its been like 6 years since I last came here. Last time I was here, shinra online background was all pure light with the white building of shinra online as the banner. Now the background looks more like the Ruins of Midgar
Haha, that's not a bad comparison. Actually this was the first background the site ever had. We just moved boards and one of our admins Jimmy thought it'd be amusing to have the very first background we ever had back up again. ANYWAY Welcome back! What's news?
This style is called greebles, not the name of the page style but the design. I have plugins for all my 3d programs to make greebles on any surface. When they did the animation work in the star wars movies it was the same technique used to add surface features to the Death Star. You can control all the appearance parameters of a greeble and make an object very realistic with the right textures. Now there is city kit for cinema 4d that works with the same principals and you build cityscapes, not like the proceedural program CityEngine which you can control all aspects of a city building, the streets scenery etc. Everything is now going to procedural scripts and just changing inputs and connections you get cities, textures and god knows what else, no dates or good looking women yet but the future looks bright.
Welcome back to the site you lost your soul to all these years ago. Just dont think you can come here and get it back!! Have fuuuuuuuuuuun
I think I was around during the time you were too 6 years back. Lot has changed since then! Welcome back!
