The ai Frontier - My ups and downs

@tundra:
No, has nothing to do with religion. Just plainly doesn't look as good as what one could create otherwise. Besides, it's more to the likes of a crosshair of a rifle than a cross of religion.

A texture update? Comments?

Ooh that looks great!

A small update. Now I will start with the actual points and create colors for them and the rings. Adding glow as well I believe:

Looks beautiful!!

Ok, here comes an update. I've added blood on the platform, animated the logo to spin and also hover a bit up and down. The rings are also hovering up and down. Now I've removed the default fullbright as I don't want the platform to have it, I'll be adding it to the rings and the logo only in a shader instead.
No normal maps or glows are applied yet, these images are just WIPs, nothing finished yet. Just to keep you updated on the progress.

Somehow the DOM points look weird on these screenshots, as if they wouldn't fit in ... they somehow look as if they were photoshopped into the screenshot. Also, the tines coming out of the base of the DOM point make this impression even stronger.

I suppose we'll just have to wait and see how it looks when it's all complete Remember that I still do not have fullbright on them which might help out.

imo, I think they actually look more natural than the regular dom points in those shots. It seems less like they're just dropped in the map as an afterthought than the current ones do.
