So, what are you working on right now?

[Bikerdude]

This is what I like to see, mappers who's skills improve each time they present new creations :-)

So I have a late Christmas present for you all (or as the optimist would say an early New Years present!) but here is the briefing video created by the very talented Crowind for my next fan mission Lord Edgars Bathhouse.

 

My FM should be released tonight or tomorrow but in the mean time check this out and enjoy!

Extremely impressive young man, hats off to you and Crowind for the most T2 looking briefing yet!

[Springheel]

Wow, that's brilliant!

(Bowing and scraping ...) We are not worthy ...

[Moonbo]

Looks great Goldwell! I've been working on the main foyer of the manor (chandelier and general layout is courtesy of Bikerdude) as well as a few miscellaneous rooms. I'm not sure I like how it's turned out though...maybe the lighting is too dark or the textures are too similar? Interested in hearing what you guys think. For the main foyer especially, but for any of the shots, if you see any spot that's too dark or if anything looks amiss/off/too plain just let me know.

[Capela]

[Capela]

Well i decide to change textures from last picture and put a little more to the bulding. And the view from the other side.

Hey Capela,

 

Looking good as usual, the only criticism I have is that it's very same-y color wise with most of the textures being muted grays and browns which makes all the buildings melt into each other. You might try varying up the textures on a few of the buildings, possibly using red/moldy-green/blue bricks or different color lights on the windows. Subtle color contrast can really add a lot to a scene.

But thats what made Thief4 and games like it so cohesive, its all the colours blending into each other. Cities and towns of this era were very drab, look at Elderscrolls all the building looked similar in colour pallet and a lot of people inclkuding me loved that.

 

@MoonBo, your the only mapper tdm or otherwise that seems to be able to use textures and colours in a way that somehow works, when the rest of try that it just dosen't work.

[Capela]

Heya @Moonbo, well about textures colors i think @Bikerdude say it all.

[Capela]

More 4 Pics to end the year.

 

 

 

 

 

And a happy new year to all.

[Bikerdude]

very nice work there young man :-)

[Moonbo]

I've been finishing up the manor exterior over the last few days, so in sticking with the New Year spirit, here's a few shots. Welcome to Thurgoode Manor (unless you guys think that name sucks ). You can ignore the odd stretching in the sky, that's just a bug with the screenshots, in game the sky looks fine. Crits/comments welcome as always:

Nice work, Moonbo!

[Capela]

Wow nice shots Moonbo, you really can blend the colors nicely and a very detail work. Keep it coming.

[VanishedOne]

Ooh, I want to explore that...

 

Just one little thing: in the first shot, there are a couple of orange/lit windows over on the right, but one of them appears to be ajar, and the room behind seems too dark to match the orange glass panes.

Fantastic work guys, very impressive and thief like, even the voice, thumbs up for the voice actor.

[jaxa]

@Capela I'm getting a Skyrim/Riften vibe

[Moonbo]

Thanks VanishedOne, I was trying to use the texture to highlight that the window is open, but you're right. I'll probably stick a candle in that window instead.

[Capela]

Heya jaxa, well i have Skyrim but only play it about 10 minutes, in fact i must have about 100 games that i collected over the years but finished only like 10% of them.

My inspiration comes from the universe of D&D that i have alot of magazines and adventures Books, and special from comic Books that i have a huge collection.

 

In fact i was thinking from a long time to make a version of the Temple Of Elemental Evil in the universe of Thief but that requires alot of free time that i dont have anymore...ha. and more Pagan content would be nice to.
