New menu backgrounds

Had a little to much free time 
I choose the mars like planet texture because it resembles the arizona tileset best. But in the end it doesn't look very realistic and doesn't really fit the images theme. Feedback welcome !!!

[Coincident]

it looks pretty cool.


maybe a few stars in the sky would help

Really cool!
Has a bit of plastic look, but still cool. (Can that easily be "fixed"?)
And what's the text in front of "WRP"?

To make the stars more visible, maybe less, but brighter would help?

I'd like to replace 00-bdrop.png with this one, if you can make me a 512x512 (or 1024x1024) version. Keep the viewport, just renderer it to a quadratic power-of-two resolution.

thx for the feedback

Add texture to the thing (scaffolding?) on the right of the satellite and grit the textures in general (add noise in Gimp or PS).

Looks nice, however the "Nasda" text looks our of place.
Nexus or something from wz fits better I think.

[mongoose]

Actually NASDA was the organisation in WZ that launched the satellite network before the collapse.

Very Good =) modeling. I think wider sunlight planes will be better & texture planet > in origial it was Earth

In the original it was actually earth getting nuked. Unless someone has a high res texture of a nuked earth surface, i'm not going to do that. i could try regular earth. I'll see if i can find a texture.

The image is basen on the original backdrop 00. So if i enlarge the panels, they will take up a big portion of the screen, making the current p.o.v. look really bad.

[Kamaze]

Yes looks cool. And here again: How it the artwork licensed?

[Hatsjoe]

Here's a revised image:

mars has been replaced by earth
some effects added
tweaked some lighting
added more detail to textures

the second image is basically the same one except in lossless png and 1/1 aspect ratio. This one can be used directly in wz as menu background. wz will stretch it back to it's original 4/3 aspect Have fun

and for the license information, i have no idea about how to distribute it legally but anyone can use it for whatever he/she wants. If more is needed, i m gonna need some help

[Kayiaxo]

It's looking a lot nicer already
