Here's what I've been working on for the past couple weeks. For ages I've wanted to add another female character model; something fairly generic that isn't obviously a noblewoman, wench or thief. He

I've gone ahead and done this...haven't spent a huge amount of time on it because the mage mesh really needs some improving (bad deformation in spots and the textures could use some work). I don't wa

This is a new wrapped corpse model, kindly created for the campaign mission by epifire.  There are multiple versions, including a sitting version, and a couple piles of bodies.  The City is now ready

Not quite sure what you mean about the specular map.

If you take a look at that screen you'll see what I mean:

Spider's surface doesn't have uniform specular intensity - it varies with the spot's colours, which makes surface more interesting.

Yep, it isn't a consistant specular on these guys. I don't know how apparent that is in the screenshots though.

 

Actually, I'm experimenting a little bit with coloured speculars to see what kind of effects can be achieved, though I don't intend to spend much more time on the spiders.

Here's the belcher skin I've been working on. I tried to go for a rockier look--heavier scales and more rock-like colours to the skin. I also added a normalmap to the eyes, which I think helps reign in the specular a bit. I still can't figure out where the green is coming from, but it actually looks good so I'm not going to worry about it. :)

 

 

I'll probably play around with the eyes and claws in the future, but this is good enough for now.

That's pretty cool! I love these Belchers, they look great.

I agree--kudos again to Ascottk for making them. :) They look so much better in motion, with their tails waving back and forth and them turning their heads around. It's excellent.

I like that skin a lot! The eyes still don't seem quite right though.

 

Yeah, I never thought something named after rude table manners would look so good :)

Yeah, I was wondering if Belcher is our working name for them, or if that is definitely their name? It seems like they need a more awe-inspiring name, but I know naming things usually devolves into arguments, so I don't want to clutter up the thread. :)

I like the name Belchers. It's slightly reminiscent of the other two-legged-lizard whose name starts with B, without being similar enough to draw explicit association.

That's precisely what strikes me as somewhat cheesy. That's like having a main character named Gorrotte, or those Duplo blocks that ripped off Legos, or GoBots. :) I just feel that it cheapens the setting a bit to think that the best name people could come up for these majestic beasts was "belchers."

Well, I disagree. :P I don't think it's cheesy. Literal, but not cheesy.

 

In any case, I vote that the next person to reply to this conversation starts a new thread, if they're looking to start a proper discussion... this one doesn't need to be derailed even more. :)

Well, since every time I assign a hat to a contributor they disappear, I thought I'd make one myself. :)

Nothing to write home about, but I'm proud of it. :)

That townsfolk guy looks vaguely Russian to me when he's wearing that hat. Not sure why, he just does! :) Nice work.

 

By the way, I chuckled when I saw your SVN comment. "I made a hat!" Hehe.

I made a feather for the hats, and then noticed we didn't have an ink & quill model yet, so...presto. :)

Trying to add to our decorative options...here are two vases/pots that use Ascottk's gen-skins.

I noticed we were a little light on foliage models, so I've added two--a big and small bush with several different skins. It works as a sparse bush or as grass.

Resized and retextured Pinkdot's religious symbol model to make a few gold relics for cathedral loot.

      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?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
