So, what are you working on right now?

Double post.

Very atmospheric, amazing use of colors and texture.

Don't remember if TDM supports it but that cobles stone floor would be even more awesome with POM (parallax occlusion mapping).

Hidden Hands: Vitalic Fever

 

 

Well, the time-consuming things are finished. New ambient and new FX already in place. Same goes for EFX.

 

I want to add loot/items/ammo and all objectives this weekend.

 

Then will try to get some voice actors.

 

Location: a seemingly peaceful, cottage

 

 

Halfrid is back, and he is crazier than ever!

 

 

Why is he growing vegetables high above the ground in the first place?

 

 

Duzenko suggested to re-adjust the light for better performance in a critical staricase. Side effect: it looks much better now!

 

 

Spartanic builders!

 

 

...and as always: alcoholics everywhere! (Even the musician seems to be drunk!)

 

 

EDIT: Original shots were way too dark, sorry. Just uploaded pics with increased gamma.

Been working on textures for my window material. Nailing down stone and metal was pretty straightforward, but I'm struggling with stained glass design, mostly with how to choose colored glass, and how to work with emissive texture to make the material work in all lighting conditions. I'll get there at some point.

Jack your pics look great. However you might want to think about adding skirting boards and cornices. Where two planes meet, is always a great opportunity

for detail. Your level is looking good.

I have no idea when this will be finished.

Don't get me wrong, your designs really look great, but, i often miss a bit of "dirt" and smear, when i see your stuff. It often rather reminds me of Dishonored, which also has a certain posh look, than of The Dark Mod.

 

Again, don't get me wrong, it really looks nice. I just think it could use some more dirt, smear, and mold. It's rather how i would imagine a restorated, and maintained church nowadays, than a church back in the days.

It's the aesthetic he's going for. If he were going for gritty realism, he wouldn't be doing windows and siding like that to begin with.

I like grimy things too, but I know when an aesthetic needs to be authentic to what it is, and this is true to its vision.

[peter_spy 1384]

What Dema said. While I do use some dirt and dust, I'm going for a bit lighter mood, and building that's decades old, rather than centuries. It all fits together quite nicely, IMO:

With that kind of lighting, it already looks more dirty. Maybe it's just me and the bright screenshots.

Just saw over on ttlg discord server that bikerdude is still working away on his Shadowhide city mission.

Pimping your own work while pretending to be someone else is cute and all, but making new accounts to get around a ban is obviously not permitted.

Question. If Bikerdude releases any further work, will his stuff be added to the in-game mission downloader?

Assuming it's his own work or work he has permission to use, I can't think of any reason it wouldn't be.

This is very fair, and I applaud this decision.

I've spent the past couple months building my first FM ever (with much help from Springheel's tutorials)! The setting is a judge's well-appointed house.

Nice! And welcome!

The dilapidated old house at the western waterfront of Wrecker's Reach. A local glancing upwards as he hurriedly walks past in the dark of night might notice a window lit up brightly from within, but he would rather not think about how this could be.

 

 

(This is also the same house that'll feature an excerpt from an eerie short story written by Spooks.)

That lighting is to die for, masterful work Dragofer!

Spent some time toying with detail texture stage. Something similar was used in first Rage, but it was way, way less subtle. This is only visible when you're really close to a surface:

"No Honor Among Thieves" has a detail textures via material stages, I think the examples in the wiki are based on it.

 

(If you want to compare what Mortem Desino did to what you've done.)

[peter_spy 1384]

Apparently, I'm using the first example from the wiki:

 

{

blend gl_dst_color, gl_src_color

map DetailTexture

scale 16, 16

}

 

Basically it works like Overlay mode in Gimp, so you have to adjust your pattern in order not to make your material too dark or light. I'd rather not use any more complex setups, as every additional stage incurs more base drawcalls. The texture itself is a 512 px dds greyscale, so its impact is minimal. The grain / noise works pretty well with stones, it also sharpens the output material a bit. Not sure about other types of surfaces yet.

Fantastic screenshots everyone! And welcome to the forums krrg!

 

Here are a few of my own from Shadows of Northdale Act 3

So this Crucible mission has found a new purpose? Great!
