So, what are you working on right now?

[Bikerdude]

Good architecture, but the colour scheme is a bit intense. And I was say there is a tad too much marble, IMHO the stairs, and arches should be wood from a mechanical/structural/financial point of view. The street lights look a bit out of place, use hanging lights instead.

[Sotha]

...Aaand that floor texture looks H U G E in scale. Perhaps splitting it into smaller floor mosaic would help?

Like this: note how there is different "textures" on the floor and not the same pattern repeated in every single direction, which looks a bit boring and weird.

Im doing this indoor section and i found only this chandelier under light folder!!! is this the only model or i need to search other folders?

There are are a few more chandeliers that i know of - several of them aren't entities so you'd have to look in the models section, but there's at least one three-candled chandelier that is an entity. Try looking in the "extinguishable" section of the light entities.

This room seems really huge. Did you test it ingame?

[Obsttorte]

I guess it will look less huge once he added some content.

[SeriousToni]

Are you sure? Look how small the chandelier is in comparison to the rest of the room

[Obsttorte]

Ah, that youve meant. Well, he could use a bigger one. He should also add some ceiling I guess. han the chandelier would hang lower and he could add more of them.

 

This looks like a attic to me, so I'm not sure a chandelier is really fitting anyways. @Capela: Did you try the cagelight in that scene. It looks pretty good, provides moving shadows, and if you want to I can show you how to make it swing a bit.

[Capela]

Yes, its a big room thats was the ideia, but if the models dont look good i will change it.

[nbohr1more]

I kinda like the chandelier. It lends the room a sort of "decayed from opulence" look. Though a little more furniture would help.

[Capela]

I think, does not seem so big now..

Could be just me, but the proportions of the window textures looks a bit odd. Also the window arch/vault looks too gentle:

Same for doorway arches:

Otherwise the gamespace and ceiling height looks fine to me. Hopefully this helps!

From other point of view

Yep i know what you mean..tanks for the references.

[ungoliant]

I think what toni was getting at was the proportion of the scene to the size of the players/AI. Could you throw in an AI to show the scale, Capela?

Yep i know....im just afraid for now. So much work......will see.

Here is the first custom graphic for my WIP for the unusual gameplay contest. Likely this will be for the mission load screen, possibly a couple other places.

 

The stellar constellation (or asterism) known in olden times as "The Builder's Hammer":

[Sir Taffsalot]

@ Capela: A good way to make sure your map is the correct size is to put an AI in to the map right at the beginning. It will give you a sense of proportion in relation to the AI. I made this mistake in my first map and some of the buildings ended up looking unrealistically big.

[Capela]

So i think its to big.

 

[Sotha]

So i think its to big.

 

Holy hell!

More reasons why placing an AI for proportions in very important. I was completely fooled by the scale!

[Moonbo]

Haha, wow that's huge! Is the whole level to that scale? Since you've already put so much work into it, maybe just work the size into the plot and release it as part of the unusual gameplay contest :-P.

[SeriousToni]

So my eyes still work

Inventor's Guild has created a new experimental Miniatyrization Beam. Of course the device went haywire and accidentally miniatyrized all living beings in the whole building! Imagine cool vertical gameplay when player climbs to a table!

[Springheel]

Ha! A TDM Rats mission!

[Sir Taffsalot]

Oops! It looks that Small Big Wolrd area in Constantines Mansion in Thief Gold. Dont worry its all about learning. Make sure you put an AI in the map as soon as you start building. It will give you an idea if what scale to build in.
