In the screenshot you can see three different styles.
The black and white one's are mostly the default pics that come with the game, but I have added a few extra to fill in the gaps with the right kind of equipment.
The second colour thumbs are mostly art, or very well made models. There is plenty of pics from the web to populate the list, with the correct kind of equipment. Of course some may have copy writes so would require Panther Games to purchase some if they were going to use it in game.
The third list of thumbs are stylised taken from one of my games. There were not enough thumbs of the correct kind of equipment so I have just filled the gaps with random stuff. They are uniform in design and style, as you would expect from that kind of 3D game. In the encyclopaedia that they come from they even rotate, and hatches open etc.
This kind of artwork looks very professional but would probably require Panther Games to employ a graphics artist, or buy some from another games company?
Anyway which do you prefer?
The black and white as they add flavour to the game?
The colour because they are easier to see the type of equipment, and well....its colour....we stopped taking black and white pictures for a reason right?
Or the professional looking stylised uniform art of a modern graphics artist. baring in mind that these ones don't necessarily depict the style of this game as there for another, so custom ones for this game would probably use different colours, and styles if done properly.
P.S how do you do a poll in this forum?
