So, what are you working on right now?

[Fidcal]

Mmm... everybody's doing recessed windows and I'm mostly doing lazy stick on windows.....

 

 

Well, I've completely redone my back stairs with improved grime, worn steps, better lighting (I'll let you wait for release to see it!) and now moved on to placing AI. This is starting to bring it to life!

Shots really give me a feeling of Thief and the fog definitely adds a lot to the atmosphere.

creepy ! light is flickerig

Done that today

[New Horizon]

Looking good. Just watch out for the wood grain on some of those beams. The grain on the texture should run horizontally with the length of the wood, not vertical.

[Springheel]

You need to brighten these up in Photoshop or something for the forums, as it's hard to make anything out.

[grayman]

Lookin' better 'n' better all the time.

[LEGION]

Yeah, *hidden one in shadow* , it´s nice to see your progress. And for image-brightening I suggest IrfanView, it´s very fast and simple to handle. (menu Image->Color corrections and then increase Gamma slightly, I always use 1.12 up to 1.25)

[Baddcog]

what they said^

 

I find it alot easier to align one wood beam, then duplicate it as needed. saves alot of time with alignment.

Done that today

 

Cute pic!

[Shadowhide]

@SW

it looks like you are raising your bar each time. However, you have long way to go in order to be boss as you know.

[Komag]

looks good, except that that last pics is TOO brighted, all washed out

[stumpy]

too dark for me, but am still on a cathod raytube monitor.

[LEGION]

Hm, for me it´s bright but still looking good. I can almost hear Ape-beasts and Ratmans singing in the distance...

[Baddcog]

lol, that's PERFECT brightness for me

(can't win 'em all).

 

The front door could use a heavy beam trim imo.

[Aprilsister]

It should be 43% darker on top and 11% brighter on the bottom and the wood is too thick in some places (obvious ones) while just right in others but not at that angle unless you intend to grime it up which I recommend you do before adjusting those torches so that they cast shadows in all the right places which I'm sure you will want to do upon reflection once your foliage is corrected satisfactorily.

There is one thing I'm wondering about your first pic: how did the barrel get to those wooden beams near the roof? Is there a crane of any kind that helped heave it up? Because, from personal experience, I can say that wooden barrels are quite heavy, even the empty ones.

[Melan]

Yeah, but it's not something I would worry about too much. There could be a zillion explanations. Maybe it is an old barrel hauled up there for storage. Maybe it is there to hide contraband. Things in real life aren't always realistic.

[Sotha]

Things in real life aren't always realistic.

 

Four men met at this location and had many, many drinks. At some point they made a wager who is tough enough to carry the barrel up there. The first guy managed to carry it up there and won the wager. The others, in disappointment, beat the crap out of him and during this his bag of glowing green mushrooms poured over and caused some shrooms to grow in a weird place. Later, in reconciliation, the guys gave the beat up guy, the owner of the house, that rather valuable stuffed animal head.

 

Elementary, my dear Watson.

[7upMan]

Okay then, but where's the ladder, my dear Sherlock? They surely didn't give him a step-up to climb up to the roof, did they?

Barrels are made of wood. Ladders are made of wood. Obviously the barrel is a ladder.

[Sotha]

Okay then, but where's the ladder, my dear Sherlock? They surely didn't give him a step-up to climb up to the roof, did they?

 

Ah, but you've missed an important thing indeed, my dear Watson.

*Knocks on the left wall, smiling*

 

Surely you didn't miss the peculiar woodwork on this wall? The woodwork is so thick that an adult man could easily use it as footholds while clambering upwards with a barrel. Indeed, this tells us the man who got the barrel all the way up was surely a very strong one, which also explains why it required 3 other men to beat him. Also pay attention to the location of the mushrooms. It looks obvious to me that he was attacked by the other men when he was climbing back downwards, and it was that very moment when he poured his bag of glowing green mushrooms. All the evidence we need is indeed here.

 

Everything that is required from us is to pay attention to the minute details, my dear friend. It is time to call the Scotland Yard to apprehend the butler, as his involvement in the murder is obvious.

LOOOOL Ya know, it could actually have happened this way. Kudos to you, my British upper-class friend, you have indeed a fine eye for details!

Guys, are we getting of topic a little..?
