Springheel 4498 Report post Posted October 19, 2014 I did some updates and fixes on the Builder guard models; there was a lot of chainmail clipping through when in search mode and some sloppy texture work (flat colours used and mismatched diffuse/normal borders). They haven't been updated since they were first created in 2005, and there were a lot of corners cut with the original textures and mesh, so I fixed them up a bit while I was adding two LOD stages. They should look a little crisper with better edges close up now. 6 Quote TDM Missions: A Score to Settle * A Reputation to Uphold * A New Job * A Matter of Hours Video Series: Springheel's Modules * Speedbuild Challenge * New Mappers Workshop * Building Traps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Springheel 4498 Report post Posted November 12, 2014 I'm not sure if XendroX is going to be able to fix his normalmaps, but in the meantime I took his builder bed mesh and redid the uv-map (and resized it so our AI can use it), so it could be textured with existing textures. Made a version with and without the canopy, and it uses multiple skins (with pillows and without). 8 Quote TDM Missions: A Score to Settle * A Reputation to Uphold * A New Job * A Matter of Hours Video Series: Springheel's Modules * Speedbuild Challenge * New Mappers Workshop * Building Traps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heh Arcturus also did up a custom animation for writing for the accountant 2.

Tels 268 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) I've been working on some RITs for AI to do....this one is activated by def_attaching a new prop quill, which triggers the following behaviour for sitting AI: The height works for both regular desks and scribe desks, though it's a bit high for regular tables. Very cool. It would be a bit better if you could have them "dip" the Quill into ink, tho. As it is, it looks quite repeating. Edit: Oh, and they write way too fast. Writing on very expensive parchment or leather skin is a slow, careful task, to avoid errors and have a clean image. It's not a fast "lets scribble something with a pen" we are used to nowadays Edited November 17, 2014 by Tels Quote "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

Bikerdude 3738 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 In addition to Tels comment above, have you tried using the sit and rotate method to get them to sit closer the desk and more centralised on the chair...? Is this in SVN atm, so I can knock up a test map to show you what I mean. Also what arg is used to define writing on a flat desk and a angled one..?

Springheel 4498 Report post Posted November 17, 2014 I did use the rotate method, but I didn't spend much time trying to position them precisely for the video. Also what arg is used to define writing on a flat desk and a angled one..? There isn't one. You just def_attach the new prop quill and everything else happens automatically. I think it's on SVN already, but not the final version, which I will upload tonight.

Springheel 4498 Report post Posted November 22, 2014 Our four chest models are starting to get a little repetitive, so I made a new one based on some stuff I saw at a museum trip last week. Uses existing textures. Prefab is set up so mappers can drop them in fully put together when 2.03 is released. 13 Quote TDM Missions: A Score to Settle * A Reputation to Uphold * A New Job * A Matter of Hours Video Series: Springheel's Modules * Speedbuild Challenge * New Mappers Workshop * Building Traps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bikerdude 3738 Report post Posted November 22, 2014 Looks good, my only critque is the texture on the underside of the lid (to me atleast it just looks odd) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AluminumHaste 947 Report post Posted November 22, 2014 Why, it's quite accurate. I had a chest like that long ago and it had wood just like that. Quote I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bikerdude 3738 Report post Posted November 22, 2014 Maybe its because the darker wood paneling looks like its painted on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Springheel 4498 Report post Posted November 29, 2014 Since we will have access to newer, his res bookshelves in 2.03, I thought we needed some better individual books. The new book skin is on the right. The current model makes poor use of UV space though, so I made a new model as well, on the left. 7 Quote TDM Missions: A Score to Settle * A Reputation to Uphold * A New Job * A Matter of Hours Video Series: Springheel's Modules * Speedbuild Challenge * New Mappers Workshop * Building Traps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
