Hello thieves,  the other day I realized my last Volta release was in 2017! Time really flies.  After years of fiddling with this project, I'm ready to announce the remaining missions in the Volt

Added some temporary lights to FM that is just entering beta - I guess there is not much to show if all lights are off in your mission...   http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/19886-fm-marsh-of-rahena-

Got back to DR and added a few rooms to my WIP ...

@Melan: Waterfall is a thin triangle (or diamond) of water volume, with tdm_waterfall_light.prt here and there, and tdm_waterfall_light_splashes.prt at bottom.

@Biker: This foggy cliff is surprisingly light for engine, at my low end PC I get not less than 30fps at wide angle from far corner of this area. I guess lack of lights is really beneficent.

Great stuff, although some of the brick use looked a bit off, like using bricks for stair railings.

Argh...I really need everyone's help on this one. I'm trying to create an imposing entrance made up of a very large building cut into a cliff face. I've tried two different setups and both of them suck. Here's the one I think has the most promise:

I know what the issues are but I can't think of any solutions. First off the whole thing looks short and squat, like a fat brick just sitting there, which makes it much less imposing than its size should. Second I'm worried that the individual pieces (especially the columns) are too big and plain which makes the scene lack in detail.

 

The obvious solution is to vary the height of the building or the depth of the facade, but I can't think of a way to do that that looks good...any thoughts (or suggestions for an entirely new setup)?

But you should walk having internal dignity. Be a wonderful person who can dance pleasantly to the rhythm of the universe.

Monobo, columns are point consern? They looks kinda fat. And that ringy thing at the bottom of columns will be better if sharp edged and smaller. And perhaps downscale textures. Otherwise looks worthy of an epic entrance!

What excuse do we have not to sculpt, and sculpt, and sculpt, until the job is done?

Neat! How did you add a current to it?

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

Thanks Sotha & Sometaff, I'll try doubling the overall size of the space I'm working with for a start, and fix the columns. Thanks also for the Petra reference shot.

      All services hosted on the server were sluggish. I've rebooted and it appears to be better. Let me know if there are still issues.

      Who is actually working on new missions right now? That I, the greatest mapper of all times (and I say this in all modesty, it is innate in me) am working on something epochal is clear to everyone by now. But who else is working on new missions? Please let me, your God, know, because it's so depressingly quiet here and I don't like to post pictures all the time, because even for me it gets a bit too boastful (although justified) with time.
