So, what are you working on right now?

[Baal]

A little sign of life from me.

Instead of finishing a vertical contest mission I decided to work on my previous map (that, by the way, started as a contest entry too. I suck at contests. )

 

WIP:

[nbohr1more]

Can we get a tentative title for the Upcoming Fan Missions wiki?

 

Thanks.

[Baal]

Ok, let's call it "Shrewd observer".

[nbohr1more]

Thanks.

 

Wiki Updated!

[SneaksieDave]

Shi... well the fact that it's using the exact same textures (from the stones for walls to the columns to the stairs) as my tomb themed place is both encouraging and scary. Perhaps it's testament to how good those textures are.

 

Looks great, Baal.

[Baal]

Perhaps. Or maybe I snuck in and stole your ideas. That's how it's done in this game.

Wikified!

looking very good Baal.

 

Stumpy nice pics..

[Mortem Desino]

I think I'll join in on the onslaught of pretty, pretty, pictures. This is my WIP, put on hold momentarily. No title.

 

Deep pits are deep. Creepy pits are creep.

 

 

 

Volumetric poo, crap, eww, yuk, sludge, muck, and crud in the sewerwater. Guess what happens if you try to dive in?

 

 

Your hotel room for the next 7 days comes included with hourly room service, hot baths, and a bed specially tailored just for you!

 

 

 

What Arnold Schwarzenegger would look like in TDM setting?

Answer: Yes, but he definitely won't sound like it. Just a few more vocal takes, and then spend some time incorporating it into a soundshader and entity def.

[Baal]

Hey, I recognise the place from the second and third pics.

 

Good to see something done with the community map. It had some nice parts that should see the the light of day in some form.

Whooo, nice Mortem, but watch out, your place seems to be haunted. And since NHAT I can´t wait to see that forest area shown on the last shot. Nice blooper, at least the last voice I know too well.

I'm currently working on a tablecloth. I think this is about as good as I can get the edges. Only done this one corner. I need to extend the long length which means adding columns not just dragging. I think I can clone and rotate this but I'll still have to do the other two corners manually.

[SneaksieDave]

Wow! Looks fab.

 

That and Pandora's Box are shining examples of what can be done with patches -- so perfectly blending into the world you don't pause and say "oh, patches, gee... ", you just take it as part of the world.

[Bikerdude]

LOL Fids, just how many verts did you have play with to get that effect, and will it become a prefab..?

[Fidcal]

My fingers are bleeding from dragging verts around Biker! More than I care to remember because I did it different ways. First the top cloth I put curves down at the edges. That didn't work because the angle didn't match somehow. Then I tried separate bevels. That didn't work for the same reason. Then I put the curved edge on the top of the vertical drops so the far edge was exactly horizontal and that is tolerable so I've gone with that. I don't know if the very corner edge is right because it is so tiny I couldn't see what I was doing so I just tied some verts in a knot and hoped nobody could see it.

 

@Sneaksie: Who was it over at ttlg after launch said Dark Mod was boxy and not organic enough. Not much! Try our onions sez I.

 

Now all this reminds me; do you remember in Thief 2 there was a set of model furniture all draped in dust cloths? Now that would be a challenge.

 

Damn! Now I've just extended the long edge and there's an artifact - a lone dark line along the top. It seems to be within the top cloth which is just a simple flat patch.

 

[Baddcog]

I think maybe you have a floating patch, and accidental clone that is facing the table and you can't see it.

[Fidcal]

Yes, what it is I have a shadow texture because under the table because I am inside the table's bounding box the lantern wasn't working somehow. So I gave the table noshadows and put in a patch or brush of shadow texture. But I'd forgotten - I'd dragged it half way down the table so I could see what I was doing and also it got filtered out! Leastways, it starts right at that point so it must be that.

 

I'm also curious to see how this tablecloth looks with the lace decals.

[Fidcal]

Yes, very interesting and effective. Need a new tiling lace decal methinks but in principle it could be good.

 

[SneaksieDave]

!!

[Nielsen74]

That´s looking god Fids, looking real god

[Bikerdude]

!!

Exactly...

You should export that to a 3d modeling program, make it a whole new modem with the table and cloth. BTW it looks fantastic!

Yeah, it would be cool to have prefabs or model tables with table cloth. Or even a tutorial how to do tablecloths.

 

Fids, when I looked first the thumbnail image for the first tablecloth image, I thought it was a photo of a real table with tablecloth as a mapping aid. Well done!
