Bouncing Ball New Texture

[Hero]

Yes I used polar coordinates and some other tricks.

Sorry, I guess I didn't originally understand what you meant. And yes it is EASY to fix. Sorry again.

Amazing !

[Auria]

Congratulations, it looks much better now!

Now please understand that this will not go in 0.8, because the strings are now frozen and they say "rubber ball". Once the dust has settled a bit for the 0.8 release we can look again at new possible changes You could also check if it can be mapped correctly on a sphere that does not use too many polygons

It's good, better than that purple ball in the game. I like it without any text.

[Ludsky]

It's Better than old texture of you but for me it's not good for STK
Bowling ball is best !

Bowling ball is best !

Ludksy... how many times do you need this explaining to you... bowling balls DO NOT BOUNCE.

Tenis Ball Bounce !

Basket Ball, the color is ugly !

[Hero]

I agree, tennis balls bounce.

Unfortunately unless everyone else wants a tennis ball and someone (maybe me) can make it, I doubt it will happen.

Yes, many of the textures in STK are better than this. And Unirail (my brother) has often compared it to an orange golf-ball that two-year-old drew on. But if it's fine with everyone else then... it's fine with everyone else!

Wait other answer.....

PS : I send a E-Mail for you.

Yes, you could say he was the brain and I was the hand.

And I had the original idea lol (It's nice to see that things take form !)

Are you serious ? We know bowling ball is good but you said that many times...

[BioHazardX]

I said basketball is better for the game. And a tennis ball is too small for the model, but do you want to really see a giant bouncing tennisball?

[samuncle]

Hero I think you are in the right direction
Like Auria said, can you put a screenshoot with the texture mapped on a sphere ? It's easiest for us to see if it will look good.

Also don't forget to avoid the aliasing effect on the black lines, you can use vectorial drawing instead.

[Ludsky]

Tennis ball is good also.



But we prefer tennis ball. Then, perhaps basket ball more darker, i think...

[samuncle]

Just to show you if I use your texture and bump mapping it looks very good. I have a glitch on the top and the bottom of the ball

[Hero]

I remember the glitch. Unfortunately it's that glitch or a dairyqueen (TM) swirl there. I had to scale it in. But maybe I can do it another bit and the glitch will be unnoticeable. Of course if you could FIX that I would greatly appreciate it.

About anti-(what) that can be fixed easily. Will bring it here soon.

Ludsky: Oh so you want darker! Okay, will try separately.

Thanks,
Hero

The problem of the original bouncing ball --> too dark

[Hero]

Okay, here we are.

Just a note. I took two of the three shots in GIMP. In Blender there's that feature and we all know what it does. So the one with the blur on it is in Blender. It DOESN'T look like that in the game.

With a lot of the anti-aliasing (if I know what it means; blur right?) removed.

With a lot of the anti-aliasing (if I know what it means; blur right?) removed and the ball darkened to look closer to Ludsky's.

More Dark it's best for me ^^

[Auria]

Thanks, I think this is much better than our current ball! I will add it to the game, congratulations

(still please note it won't go in 0.8, this will be for the version after that, due to the freeze).

Can you confirm that you release the texture under which license, CC-BY-SA 3.0 possibly?

[Hero]

Thanks, I think this is much better than our current ball! I will add it to the game, congratulations

I would like to release under CC-BY but I can give it to you under:

CC-BY 3.0
CC-BY-SA 3.0
CC0

I don't really care. Just as long as it's in. Preferably one that gives credit (CC-BY 3.0 or CC-BY-SA 3.0).

Thanks,
Hero

To auria:

I made a sound for this page 6 (that come from a real basket ball )
Few questions:
Do you me to make a new icon ?
Or...
Do you want the icon to be a screenshot of the ball ?

[Hero]

I think it would be best if YOU made another icon... but it's not my choice.
