So, what are you working on right now?

[Melan]

Oh wow. Seriously. That interior + the Grimm fairy tale outside area...

[Sir Taffsalot]

let me say it in this way: 1. not so much freetime and 2. the whole project is bigger than you think ...no more comment

 

Give me quality over quantity any day of the week.

[Komag]

I agree, I want a small masterpiece rather than a large never-released thing

[Springheel]

Amazing.

[Bikerdude]

Jesus Johannes, how do you come up with this stuff..???!!! that patch work ceiling is just sublime!! I think I said this before and I'll happily say it again, you are the patchworth mestro....If the first shot was sublime, the second one is just aweinspiring

 

My only hope is the map these belong to wont be do demanding on the hardware side of things...

[ungoliant]

I dunno JB's mission looks like it would be worth playing as a slideshow.

Than i also can make a thief comic for you

[PPoe]

Awesome work Johannes.. I really LOVE the outdoor area.

 

And since everyone is posting screenshots, I will also add one. Dont look on the FPS, still no visportals placed..

 

[Bikerdude]

Looking very nice there ppoe.

[Diego]

Fantastic screen shots!

 

I just wanted to drop by and say I'm really surprised to learn that 1.08 already has considerable efforts in making TDM standalone! I really wasn't expecting anything like this so soon, especially when so muchmore is being added already. My congratulations and thanks to all people involved

Or a third possibility is that we'll get a large masterpiece (even better IMHO) .

 

(No pressure, JB. Jus keep goin.)

So I have been working on one of the campaign missions (no spoilers, except to note it has a lot of verticality). Things are slowly going ahead, a specific area takes shape. These is a seriously unbearable heat wave in Hungary right now - around 35 degrees outside - so after lunch, I took a very uncharacteristic siesta.

 

I was dreaming, except not the usual things, but about wandering around my own level. Not only did I climb around stuff and enter a window (which was much larger in the dream than it really is), but... I found stuff that didn't belong there. Namely, a multi-level car park within my mission, opening to a sushi bar with a built-in escape elevator and a lounge for businesspeople... all in pristine quality and unused. The bottom of the car park was flooded and everyone who entered the water would be killed. I even dreamed about the DarkRadiant layout, which was a bit like an Escher painting, with architecture built at seriously wrong angles. Or rather, it was all correct, but suited for the unique multi-directional gravity inside the mission. That's as far as I got before I awoke.

 

Crazy stuff.

 

If I end up sleep-editing, don't be surprised if one of the missions in Crucible will have a huge multi-level car park and stuff in it. You have been warned!

[Midnight]

No car park please, but the sushi place sounds nice

Heh, easter egg comming?=)

[pusianka]

"Ok, JB you're like a cold bastard, you see people are posting lots of beautiful stuff, amazingly good attempts, BREATHTAKING views... and you? You just come in, post 3 pics and strike everyone down to their knees with things that are just simply unachieveable to anyone here!"

 

as for Melan, please allow me to translate this dream for ya^^... (the ending is - you'll die in agony... soon...)

 

(apostrophies stand for "do not take seriosuly")

[Sir Taffsalot]

Christ Melan! You've just given away the concept for my FM!

[RPGista]

Working on some test models, but in game implementations are on hold untill I can get the assimp beta3 to work...

 

 

 

[Bikerdude]

Those textures look awesome RP, just what TDM needs!

[SeriousToni]

Hey there people - saw some very cool stuff in here today. Guess the future will bring many neat days of TDM enjoyment

[Glyph Seeker]

THat looks gorgeous RPGista!

[RPGista]

Thanks a lot guys, right now Im just trying to get some solid experience in modeling and texturing - I was inspired by Arcturus' manifesto (around the time of his Grass test map) when he suggested more people should use modelers to map. First to get the technical knowledge out of the way, then start by contributting some scenery building models for the community (also texture those models I already released, maybe model more everyday objects too, small, fast-to-do things).

 

Biker - I'll be sure to upload the materials I get good results with. Right now they are all placeholders, but luckly materials are not really hard to make, so more can be expected.

[I4cTaffer]

Here is a little bit of what im working on. Don't have a name for it yet and it still a little shoddy compaired to what i've seen on this threadbut it's comming along. Sorry if too dark.

Edited June 28, 2012 by I4cTaffer

[Bikerdude]

They all very good look, especially the last one l4c, but the low fps suggest that you haven.t been placing vizportals as you go, drop me a pm if you want a hand with that.

[Melan]

l4cTaffer: I like them. I think the first looks a bit too obviously low-poly, since neither lights nor objects break up a space consisting of rectangles. Actually, the last shot is also rectangular, but it looks completely all right because there is light variety and objects.

 

In the room interior, a few ceiling beams or a trim along the top edges of the walls would do good - although they are not essential.

[SiyahParsomen]

welcome to darkmod forums l4ctaffer!

 

I suggest you to use power of D3 a little more. It seems like a dromed mission currently.

 

Keep it up!
