Bikerdude 3738 Report post Posted June 26, 2016 Very nice, my only crits are -the dirt patches are are a tad too big, imho they should be small enough to just hint at dirt push upagainst the walls of buildings and suchThe scale of some of the windows is too big, eg in the first shot the middle building upper and lower windows need scaling down.That balacony would collaps the first time some one stepped on it, need supports underneath.And lastly you have some lights set with noshadow, that shouldnt be. Eg the light shining on the wall to the right of the player, should be shining through the ledge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
demagogue 1198 Report post Posted June 27, 2016 I'm sure somebody's said whatever is good in DR is even better with more z-axis.Well I said it. Just now. It's interesting to see how such a simple & quick change makes a big difference. @Biker.- I'm going through different concepts for the streets. I wanted them to be dirt streets to begin with, since it's a provincial town. I want the streets to look muddy and thrown together. I think the mounds mud by themselves don't quite work, but I'll have to play around to find the right concept.- Those particular windows are supposed to be stupidly proportioned to look ridiculous. So I acknowledge what you're saying. There's a reason for it just for them. But it's not the norm for other buildings.- Yeah, that model comes with little supports but you're right, the model as it's given itself doesn't look very stable. Easy fix.- No light is set to noshadow right now (well, maybe really old ones may be). The light on the right shouldn't be shining through anything because then it'd shine into a place the player will go, so it's properly on the default (shadow on). One of these days I'll take a light pass through the whole map to check what could use some noshadow for performance.Thanks for your input. 8 Quote What do you see when you turn out the light?

Fieldmedic 136 Report post Posted July 4, 2016 Demagogue, is that the ghost model from A Night To Remember? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
demagogue 1198 Report post Posted July 4, 2016 It's not a ghost model. It's the normal female model.When you push the button in DR that makes the 3D window render in "lit mode", then it just draws lit-up AI in that ghost-like way.

ERH+ 660 Report post Posted July 21, 2016 I think this mission will finally reach the surface. BTW fog light is quite good in adding volume to unlit surfaces - area below looks way more intimidating without big ambient light. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dragofer 1225 Report post Posted July 23, 2016 Very nice ERH, the whole place is very mysterious. I'm looking forward to it, in fact having nominated the Deep Trouble campaign as one of my top 5 FMs for the unique and hostile feel it had, an FM which I think is comparable in many ways to this one. Regarding your techniques:- that kelp does great things for the underwater environment, is it custom? I'd very much like to have it for my own underwater part.- you're saying you have no ambient light underwater and it's all illuminated just by a foglight?- could you share your technique for the reflective water surface please? Water surfaces have been an annoyance a long time for me.- a suggestion of mine to try out would be to have a layer of fog over the water, the particles I've found quite useful for that are dustfog2 and dustfog4. 1 Quote FM: One Step Too Far | FM: Down by the Riverside | FM: Perilous Refuge | Dragofer's Stuff | Dragofer's Scripting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ERH+ 660 Report post Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) -Kelp is just few crossed patches in two variants with decals/vegetation/ivy_mixed_pieces, and is spawned by seed in number of 500 each.-Small (2000 x 2000 x 2000) ambient light is attached to players head, so you can see actual textures only in your proximity.-By reflective water you mean mirror surface or light reflections on walls? I'm using custom animated light texture. Edited July 23, 2016 by ERH+ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragofer 1225 Report post Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) -By reflective water you mean mirror surface or light reflections on walls? I'm using custom animated light texture.Actually it doesn't need to be reflective, just more opaque - I don't like how clearly you can see into the water, even with a foglight down there. I remembered now that SteveL already developed a way to get the effect that I was looking for in Messing with Sea Water, that'll be very interesting to try out.

Like builder, etc. I don't know the purpose of this room, but have you thought maybe cinematic would be better suited? Slowing gliding through the space, haunting music, random words. Love the room.
