Images For The Project

[bob_arctor]

I'm in France at the moment, near Lyon. Today I visited Vichy, a beautiful city despite its ugly history.

I have great pictures of the architecture, I'm particularly proud of a picture of a nice tiled floor (in fact from a catholic school) face on, maybe good enough for textures, **shrug** I'm no expert, and would like to give them to the team or the beta mappers to study for inspiration, resources.

 

I can't upload them off the digicam till next weekend, but when I do who wants them?

[Fingernail]

we want them!

 

erm, just make a photobucket account or something.

 

Or email me and I'll host them at my own server.

 

LORD KNOWS BUT DON'T JUST SIT ON THEM!

[Dunedain]

Take as many high resolution pictures as you can of old and/or finely crafted stone, tiles,

walls, ceilings, etc. This will all be extremely useful for TDM. E-mail them to the

TDM team (even if it takes 20 e-mails to handle all the large file attachments).

 

Hopefully you have many extra memory cards to allow the saving of many pictures.

[SneaksieDave]

Even more useful if it came with a normal map.

 

But I kid. Sorta!

[Ombrenuit]

When the Dark Mod is released, will there be a public server of sorts for sharing textures, models, and the like for use by map makers?

[Fingernail]

Yes!

 

Well, no.

 

At least, it's not planned yet, and would require quite a large amount of time to maintain and update (let alone program and design). That's if you mean some sort of online database.

 

If it's just a public ftp server, then perhaps.

 

But on the other hand, I'm sure the traditional Thief landlords, epithumia (thiefmissions.com) and KOMAG (keepofmetalandgold.com) will be willing to lend a hand.

Well they are 3MP, so I can fit lots in, out of a max res of 5MP, not sure how that quality will look. Got about 90 photos of that size left, but I'm not using them all for TDM. 256MB cqard. I'll go to Lyon Wednesday I think, lots of lovely stuff there.

Pleased to be of service. I thought you might have that sort of stuff already. In fact you must all live in dull places.

Messages are simple as French keyboard's are rubbish, keys moved round? esp. all punctuation. Learning to touch type though.

AZERTY keyboard you see. Wiki it.

[bob_arctor]

Day in Lyon today. Took lots of great photos of stuff. Inc. lots of a 1700-1800 cathedral, so quite modern, but in the classical style with loads of gold leaf and tiles inside, whereas the very old cathedrals just have unpainted interiors; the paint has long gone.

There are overviews of architecture, but I've also done little details, especially floors, which can be used to make textures.

[bob_arctor]

Done. Some are poor quality, digicam doesn't like solme lighting conditions>

Back. I've forgotten how to touchtype an English keyboard. Damn<

 

Anyone want to tell me what to do now???

[bob_arctor]

Plus I edited out people in the shots I'll give to the project. They are blanked out.

[Fingernail]

well, email them or upload them somewhere.

[bob_arctor]

Can you give an email address for me to email them to?

[Fingernail]

erm, do me and I'll upload to our own ftp so the rest of the team can get them

Ah.

No-one allows 179MB rar files to be sent over email...

Some kind of upload fpt online service???

[Fingernail]

sounds hot, erm, I'll see what I can do...

[duc]

Ah.

No-one allows 179MB rar files to be sent over email...

Some kind of upload fpt online service???

 

Dunno if you solved ithis Bob but try yousendit.com or one of the similar services, you might have to split it into several archives though as they typically require you to pay for anything > 100mb

[bob_arctor]

Ah. I had never heard of that. Will do that, but have to divide up all my photos into RARs of less than 50. I'll do that tonight some time.

[Dram]

Just want to say thanks for the effort

[bob_arctor]

You say effort, I couldn't be arsed last night, and forgot this morning. I'll do it sometime. You guys aren't exactly waiting on it, you've got quite a lot of things to do still.

 

But yeah, no problem. If you like 'em or use 'em you could bung me at the end of the credits, in the dogsbody section.

[Dram]

shhh! You're not meant to say that Just say you're trying really hard

[Order of the Hammer Bureaucrat]

When I offer to take some pictures nobody notices but when this guy offers some French pictures everybody wants them. Just because I'm colonial doesn't mean my textures are not moody.

[Dram]

Well I don't remember a thread of your pics to tell you the truth, i musta missed it. Reasons are most probably because many people post and thus your thread goes down the list etc.

[Order of the Hammer Bureaucrat]

Don't take the previous post seriously. I was grumpy. I'll start shooting after the exams, etc.

[Macsen]

Nous ne voulons pas vos images coloniales faibles, Ordre du Bureaucrate de Marteau! Seulement les images françaises ont le mérite artistique, je dis!

[bob_arctor]

Ouais, je suppose, bien que maintenant j'apercevoie beaucoup de choses intéressantes dans l'architecture de ma ville ici en angleterre, mais je ne porte jamais mon appareil photo numérique...

 

Grosso modo je suis heureux que le premier quart des images soit envoyé, car il inclue les beaux sols que, j'espère, seront utilisés dans le projet.

 

Je vais continuer. Mais pas maintenant. J'ai un peu d'une guele de bois.
