God do I hate straight lines near each other. 8x AA is no match for this. I bet SuperSampling would help but it would also help cripple my performance.

Look great close.



Step away a small distance and complete poop on a stick

beautiful i cant wait to use these in photo ops.

[styckx]

Thanks. I'll pack them up tomorrow. Short day of work. I have a raging headache right now and just going to relax.

[SithMurcielago]

Take it easy.

I might try fuzzing the bumpmap a bit, might help some.

:o .. 11MB bumpmap

The ribs don't bother me. I actually expected that.. I was more talking about the two red stripes above the blue. They start blending into each other and getting all jiggy wit it (nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah )

[styckx]

Whata think, Ph 1 while I'm doing these? It's a god awful livery though.

Was this another b livery? I know phase I featured the pointless arrow only on one end, then there was this pictured livery which looks like a derivative (or vice versa) of phase 1 with dual pointless arrows. I can't find any information about these with pointless arrows on each end.

[SithMurcielago]

i always hated that livery and that era. What about the Short lived Acela Scheme?

[styckx]

Getting there. Looks better than I thought it would. Still fighting this stupid head cold thingy-ma-bob I got going on.. Sorry for the delay, it's not my usual procrastination, just sickly.

[SithMurcielago]

Nice going feel better.

Get to the doctor, or at least a clinic. I was fighting what I thought was just a real bad cold, no fever or the "runs" turned out to be bronchitis. Antibiotics kicked it right out but I waited 4 weeks to go see a doc. Most miserable 4 weeks in a long time for me. Yeah, feel better.

[styckx]

Nah I fight through it.. I'm very old school. Don't take pain meds ever, even when I'm told I should, hate even taking antibiotics or aspirin.. I'm a very natural healing type of person. Will not take medication unless I actually need it.. Right now I don't. I'm feeling better than yesterday though.. A day of work then two off.

I tried going to sleep, couldn't, so did a quick painless PRR steamer ripoff repaint.

I'm the same way. I just don't think the human body was designed to ingest all those chemicals. Plus I hate the idea of making the drug companies fat and sassy off of peoples ailments.

Oh, I agree. But like I said, after 4 weeks of coughing up nasty green stuff, it was time for some help. It was a "Z Pack" of antibiotics, only 6 days worth, and it kicked my butt. You use antibiotics too much, the body gets used to them and they don't work when you really do need them.

The best plus side of all this off topic stuff................ been 6 weeks since I had a cigarette. Guess it was time to quit anyways. $7.50 a pack, sheesh!

...not to mention the nasty side affects from them after prolonged use, like killing all your intestinal flora.

Back in '74 I was in a car wreck and broke my jaw. I got a nasty staph infection in the hospital and ended up on about every known antibiotic there was for about 9 months. It really tore my guts up.
Ended up with my jaw wired shut for about the same amount of time because it wouldn't heal right due to the infection.
