So, what are you working on right now?

[jaxa]

Neat. Is that yours?

[Shadowhide]

yeah

exept a vagon model

[Bikerdude]

Nice train SH :-)

[Shadowhide]

thanks

 

its only a test. i hope to make a better looking map with a gameplay and train with all missing train parts

 

 

[jaxa]

This is a good use for lod trees.

[Shadowhide]

This is a good use for lod trees.

 

actually,this is SEED trees

[jaxa]

You can have SEED+LOD. SEED places them, LOD provides detail levels based on distance. Right?

[Shadowhide]

LOD provides detail levels based on distance. Right?

 

yeah,but there is no LOD models for those trees

[jaxa]

Yeah but Nosslak was working on some superior looking LOD trees, I'll link you:

[Shadowhide]

yeah,but those LOD tree models isn't in mod yet

generally not what you want to see when you turn on the lantern.

 

I've successfully created a new mouth attach point for the werebeast crawler, with an appropriate offset for this particular bone. If this functionality is desirable for 1.07 I might be coaxed into modifying a few more chewable toys for easy attachment as well.

[Springheel]

Very cool! Do you know how to set it so he drops it when alerted (assuming you want him to)?

[ungoliant]

that is definitely in my plans, I've seen it in the wiki somewhere, shouldn't be too hard to make him drop it when alerted/killed

[Berny]

NICE!! Very scary

[nbohr1more]

That is awesome Ungoliant!

 

But it also makes me laugh... Who owns the pet were-beast

[grayman]

Alien.

[Bikerdude]

LOL very cool!

[Serpentine]

Finally finished sorting out Melans textures, committed and happily sitting in the TDM repo (Yes I'll give you a list, shh :V)

 

Decided to clean up some large leaf/fern textures I had lying around from a different project which is glacial atm, look pretty food in TDM, these are just using the two reskinned models (the current textures on both are in the shot, yes I dont like either, but I will try replace them with textures that are closer, these were tests)

 

 

Oh, and that wood shingle texture has a nice new normalmap to better show the direction of the shingles (looks pretty damn cool in realistic use, not like this shot)

[SiyahParsomen]

I see nice normals over there. njob is not enough to achieve this kind of result.

 

 

btw. May I ask which tool do you use to create specular maps?

[Serpentine]

btw. May I ask which tool do you use to create specular maps?

I just use Photoshop to isolate the area then level/colourise it - But I verrrry seldom use spec maps, pretty much never. The only thing in that image are two textures you cant really see It looks kinda crap on anything other than metal, wood and some tiles (and special stuff like water).

 

Pretty much all of my stuff is done directly in Photoshop, I use it to come up with heightmaps for the different elements of the texture, then save them out and blend/adjust them when I make the normalmap in SSBump Generator (usually 3-4 levels. But the heightmap usually gives you everything you need, even sometimes to replace the diffuse with a little work.

 

The normals on the larger plant should look a lot better, that model is a pretty bad showcase... but good enough cos I'm lazy

I see. I'll probably skip it then.

Speculars are also good for glass, certain shiny ceramics, and wet stuff. It is pretty good if used with moderation (said Captain Obvious).

[stumpy]

specular causes hilights on surfaces that produce hilights.

everybody know that

[SiyahParsomen]

I already got what I wanted.
