phone number or his email or any way to contact him and torture him for not working faster and taking a week long break ?

Its on page 2 of the dev notes forum n a thread called "C2 Preiveiw Art" iirc.

I haven't posted on the blog recently but there are some more recent screenshots in the C2 screenshots thread.

The reason is that I am re-thinking the blog-wiki idea, I may move it all to a forum thread so it's more organised, and more importantly, the stupid wiki keeps upsizing my screenshots X2 and making them look horrible.

Ok I just went ahead and created another thread for it: http://www.starsonata.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=32706&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

I'll post an update today but the stuff I've been working on isn't too fascinating, I may just take a few more screenshots of the bump mapping.

Screen shots of Space Rats!

I was just curious; in c1 some planets seem to have clouds painted on them. Is there any chance of C2 planets getting a 3D atmosphere around them? Maybe even one that would correspond to their atmosphere type and change when terraforming projects are done? Like I said, just curious.

They do have atmospheres on them. They haven't been detailed yet, but its in the plan.
