So, what are you working on right now?

[nbohr1more]

Great! You've got a knack for Manor type interiors.

 

The 4th screen down from the top could use a few stain decals but that's about all I can crit.

[Moonbo]

Thanks Nbohr, where do you think would be good spots for decals in the room? I'll add some dirt around the floor near the coal pile, but that's the only place that jumps out at me.

[nbohr1more]

There are some elongated stains which look like water damage (etc) one might look good near the drain while you

could also have a few coming down on the walls where they touch the ceiling.

[Moonbo]

Sounds good - adding those now.

[Obsttorte]

Very good work indeed. On the third shot you should align the stone textures on the wall. Middle mouse click on one surface and shift+middle mouse click on the neighbouring one. Proceed like this. The other approach is to place supports in the cornes to hide the misalignments.

 

What would add another nice touch, but may cause a lot of additional work, is to let the wooden trims on the walls stand out a bit. This would let the scene look much more plastic. But as said, lot of extra work, so you don't have to do it.

Here's a bathroom that I spent building and detailing for the past couple of days. It is one of the most rebuilt rooms in my game (mostly because of the super secret squirrel access via the toilet into the house).

 

The toilet lid in that shot, is that a patch? I tried doing it in brushes but it looks ugly, so decided to use patches to make it since I can't find a model for it.

Gorgeous bathroom, must've been a pain getting everything aligned.

And some more shots from my current wip -

 

Are those bookshelves models? I've been searching for days trying to find the bookshelves in the model lists but they don't seem to

be there. Where do you find them?

The toilet lid is a combination of patches and brushes. It's a bit of a pain getting everything looking just right for sure but i'm very happy with how it turned out so it's rewarding in the end. Also that's about the third or fourth version of that bathroom so if you're having problems with ugly brushes just rebuild it and try a different approach, sometimes all you need is just a fresh approach to how you're doing something.. at least thats how I do detailing whenever i'm building.

[Obsttorte]

Bookshelves are either under furniture or decorative/wall.

[Moonbo]

Thanks for the crits Obs. You're right about the non-extended wood trim not looking as good and I made sure to extend the trim on the subsequent floor that I built, but since it'd be a lot of work and it's not *too* bad as is, I'll leave it that way for now. I will check the texture alignment on those wall brushes though. If you think of anything else, just mention it on the thread :-).

[Bikerdude]

@MoonBo, very nice mister. my only crits are the rugs are too thick (they dont need to be thicker than 1 unit) and the scale of the tiled floor in the litchen is too small - also its a bit off to have the tiled floor above a wooden floor when one is heavier than the other.

Very very nice mister, those crate the pagan is sleeping on need some work though.

[Moonbo]

@Goldwell, that looks great - lots of creative ideas on display there. What's the music you're using in the trailer?

 

@Bikerdude: hm, those carpets are actually already at 1 unit thick, but I'll see about scaling up the tile texture.

 

Just spent today finishing up the attic section of that part of the manor and I really like how it turned out. It's a bit (too?) dark here, but are some shots:

@Goldwell: Your trailers make waiting for new missions impossible, my fingers are itching to play that!!!

 

@Moonbo: Those screens look great! Nice and disheveled just like that aught to be.

[Melan]

Goldwell: Excellent!

 

Moonbo: It is never too dark as long as the player has a lantern! But seriously, it is just right, and I love that third shot!

 

And here is the first screenshot for Penny Dreadful 3:

Niiiice.

So still plugging away, this time in making one of the two planned manor wings. I'm still new to building in the manor style, and I've tried to take into account everyone's feedback from my last batch of screenshots, so any more input/crits you guys can think of are greatly appreciated!

 

Neat angled windows!

[Moonbo]

Thanks Jaxa, I got the inspiration for those from Bikerdude and Baal's upcoming map, so make sure to play it when it comes out .

[NeonsStyle]

Bikerdude, any chance of those textures in your manor get released to us before the next patch? lol Would love

to use them in my map.

Hey Venus,

 

Check out the Penny Dreadful missions by Melan, in the pk4s you'll find a few of those textures (like the carpet ones).

[NeonsStyle]

Goldwell, is there a reason why it's so dark in many places of the vid? I'm sure it was intentional,

so that's why I ask.

[NeonsStyle]

Hey Venus,

Oh cool... thanks, will look for it. Carpets are a bit of a pain at the moment for me. I'm finding that

the end pieces of the stock runners just don't align with the main piece no matter how I fiddle with it.

 

So will definitely take a look. Thx

 

BTW I did play the first Penny Dreadful, was a fun mission.

[Moonbo]

Yeah, for some reason the carpet endings don't match up with the runners. The only use I could ever find for the ending textures for was to take two of them, flip one, and treat them as a single rug.

[Arcturus]

Yeah, for some reason the carpet endings don't match up with the runners.

If you're talking about the stock TDM runners then they do match.
