Bathroom soap!

Next in the "inspired by Thief" series. Nothing communicates quiet desolation or abandonment quite like dead potted plants.

You're a modelling machine!

 

Tres Nice!

That is actually higher quality than ThiAf's models. Man Springs, every model you release gets better and better. How does it feel to be on such a roll? I bet it has to feel great! When things go well, then go great, must be an awesome feeling!

Just don't burn yourself out. <3

Now if we had a old skin to match those for your empty bookshelf model that would awesomeness indeed.

 

Very impressive looking plant pots mister, I can see a few of these being placed outside doors, windows and small gardens..

[Springheel]

Thanks guys.

 

How does it feel to be on such a roll?

 

Heh. I think modelling has been my way to escape the stress of kitchen renovations the last few weeks. And SirGen deserves some credit too--his helping me with my hardware issue gave me a definite morale boost.

It looks like 2.03 is shaping up to be the "new models" release.

[Springheel]

When I start to burn out on props I'll move onto AI.

[Goldwell]

Something of the mechanical variety would be awesome

[Springheel]

Not likely from me...mechanical things are not my forte. Can't draw them; can't model them.

What would you like to have. (pictures?!)

So you want a giant sizes version oif the steambot..? that rather than make a noise fire explosive cannon balls..?

[Goldwell]

Well something like that yeah, no offense to whoever made the steambot but it's pretty lame and not very intimidating (which shouldn't be the case for security machinary in my view) something a bit more powerful or even something that shots firearrows would be cool and would make for some pretty interesting situations as you try to avoid both being hit and the light generated from the fire arrows.

There are plenty of threads discussing possible steampunk designs, but T2 robots don't fit the bill.

[Goldwell]

I'm curious Springheel what did you have in mind when you said you would work on AI if you were burnt out on props? did you mean model wise or something else? and did you mean human/undead/animal?

[Springheel]

Many of our AI need some updating, and LOD should allow for much greater detail at close range. No more square fingers or sharp butts.

 

I also have a new female AI I'd like to rig and get in game for 2.03.

[Obsttorte]

@Goldwell: So you want an mechanical ai. That's a bit beyond my skills, though

[SteveL]

@Goldwell: Heh no dissing the steambot! I love it and it's much more fitting imo than anything more futuristic

 

@Springheel: Those plants are way better than the ones you used for inspiration. Good going! Very much looking forward to seeing your ideas on AI realised.

Something simple lead to something fun the last couple days.

 

First, a little 'inspired by Thief' project resulted in me making a new shelf (two sizes, multiple wood skins) that required a new rivet strip texture (image 1). Then, I started thinking about what else I could do with that rivet texture, and I thought of Builder furniture. Since Xendrox never finished that Builder bed, I took a crack at one.

[Springheel]

Here's the bed. I made a new version of the wood panel texture with a builder symbol, but otherwise it re-uses existing textures (and the rivet strip...builders love rivets). I'll probably do a version that has a canopy on top, but I think this works well on its own. I'll make the pillar available as a separate model as well.

[Melan]

I am happy about the new shelf. The ones in TDM were generally a bit too ornate for less wealthy places.

 

Can the bed have alternate covers? I assume a lot of Builders would prefer a coarse, simple blanket as a form of penance.

Ah yes, we did need some other shelf models - nice work there mister.

Looks like a much simpler version of the kings sized four poster I made, talking of which could you have a look at that(there is a prefab and a .ase model) and see if any tris can be saved.

New Builder stuff is cool.

 

I have a Builder church in the Steele series, so it'll be fun filling it with new Builder stuff.
