So, what are you working on right now?

[stumpy]

the desk, for modern desks it would be rubber or leather depends on price, leather ones would be more expensive, for antique desks it would be leather, it all depends if rubber sheets exist in tdm world. the rubber would come from rubber tree's, and the leather would come from animals.

Working on a building for a test

Very nice, that looks fun to go and clamber around on.

Ho! That's looking very cool!

[Obsttorte]

Nice start. I've also taken a (rough) look at your homepage. Some nice stuff their, too.

[Bikerdude]

Verticality...

My mission in progress is called Ding Dong Bell (Garretts Down The Well), it was originally a DromEd map and then restarted into NewDark but that exceeded it's limitations too, and so I am now remapping into Dark Mod. It was a four part mission and I reckon each part will take about 8 months to complete...I'll keep you posted as to how it's coming along.

Hello Biker,

 

Is this texture from stock or custom?

 

 

I cannot find it, but maybe it looks differently in DR because of missing lights.

Is this texture from stock or custom?

Its stock, and I think from the Sliptip pack I added to the mode a few years ago.

[JackFarmer]

Noted, I will check. Thanks a lot.

Three pics of my effort so far..

One suggestion--try to avoid perfectly flat sections of wall. Look for things that can jut out, like awnings, shutters, wooden beams, bay windows, etc. It helps add visual interest to the scene, which is especially desirable when the wall is symmetrically balanced.

[Ravenhook]

Yes I have a very tall and boring wall, I have put a large prefab building up against it and the roof of that building is just a fraction higher than the ground surface of the inn at the top of the long flight of steps...now all I have to do is put in some viz portals at the bottom of the steps to hinder the view up which is shuddering when you turn around at the bottom, I am learning the benefits of viz portals which you described in your excellent tutorial..still, this is my first attempt and I'm quite pleased that I have no leaks and any suggestions and criticisms are very welcome.

[Ravenhook]

Okay, is this better..and I have tinkered with the insides so that the player can walk into them from behind (I did turn the whole window and interior into a saved prefab).

Better Pictures...I have created the mother of all fences.....

 

[Ravenhook]

And this one.

[Melan]

Nice going! Those are, indeed, some good fences. (And the machinery is swell, too!)

[Bikerdude]

+1 on what Melan said, but also good cohesive use of models and resources to create a good playable atmosphere!

 

Is that machine using custom textures..?

I can vouch for the last one. That is most definitely the Mk.3 steam engine with stock skins.

[Ravenhook]

I found that lovely steam engine in the models folder and just had to use it, (whoever made that model is a genius by the way) coupled it up to an oil tank (because I couldn't find a huge pile of logs or enogh of a pile of sacks to give the illusion of coal) and away it went...now how to fit it in game..ah, created a sump next to it with two water wheels and two giant pipe bends to add to the illusion of the engine pulling water up from the waterfall area below to power the waterwheels which in turn deliver both electricity and water to the town...now on with my storyline..phew.

Oh and Raven, one thing I might add that could do your scene a lot of good for a small amount of work is some simple edging. Like the cobblestone to the iron bar fence for example. One strip of something appropriately textured just eases the transition. It's usually where one vastly different object (or material) converges with another. Something to ease that, especially in a really industrial scene I've found to do wonders. Looking great though, I look forward to seeing where this goes.

[Ravenhook]

I see, where there is a change of texture throw in a border..(like in my house here there is a skirting board that seperates the floor from the wall)

Something like I did with the old wooden fence outside the pub. I think looking at it your right, I'll take another look at that after I finish sorting out some of the stuttering when I look in game at some of the areas, I have out in a lot of viz portals which has helped out a lot but it looks like I'll have to cut through half of a particular area with one dirty great big one. Two shots of the fence with the overhanging cobblestones.

[Ravenhook]

And two shots of the inside of the two upper bay windows on the front of the pub that I remodelled so that it could be used.
