Very easy to compartmentalize that one.

I'm thinking of patches, looooooooooooooooooooooots of patches

[Bikerdude]

We can do that in DR, maybe not as fast but easy enough.

Found an account on twitter that looks interesting called Steampunk Tendencies https://twitter.com/Steampunk_T

Thieves highway, anyone?

^ that's the kind of thing I had envisioned for my first FM but the long view distances as you know are a no-no. :\

That Soul tear has been at it again, bloody awesome -

Couldn't it be done if everything across the river was a skybox?

Some great texture work there.

Well then, this should be easier to visportal:

 

 

(I said easier, not "easy"! )

[Bikerdude]

Hmm whats behind that metal door yonder....

I recently realized how Jin-Roh and his maze of vast, partially well lit up sewers and what lay between impacted my mind when it comes to fantasizing a Thiefesque universe :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On this matter William Steele 2 and 3, the first Accountant mission and Penny Dreadful 1 did a great job with sewers and making them more than stinking corridors...

These are the pictures from Athos. I suggest reading about it for it's a palce like no other! It's like a second vatican, but more fantasy like!

It's a polish website but you can just click on whichever picture you like to see it, or use the button "następne" which is in small red font above the picture.

So I took a train down to the Manchester Christmas Markets yesterday. I spent most of my time buying lunch again and again as I kept getting drawn in by the smell of a million and one fresh German excuses to eat too much meat at once on a bun. One thing I did bring back with me was an awesome hand-made book. It's loosely bound in leather and contains really pulpy paper, so much so that I could write creepy stuff in it and convince a museum it was centuries old. New TDM sketch book? I do believe so!

Looks kind of mystical to me, with the pentagram and what not.

[nbohr1more]

Time to make some normal maps...

Looks kind of mystical to me, with the pentagram and what not.

With my messy planning style it'll probably end up looking like those fictitious alchemical journals you get dotted around the intertubes, so close enough!

I believe there were some images from Vanishing of Ethan Carter awhile back but here's some updates:

I guess they use this real pain-in-the-ass photo source method which looks great but take eons to get into game...

 

(Seems like either the post-process blur is way too high or the uploader up-scaled the images too much...)

 

Still, some familiar terra cognita with little hints of steampunk and undead here and there...

[Bikerdude]

Those last two shots are supreb.

[Obsttorte]

The lighting is awesome

[Bikerdude]

Get a load of this, that I found on here

 

[grayman]

No, Biker, you cannot have that. (Don't you wish, though?) Who the hell thinks these things up?

[kyyrma]

At least some of those photos are from London waterworks, right? There was an episode on their creation in BBC's 7 Wonders of Industrial World.

 

Absolutely brilliant series by the way, with a lot of striking imagery.

[Bikerdude]

No, Biker, you cannot have that.

LOL, but man it would be awesome to work on, the next water works building I make in DR will be based on the above location and MACHINE!

 

here is a shot of the underside of it -
