A Christmas present 2011

[Arcturus]

 

Hi. For the last moth I've been secretly working on a small surprise. It's yet another demo showing some possibilities of the game engine. It's a small map with no objectives, but I hope you'll enjoy it.

 

Don't press escape after the mission starts or you will miss all the fun

I just know this'll be badass. I wish I had time to play with this. Thanks Arcturus! Merry Xmas!

[Fidcal]

Nice one Arcturus! Yeah it was a surprise! Just wondering if

the new character could be reskinned and used in other FMs

but not had time to check it out in DR yet!

 

Well done!

[SiyahParsomen]

That was sweet.

 

Merry Xmas all!

[Bikerdude]

[Bikerdude]

how did you make that custom light/shadow for the floor - that is extremely cool!

[demagogue]

That was really cute. Thanks for making it.

Merry Christmas!

[Berny]

very nice.

The effect in the window was brilliant!!!!

[PranQster]

Can't wait to check this out, but it will have to wait until after family time & dinner etc.

[Nosslak]

A video would've been nice. I'll check it out later.

[Thiefette]

Merry Christmas to everyone! All the best in the New Year! Loved the effect out the window.

[nbohr1more]

OMG!

 

Does this demo show a Cubemap \ Interior mapping style effect (well... in this case it would be exterior mapping) ?!?!

 

Must try this tonight!

[Theothesnopp]

Had a great laugh, really did'nt expect that.

 

Merry Christmas!

[Sotha]

Very nice!

Thanks!

Merry Christmas!

[Arcturus]

Thanks to all

It would take more than just new texture as I made custom rig.

I made it in Blender. I imported the models, copied their exact position, created light source in the same place as in DarkRadiant and then baked the shadows and ambient occlusion. Then I placed planes with that baked shadows as decals in the map.

Hm, there are cubemaps but it's nothing new. They're described here: http://wiki.thedarkm...title=Cube_maps

[nbohr1more]

Thanks!

 

I'll check it out as soon as I can.

[grayman]

Brilliant!

 

Thanks.

[PranQster]

Very cool indeed. I not only enjoyed the effect out the window, but the edges of the glass as well.

[Sir Taffsalot]

This really was a nice Xmas present. Thanks!

@Arcturus, are the FS in the little map free for use by the community..? as it would very cool to use the tree, fireplace, wall, windows etc..

[Arcturus]

You may use them as you wish.
