Sotha 1908 Report post Posted May 7, 2015 Yeah, adding simple ceiling beams (with wall support beams) will give a more complex look with very little effort. Keep up the good job! Quote Clipper-The mapper's best friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sotha 1908 Report post Posted May 10, 2015 Well, since people liked the previous daylight shot, I'll show another. Like previously, this is just a staged picture for the mission briefing, but it was made with DR and vertex blended .ase terrain (thanks for Obstorte for making the pluging.) For the record, and if someone wants daylight: this scene uses these colors.Sun (normal point light): rgb(252, 163, 76)Shadows (ambient_world): rgb(107, 76, 53) 16 Quote Clipper-The mapper's best friend.

SeriousToni 465 Report post Posted May 10, 2015 Nice scene! Can you add some mountains to the background to make it look less flat? And some more tree variations please!

Goldwell 2416 Report post Posted May 10, 2015 Wow that looks fantastic! Is the main mission daylight or nighttime? also do you have an ETA yet? (very excited to play!)

Sotha 1908 Report post Posted May 10, 2015 Thanks! The scene was made just to get a picture of a forest road for the mission briefing. Now when I got the blend exporter to work, I made the scene in an hour or so. The actual mission will happen on night time and will have typical gameplay, exept it will have assassinations rather than stealing. ETA is end of summer, but if I happen to have extra spare time, it could go into beta within a month or two. 5 Quote Clipper-The mapper's best friend.

Goldwell 2416 Report post Posted May 15, 2015 Heres a little bit of footage from the streets of my untitled sequel to lord edgars bathhouse 2. I disabled the AI and made the doors unlocked on purpose but the feel for the city is definitely getting there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG_w4u1hL7s 14 Quote Shadows of Northdale Campaign ACT I: A Curious Mind | ACT II: Down The Rabbit Hole Stand Alone Missions Snowed Inn | Accountant 1: Thieves and Heirs | Accountant 2: New In town | Spring Cleaning | Lord Edgar's Bathhouse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Springheel 4581 Report post Posted May 15, 2015 Something about the scale of the top floor of those buildings is off. The wood looks way too wide compared to size of the window. Nice to see my lute player getting some action!

Nice to see my lute player getting some action! Nice catch, and now that you've brought it to my attention I cant believe I didnt notice it sooner.. ha well i've extended those buildings now so thanks! Also that lute playing animation is very well done, i've stood in the tavern listening and watching him play through the whole song and it has a very lifelike feeling to it which really adds to the ambiance. 3 Quote Shadows of Northdale Campaign ACT I: A Curious Mind | ACT II: Down The Rabbit Hole Stand Alone Missions Snowed Inn | Accountant 1: Thieves and Heirs | Accountant 2: New In town | Spring Cleaning | Lord Edgar's Bathhouse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sotha 1908 Report post Posted May 15, 2015 @Goldwell, looks cool, but two things:*The city looks quite gridlike and non-organic. You could try to break the 90 degree corners by making modules or houses and rotate them a bit.*The city seems flat. Remember that there is the height dimension. This also contributes to the organic feel. Just don't rebuild anything but try to add some organicness in places where you can get away with it with minimal effort. 2 Quote Clipper-The mapper's best friend.

Goldwell 2416 Report post Posted June 8, 2015 Wow this map looks awesome! Something i've noticed from the surface is that it looks like you've taken notes and improved since your last map Sir Taffsalot, with this current WIP there doesn't look like a lot of empty space like the previous FM, everything seems to fit quite well and the dimensions look good too. Looking forward to playing it!

Agent Jones 24 Report post Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) ... it looks like I'm not the only one who makes that kind of ceilings. The in-universe explanation will be that Bridgeport's ACME makes them serially, just like all those wood cabinets with a secret compartment.

AluminumHaste 996 Report post Posted June 13, 2015 You've probably seen these in the other threads, but I'm working on getting translucent windows to react to light sources.I think I'm pretty much there.The normal stained glass windows I made are the last two, the purple one with black sword and coloured yellow one.The modified one is obvious I think 8 Quote I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

AluminumHaste 996 Report post Posted June 13, 2015 Interesting side effect of this new approach.With the current stained glass implementation, when you look through one window into another, there's no colour information in the second window. Even though you can clearly see that there is tons of colour in the window: But with the new approach, we get addiditve colour (I think that's what it's called) and it looks more like what you would expect in reality. Super exciting! 7 Quote I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
161803398874989 81 Report post Posted June 13, 2015 I don't you think you'd get additive colour. Blue glass only lets through blue light. Red glass only lets through red light. So if you let white light (all colours) first go through red glass and then through blue glass, you end up with only the light that both glasses let through, which is a lot less. You definitely wouldn't perceive the back glass to be even brighter like it is in the picture.What would probably work is, if the glass has colour 0.2 0.3 0.4 (RGB), you multiply each of the colour values of the light passing through the glass by 0.2 0.3 0.4 (R G B, respectively).
