Im working on some maps where Ive added a bunch of custom skins to some assets. I thought I would ask here - once I am done, would there be interest in me sharing these? Or can I even add them to the core repo somehow? So far I have skins for a bunch of loot, particularly jewellery/gems and paintings, and some NPCs. Some of the NPCs I may want to keep for myself, as Ive made new guard skins for the district where my maps are set and I want them to be unique to that district and recognizable as such, but if anyone wanted to set a FM in that part of town Id be willing to share those on an individual basis as well.

 

Edit - the district is inspired by some areas in northern France and the low countries and their style of early modern architecture - see below - so Ive created a lot of colored timber and plaster materials as well that I can share too. On top of that I have a bunch of wallpaper and carpet materials I can share.

 

The inspiration for the Bridgeport district of Northgate:

It's always nice to have more visual variety to choose from when mapping, would be great if you share them! :D

I will upload a .zip of some of what I have so far this weekend and update it regularly as I add more.

 

Edit: Note that I am actually doing all the halftimber buildings in DR so the plaster and timber are separate textures.

A note about loot assets, you don't have to go that low poly with it. It looks more like from Thief 2. At the same time, you have 1024 textures for the material, while the painting texture is 512 px. Pixel density/ratio should be similar across all the surfaces.

Wow, new paintings as well!

 

I really like the guy in picture #3. He looks both terrifying and scared. This will add massively to future horror missions. Oh yeah. :smile:

 

Edit: Would be great, if you could post some shots of your work in the relevant thread, I am really curious to see your efforts so far.

I love the new paintings, and the new wood colors! Those are actually perfect for the environment I'm trying to build. While I always imagined Bridgeport to be dark and grimy, I feel that Braeden would be a bit more colorful and pleasing to look it. Keep us updated with screens of your work!

Its the same res as the ones already in the game, I checked for every .dds I made

 

Edit: and as to the polys I didnt make the models, just reskinned the ones already included in TDM.

Big thumbs up for the Chiaroscuro art, more of that please! :) I think it fits into the TDM vibe so perfectly.

Sure, I can add some more tenebrist/chiaroscuro paintings. I'll put them up tonight or tomorrow. I have some other stuff to compile too.

      I just uploaded a new version of the Visible Player Hands mod. It's been updated for TDM 2.13 and has new animations. Check out the post if you're interested!

      I moved from Manjaro Linux (rolling release) to Linux Mint (LTS). One of the reasons was that I found the updates a bit too often and long. But now on Mint I get updates every day, although they're usually small updates.

      I'd like to track my level design progress a bit more often now, so I'm using the feed in my profile here.
      I've been working intensively on Springheel's YouTube course over the past few days. I'm currently up to lesson 8. There is so much information that needs to be processed and practiced. 
      I have started to create my own house. As I don't have the imagination to create a good floor plan, I grabbed a floor plan generator from Watabou and experimented with it. I chose a floor plan that I will modify slightly, but at least I now have an initial idea. 
      I used two guards as a measuring tape: The rooms are two guards high. It turned out that I can simply double the number of boxes in DarkRadiant in grid size 8 that are drawn in the floor plan. 
      I practiced the simplest things on the floor plan first. Drawing walls, cutting walls, inserting doors, cutting out frames, creating VisPortals, furnishing rooms.
      I have had my first success in creating a book. Creating a book was easier than I thought. I have a few ideas with books. The level I'm creating will be more or less a chill level, just for me, where I'll try out a few things. I don't have an idea for my own mission yet. I want to start small first.
      For the cellar, I wanted to have a second entrance, which should be on the outside. I'm fascinated by these basement doors from the USA, I think they're called Bilco basement doors. They are very unusual in Germany, but this type of access is sometimes used for deliveries to restaurants etc., where barrels can be rolled or lifted into the cellar. 
      I used two Hatch Doors, but they got completely disoriented after turning. I have since got them reasonably tamed. It's not perfect, but it's acceptable. 
      In the cellar today I experimented with a trap door that leads to a shaft system. The rooms aren't practically finished yet, but I want to continue working on the floor plan for now. I'll be starting on the upper floor very soon.

      Ich möchte nun mal öfters ein bisschen meinen Werdegang beim Leveldesign tracken, dazu nutze ich hier den Feed in meinem Profil.
      Ich habe mich in den vergangenen Tagen intensiv mit dem Youtube-Kurs von Springheel beschäftigt. Aktuell bin ich bis zu Lektion 8 gekommen. Das sind so viele Informationen, die erstmal verarbeitet werden wollen und trainiert werden wollen. 

      Ich habe mich daran gemacht, ein eigenes Haus zu erstellen. Da mir die Fantasie fehlt, einen guten Raumplan zu erstellen, habe ich mir einen Grundrissgenerator von Watabou geschnappt und damit experimentiert. Ich habe mich für einen Grundriss entschieden, den ich noch leicht abwandeln werde, aber zumindest habe ich nun eine erste Idee. 

      Als Maßband habe ich zwei Wächter genommen: Die Räume sind zwei Wächter hoch. Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass ich in DarkRadiant in Gittergröße 8 einfach die doppelte Anzahl an Kästchen übernehmen kann, die im Grundriss eingezeichnet sind. 

      Ich habe bei dem Grundriss erstmal die einfachsten Sachen geübt. Wände ziehen, Wände zerschneiden, Türen einsetzen, Zargen herausschneiden, VisPortals erstellen, Räume einrichten.

      Ich habe erste Erfolge mit einem Buch gehabt. Das Erstellen eines Buchs ging leichter als gedacht. Ich habe ein paar Ideen mit Bücher. Das Level, das ich gerade erstelle, wird mehr oder weniger ein Chill-Level, einfach nur für mich, bei dem ich ein paar Sachen ausprobieren werde. Ich habe noch keine Idee für eine eigene Mission. Ich möchte erst einmal klein anfangen.

      Beim Keller wollte ich gerne einen zweiten Zugang haben, der sich außen befinden soll. Mich faszinieren diese Kellertüren aus den USA, Bilco basement doors heißen die, glaube ich. Diese sind in Deutschland sehr unüblich, diese Art von Zugängen gibt es aber manchmal zur Anlieferung bei Restaurants etc., wo Fässer dann in den Keller gerollt oder gehoben werden können. 
      Ich habe zwei Hatch Doors verwendet, die allerdings nach dem Drehen vollkommen aus dem Ruder liefen. Inzwischen habe ich sie einigermaßen gebändigt bekommen. Es ist nicht perfekt, aber annehmbar. 
      Im Keller habe ich heute mit einer Falltür experimentiert, die zu einem Schachtsystem führt. Die Räume sind noch quasi nicht eingerichtet, aber ich möchte erstmal am Grundriss weiterarbeiten. In Kürze fange ich das Obergeschoss an.

      On a lighter note, thanks to my cat-like reflexes, my superior puzzle skills and my perfect memory, I was able to beat the remastered version of "Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation" in a new superhuman record time of 23 h : 35 m, worship me!
