So, what are you working on right now?

[demagogue]

Lemme' guess...

 

 

...this is one of those things that would be easier scripted?

 

Lol. That's the old school way to do it. You should have seen some of the dromed bluerooms back in the day. A room full of AI pushing buttons & opening doors and, one of my favorites, a hopping frog that would randomly trigger different tripwires. That last one was in Komag's Mastermind, where the blueroom was bigger and busier than the actual game space.

[Obsttorte]

I better not ask what you are trying to achieve.

 

@Bikerdude: Awesome work, dude, makes me really jealous.

Is that your setup to to ignite a candle flame?? I think you guess right and if the callobjectfunction method doesn't work I'll help you test the guess when I get home this lunchtime :-)

 

EDIT: @biker: wow! Now that's an exterior!

Whoa, Biker! I hope all of that will be accessible.

Funny you should mention, I had used an AI to create randomness at the start of my map.

Heh, thankfully it's not (or I wouldn't have done it and asked for help); that was a small fraction of this, but I appreciate the offer!

[PranQster]

My WIP. Here are some more shots of pagan life and such.

 

Outta' my way! I have me some henge blessin' to do... (please ignore the obviously unfinished scene & lighting)

 

Nothing like a nice warm fire...

 

Needs more thyme...

 

Little house in the woods with functional windows...

 

Might see a few familiar faces in the pub...

[Goldwell]

Is that Kurt Cobain in the last shot?

[Obsttorte]

You might know that, but Ithink that the outside areas look a bit flat. They would be a create place for some patchwork (and my blend export script ).

Yep, I certainly do know that I still have quite a bit of work to do on the ground and canyon walls...and everything else.

I will have to check out your blend export script. Thanks for the tip.

Same thought occurred to me.

@Bikerdude: Awesome work, dude, makes me really jealous.

Well credit where credit is due, Melan built a lot of that scene I've just added my usual bling via a detail pass.

Whoa, Biker! I hope all of that will be accessible.

Oh yes all the places the player think they can get, they can!

Just a small update on the map. Probably the thing I hate building most in DR are stairs; they require a lot of planning and take forever to put together. In particular I never really understood how to build a spiral staircase. So while I only built a hallway and a set of stairs this week, it's my first set of spiral stairs and I think they turned out well. Feedback and crits welcome like always!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In case anyone is interested, this is the tutorial I used when making the stairs: http://wiki.thedarkm...iral_Staircases (it's missing a lot of pics, but the key part for me was the idea of using bevels for the exterior and then following the subdivisions in the bevels when cutting up the stairs). Also, let me know if there's any interest in me putting together a tutorial on the method I used to build the ceilings patches on the second and third pics as they're pretty straightforward but can be used to make curvy bends in hallways or alcoves.

The angle of light beams in the dust/moisture, and warm color tone really does give that first pic a sunset feel, nice.

[Obsttorte]

Very nice shots. But the light beams should be angled a bit downwards, IMHO. On the screenie it looks a bit weird.

[Moonbo]

Hey Obs,

 

The position of the sun in the skybox outside the window is very low so I think the beam position is okay, but I'll put that down on my list of questions to ask betatesters and if they agree that it looks strange I'll change it.

Impressive as always Moonbo.

Added a bit to this tonight... ;-)

Beta-testing this will mean a lot of fun, I guess.

Blimey!

[Sotha]

Looks like standard RITs to me, although I can't see any "hub" path_waits. The design looks difficult. Making hubs makes it more clean.

[Bikerdude]

Blimey!

Exactly!

[Bikerdude]

Shamless bump-post so I start a new page with the 'real' info :-)
