Window Models Request

[BlackThief]

Since we decided to make some outside windows with models instead of just textures I guess it's time to start working on them instead of creating other minor important stuff.

 

Here're some inspiration pictures from T2 windows:

 

As soon as you've got a high and low-poly model I can help you texturing the model

 

Maybe that's a task for V.D. and Atti ?

[_Atti_]

ok i will make the models high&low:)

[V.D.]

Ok. i´ll give it a try...

[_Atti_]

sorry not having much time..i started,nearly finished the one on the bottom...

others are free for all..till i have some more time:) probably i will be busy till weekend..

[V.D.]

ok revising not worth to show...

they look good, but I was actually looking for outside window-frames, that can't be 'faked' with a texture, like the ones I posted before. your models are rather flat - they could actually be done with just a texture.

[_Atti_]

a window

still not having much time..

THAT's what I was looking for looks pretty good. just one thing - I'd make the frame a bit thicker.

Looks great!!

When designing the windows, shall we syncrhonize them to have similar width? IMO that will make it easier to apply frobable shutters (which already would work).

[New Horizon]

Good idea Spar, that should make things easier.

[sparhawk]

So who will synchronize that?

well not sure, if we should really do that. I'd like to have a variety of window-sizes, otherwise everything will look the same. how many shutters did you see in thief anyway ? and BTW the shutters could be done like a door in the editor anyway, so you can size them however you like.

We probably only have to worry about that for certain kinds of windows. Obviously stained glass cathedral windows wouldn't need shutters, and many other types of windows might only have decorative shutters rather than functional ones.

 

What might be best is if one person handled all of the windows that might need shutters, so that they can keep the size the same. Atti, would you like to volunteer for that? We probably only need two or three different windows with frobbably shutters for the mansion pack.

You still can do that nevertheless. Providing default sizes are just that. You are not limited to them anyway.

in which direction?

[BlackThief]

I think the sideparts could be a bit thicker, but maybe it's just the perspective.

I'm still not sure about that - I couldn't figure out how to resize an object in D3 radiant yet.

[Fingernail]

I dunno that you can in Radiant...I certainly can't.

You have to create doors and windows somehow. So you can create custom doors or not. That doesn't really change anything. And it has nothing to do with resizing.

DOORS and MODELS aren't the same in D3 you can create a door with a brush --> you can make your door how big you want it to be. models CAN'T be resized.

[sparhawk]

And what exactly does that have to do with us providing preconstructed windows with shutters? I never was talking about resizing.

IMHO we don't have to synchronize the window-width, cauze the shutters can be done with normal D3 doors, which can have any size.....

[sparhawk]

Seems you are talking in circles. The point was NOT that it can not be done, the point was that we provide ready made doors and windows and there is a reason to it. First, we need to set sound propagation values, and second this would ensure a consistent door and window size for most FMs. This will NOT prevent FM authors from making their own, though.

Nice work VD.
