Anyone been taking fancy screenshots of the new soft shadows in 2.06?

 

I'd like to get ahold of some pretty pictures to use for the media release. If you have any you could share, please let me know. If they show off AI and/or newish assets, so much the better!

Made a couple. Not from recent FMs though, I haven't caught up yet.

(my browser autocorrects them to a weird aspect ratio and a darker gamma. download the full-size pngs, they should be fine)

Yeah, the pictures are a bit small, even on the site which opens.

 

What's the difference between the current shadows and soft shadows? Higher resolution, and smoother edges on soft shadows? Looks quite smoother on the pics, but, can't compare to how it is now.

These are previews, you can DL the 1920x1080 once you click on them. I fully agree that there's room for improvement when it comes to showcasing the soft shadows. I just went through some of my favorite FM spots that I could remember, and I like my Thief/TDM dark and contrasty.

In-game you can type "r_SoftShadowsRadius 0" in the console to compare (1 is default). They get softer the further from the lighsource they reach. Mostly, they just don't look like cut-outs anymore.

I also want new images to update our website, so beauty shots are also needed.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
