Looks far better than the Unity version to me :wub: (other then where it touches the street).

 

Might be a good idea to include a tiny "grime sidewalk" around the base of these to make street

to building transition less clean and stark looking?

 

It's becoming a visual peeve of mine now since I noticed the stark street to building contrast in

Lord Edgar's Bathhouse then again whilst playing The Alchemist.

Thanks. :)

Yeah, I plan to have transition pieces for things like that; just haven't gotten to them yet. And I'll probably make some street modules eventually so they're not so flat.

White stones aren't good for street though. The building is really nice. But too much detail per piece could become monotonous pretty quickly. Better to have small sections that can be cobbled together many ways.

Like the main building, without the window segments. And separate window segments that can be added or not, lit or unlit?

 

That could be three buildings. The right side tunnel segment. The middle without windowoverhang segment, and the left segment. Then they can all be rearranged differently. (and the window overhang segment)

 

I don't think sidewalks make much sense, how many horse pulled carts are there?

That's all placeholder, the main focus is on the building... I wouldn't pay much attention to anything else in the shot

And his screenshots are showing all the variety in one shot.

In a real scene, a mapper could tone down the detail with more windowless walls, etc., whatever is best for the scene.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

Thy look good! I see these are all (or mostly) standard-sized modules. Add them to regular brushwork, and the possibilities will be much broader.

 

I don't think they necessarily need modelled bases.Those are fairly easy to make from brushes.

He's not talking about an actual sidewalk, just something where the base of the building meets the street so it's not a perfect 90 degree angle.

You may have missed earlier discussions on this topic, but it's not one big building. All the pieces are modular.

They're basically single faces, just like the interior pieces I was showing earlier, with the exception of a few things like the roof pieces and extension pieces. I'll also be including pieces that have holes for windows/doors for mappers to insert their own (possibly enterable) ones. I'll post another couple images to make it clearer when I get home.

 

In the meantime, maybe this will help. The blue and green sections are examples of individual wall facades that only face forward. The red portions are fully modeled "add ons" that are meant to back onto an existing piece. Pieces like the archway and the roof include both the forward face and the top roof/ceiling portions (although there are also pieces that are just the front). By mixing and matching the various pieces you can achieve all kinds of different building constructions, not to mention the skin options.

With retextured variants, that's multiple times as long as we first see . Well done!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
