Hurricane Shoulder Lamp, Motion Tracker, etc. Thread

[pjam]

This display is pretty tiny -- smaller than your pinky nail -- so I wouldn't want to get it cluttered up too much.

My humble recommendation: 2 rings lower on the display, and some alien "groupings" up top.

That works for me and Hudson. Thanks WG!

Can you do that for me Glenn?

 

[Reinhardt]

yeah, same for me too please?!

Wor-Gar has shown us the way.

"Signals" meaning the sonar pings... or the alien blips???

I'd be interested in getting some "blips" of groupings of aliens approaching. Is that possible?

by signals,i meant the 'blips' of approaching aliens.....

 

[dekadentdave]

Well crap! By that do you guys want the "Big F'n Signal" with about 50 blips as they approach Medlab or just one or two as they search the complex? The BFS may be too much. I'd almost trust Cane to use his best judgment here what he thinks would work the best.

agreed dave.

agreed dave.

Yeah, I'm good with 3 signals/groupings up to Glenn. I will leave it to you to decide what to do.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I still think a couple small groupings will show up better than a huge mass-attack blob that will get lost at that scale.

Best to see what Hurricane comes up with as an example and then decide. At this size, it must be really tricky not to clutter the frame.

 

[pjam]

Yes, what's most important is the actual tracker display screen with rings bleeping... that clearly defines the tracker. The signals or clusters should be a few to keep the display screen "open". Otherwise you have blobs with lines across. What we/I want is a couple to three signal clusters across the top 1/3 of the display.

I know I know, said it before, hogging the thread. But I just tested a lighter with a light function feature with my Marines. I pointed this light which is very similar in size and brightness to the lamp lights between them, around them, onto the Warrior, etc. and seriously this display at night WILL look so mesmerizing, just like an Aliens SL3 live still set shot. It will be amazing to see these guys with lamps lit at night all 'Caned up.

And just to think, it will become a reality so soon.

the prototype tracker screen ahd two small groups of 'blips' towrads the top of its screen,maybe hard to see on the wee movie back along...

Looks amazing. I want mine just like this proto Glenn but with 3 signals or groupings staggered a bit above the top ring curve.

but again, I'll leave it to you Mate.
