nice shots. If you want an advice, don't place windows on ground floor, or make them small and narrow in poor houses. I think in old times people made them in this way in order to increase security of their houses. at least this is my opinion.:)

I personally wouldn't have it come "out" anywhere on the screen, but below it, so you saw only the last half of it and it was spreading out and its velocity was slowing.
Then it's going to look like your naval is on fire.
I'd guess it would have to be pretty thin to look right.

Let's not even think what it'd look like then! :laugh:

It could look good as part of a scripted sequence I think, like when he first walks outside, you get a V.O. with the breath and the particles and him sounding cold ... a bit like the V.O. in Gathering at the Inn actually. It gives you the sense that it's really cold outside. But it wouldn't have much added value after that and might be a distraction, so you might have it just for that first time. But who knows? Any interesting idea is worth running a test demo and seeing how it looks in-game, and you can be surprised what works and what doesn't.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

What, dont like the visual details? I love them, sorry. Its a good thing to, being an animator and all.

 

For clarity, I meant to not be too solid in density. Noticeable from a distance, yet subtle. If they are a stream of multiple puffs so that they will do in different directions when the head is turned, they do in different directions. I've seen good breath effects, so i know it can be done, but I unfortunately can't help you with how.

 

How about lets not keep de-railing this thread (like im doing)? Next person to talk about it creates dev thread?

 

I think i even remember my first experience with breath effects, which was Rogue Spear. You can see what they did here back in 1999

I've been working on my first mission for some time now, hopefully this will get finished one day. Trying not to get too ambitious, so just a standard "take the streets to rich man's house, loot said house" mission (unless of course I happen to come up with something great that simply _needs_ to be made). Neither of the areas below are finished, but starting to look like something anyway.

Wow, I really like look of those so far, good work! I hope you keep going and finish a small mission for us to play :)

Starting to look good, and that's a lot of stuff already. I need to procrastinate less and build more; I spend altogether too much time thinking about details.

Thank you all, and yes, the beams are square cylinders. Regarding thinking about details, I do tend to get stuck fiddling with a torch cover or cornerstone or something equally minor for way longer than I should, at least at this stage of the mission  :P.

no editing, but got some 3d stuff done.

 

a gear I started along tims ago, it might look familair, still needs tweaking.

And added some windows and a skin

Did some work on a special loot item too but it needs some final tweaks. Might hold it until my mission is released.

 

Still need to make .def for the moveable windows.

Well progress on the map is going forward but the story is still only in my mind :unsure:

Looking very good but consider scaling down the wallpaper texture; its default is a bit large.

 

Those hanging oil lamps; where are they casting light? Might be the perspective but they appear to be over the other lights?

A nice, atmospheric shot, Sonosuke. I particularly like the staircase.

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
