So, what are you working on right now?

[Springheel]

Who said cobblestones aren't meant for use on buildings? Cobblestones just mean irregular, unshaped stones. Bricks are cut and basically rectangular. That's the only real difference.

[Johannes Burock]

Here a picture of the current WIP (this "room" is nearly finished):

 

[grayman]

Nice.

 

Creepy.

 

Nice 'n' creepy.

[Sotha]

It somehow reminds me of the character creation dungeon in obvlivion. And that was definately created with some kind of 3d modeling software. It is truly remarkable how you are able to get similar level of detail with DR.

[Bikerdude]

I think Johannes is gonna be the patchmaster of TDM...!!!

 

Bloody gorgeous as useal Johannes.

[PPoe]

Johannes, you trully are my insiration. .Once I would like to have as much skills as you..

 

Its not as hard to create a good looking patches, but its wery hard to texture them as awesome as Johannes can. At least for me..

[Shadowhide]

its complete nonsense

very easy to texture patch/brush,hard to make it

[Johannes Burock]

Thank you all for the (positiv) response.

 

@ PPoe and Shadowhide:

I think its hard to create patches in this way that you can texture them in a good way...there are some tricks...for a simple arch, no problem. But more complex geometry is the problem

[Melan]

Johannes: how far along do you estimate your level to be in development? That is -- when can we expect to see it?

Mh, the geometry is relative well advanced....but there is much work to do around the map ...i prefer quality than imperfect work, so please give me the time i (/we) need.

[Baddcog]

Working on taking a screenshot without locking up, lol.

 

So I'll just leave these editor shots. Have been wanting to do a canal/city mission for a long time. So this one is based around that. Will just be a simple heist mission.Long way to go, seems like a couple hours pass and I don't feel I've gotten anywhere...

[demagogue]

We haven't seen enough canals in missions. Great!

[Bikerdude]

And that one looks easy to VP.

[Springheel]

Very nice. Love the (patch?) sack draped over the edge.

[Baddcog]

Thanks. Yeah, I got the VP's planned out, though I've been lazy and it's all in one huge box atm.

 

Nope, that's the bent sack object, just upside down

[RPGista]

I like it very much, particularly the nice amount of details, the non-orthogonal buildings, and the canal idea, of course. Only thing i would suggest, based on a place like Venice, is to have sections where the buildings walls are the actual canal (no sidewalk buffer between constructions and the river), which can create great variety of situations like small pprts around a corner, bridges crossing the river on several heights, areas so narrow the opposite facades almost touch, etc.

[Baddcog]

Thanks. That stuff is definitely planned. I'd like this to be about 1/3 of the canal. Where it goes into the tunnel I'll have a bit of canal, probably a locked gate at the far end. On the other end it goes through a double arch and on that side I was going to have one side be wall/buildings, the other side I wanted some teirs/steps, so all the streets buildings will be higher up and tall bridge or two, maybe more business'. And past there it'll get slummy (start area, boat ride?).

 

The street by the tunnel will wrap up around a hill, and that'll be a city gate ritzy part of town where the heist will be. Hopefully I can work in a lot more a of a thieves highway area there with a brightly lit guarded street below. I'd like to work in a few different routes too but that all depends on how far I feel like going.

Someone here once said "The more the better", and so:

 

 

[Glyph Seeker]

I freaking love canals!

 

I've lived by the Thames my whole life so I'm generally interested in canals and riverways as methods as commerce overall. In my mind a city like Bridgeport would have quite a few waterways as well as buried rivers and things like London so this is a welcome looking level! =-)

[Bikerdude]

Nice texture Pusi, but its way too clean and regular.

[SiyahParsomen]

Nice texture Pusi, but its way too clean and regular.

 

yes. It looks modern. Just keep it up!

[Bikerdude]

yes. It looks modern. Just keep it up!

The thing is clean textures don't do so well in TDM, its more a case of the dirtier the better.

[pusianka]

FINE, Fine, fine...:

 

[grayman]

Are those shadows in the diffuse texture? Or is this a screenshot in game?

[pusianka]

OH COME ON THEY ARE SO SMALL!...................................................................................................... Diffuse...
