My non-EP textures and the occasional ambient soundtrack will go here.   As of writing, I'm currently in Makarska, Croatia, and will return bearing gifts. I'm already confounding my fellow travellers

So I decided to try out making the door in-game and.. I think it turned out pretty well. What do you guys & gals think? any pointers?

It looks nice, and very close to the original! The woodgrain texture on the sides is oriented wrong, though. It can be fixed by treating the door like this:

Thank you!

 

As for the revisions I have changed a couple of things.. firstly I set the texture to 0.1 scale so it looks more defined.. I split the door frame into your suggestion above and I moved the little corner triangle pieces in a doom unit each side.. this is what it looks like (which looks even better to me).. The only thing I don't like at the moment is the circular part where the door handles go

 

Here's some shots of the new door

Here yer go - mega

 

Oh nice! Thanks man

 

edit: so after testing it out ingame I found it looks a bit strange, have you tested it ingame yet? theres lots of jaggered edges which makes it a bit off putting, especially when its frob highlighted. However i've reverted to my own version of the door which doesn't have the little bits you placed in (which I believe is what causing the jaggered edges) and it looks good so i'll just stick to my one.

 

Thanks for trying anyway though!

Got a screen shot of the issue, it sounds like you dont have AA on...

 

You are correct I do not have AA turned on, I don't usually play games with AA to be honest as I find my resolution is usually fine with handling that. I have noted that not just your door but others seem to have this problem when they are frob high lighted and AA is turned off. But not everyone plays with AA so when testing I usually put the graphics on low to make sure they look good there and then it only scales up.

 

Below are two shots, one of your version and one of mine. The graphic settings on both shots are AA off.

 

However going forward i'm just going to stick with my version, but thanks for your help anyway! :)

 

This is your prefab

Looks great! Nice work.

No program is going to identify every fault and correct them for you. I'll give you an example...

 

6qhmSVr.png

 

Above is a plane. It's a single polygon with four edges and four vertices. It's completely flat.

 

LxkCfTO.png

 

I select the upper right and bottom left vertices. I move them both straight up. I have created an impossible shape. It can't be a plane and not be flat. The vertices are aligned like the uneven legs of a chair; rocking when you shift your weight.

 

It's a non-planar shape and this situation is the reason every piece of 3D software renders geometry as triangles. It's impossible to make a non-planar triangle. Imagine a bar stool with three legs. Uneven legs make the stool crooked but the legs are always planted.

 

So knowing that; even though the triangles are hidden from us we know this "plane" is in one of two states...

hgWrtn7.png

 

Which one is correct? In this case, either is fine. But in practical use maybe it matters which way the program decides to split the plane. Maybe the smoothing looks wrong with the split running from left to right. Sometimes the artist has to specify because the software can't know what looks best.

 

Now I ask you, how does a program that hides all the details from you make it possible to fix this? You've got to crawl before you can walk. It doesn't matter if it's Lightwave, Blender, Max, Maya, whatever. You will run into problems you don't understand and want to rip your hair out. If you persevere it will all fall into place.

 

About eight years ago I knew nothing about modelling. I started with Lightwave and then migrated to Blender. I spent money on video tutorials but in hindsight I didn't need to. I learned everything important in the first month or so from free content. I can help you if you'd like to learn. Ask questions.

Last Croatia batch. I've lots more photos, but I tried to focus on stuff we don't already have a million of already for this final one.

 

Also, here's the requested bunch of old ass conrete and plaster textures: http://goo.gl/photos/oFdxqtGLVdUrg2CD8

That lion texture is certainly a keeper! The winged lion is interesting, but maybe too closely associated with Venice. And I like the old door.

 

Not sure about the concrete. The first one we have in a similar version, while the others are from a category we already have in abundance.

The lion panel and the door for certain. It's hard to tell what the other textures would look like in game once they're tiled. I think Melan is right that we have enough concrete already.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
