Renzatic Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 It's got my vote. I especially like the 10 cent piece...and and moody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springheel Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 (edited) Why don't we use actual historical coins, to keep the feel of the time period? I found several victorian coins that are ready for use, including this one: http://www.btinternet.com/~petercoins/images/pc41.jpg Edit: a few more: http://www.coinimages.co.uk/images/1871sov...hieldrev240.JPG http://www.coinmag.com/article/20STGAUDENT.gif http://www.georgetown.edu/faculty/ballc/oe...ethelred2-r.gif Edited November 6, 2004 by Springheel 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god_is_my_goldfish Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 I think either way would work, darkness's are pretty good though. Quote http://www.thirdfilms. comA Thief's Path trailer is now on Youtube! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackThief Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 (edited) darkness's coins look good though, but I'd prefer historical coins like springheel's examples. Edited November 6, 2004 by BlackThief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springheel Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 (edited) Here's another cool batch of Egyptian coins...might be neat to include the bottom two for some variety. Perhaps to put in ancient ruin missions. http://www.geocities.com/fareastwonders/CO...ns/egyptian.jpg Edited November 6, 2004 by Springheel 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domarius Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 (edited) Darkness has well and truley proved his artistic ability there. I also agree on using real historical ones as a reference. I hope you don't mind drawing some new ones based on them, even though your original designs look good! Can't fault the actual artwork style at the moment though. (edit)Although... Darkness' ones have a more fanciful look about them - the world of Thief is very fantastic (fantasy-like), and it could suit. Maybe a blend of both Darkness' first ones, and the realistic ones?

Springheel Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 The historical ones are perfectly centered and just waiting to be run through a normalmap filter. There's no point in redrawing them...we just have to choose which ones we like the best.

There's no point in redrawing them...we just have to choose which ones we like the best.well actually no. they still have to be tweaked a bit, cauze auf the reflections. not much work though. I could do that pretty quick. These two are my favorites: Edited November 7, 2004 by BlackThief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springheel Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 (edited) Agreed. One could be silver and one gold. And then there is that funky egyptian one we could always include for foreign coins, if it matters. On second thought, that might be silly...chances are you won't make out any of the details anyway.

BlackThief Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 (edited) here's another nice one, I found, with not so extremly fine detail, like the gold one. Edited November 7, 2004 by BlackThief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springheel Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Ooo, I like this one even better! Let's make that our gold one.

BlackThief Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 I just had an idea - we could write instead of "In Memory of the Good Old Days - 1788" "In Memory of the Good Old Days - LGS" Little easteregg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springheel Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Lol. Be my guest. I don't think anyone will be able to read it in-game though. Too small.

BlackThief Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 yes, it'll be really small ingame, but there're always some crazy guys, who find such eastereggs here we go - reduced the relections and added LGS: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domarius Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 ...There's no point in redrawing them... Well I wouldn't say that... Re-drawing them can give us our own style. And avoid some person playing, going "hey, they ripped off that image from blah", and ruin immersion for them. I remember someone complaining about how the Finnish military (lion) logo appeared in Thief 3. It makes you think these people are just searching the net and using any image that looks "cool". Because that's what it is. It ruins the atmosphere, you stop beleiving as much. It's not super-important, but I wouldn't say there's "no point" in re-drawing them...

Not exactly something that's going to be that noticeable, even if there are history students playing. (the only people liable to recognize coins from the 18th century....)

BlackThief Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 here's my suggestion for the silver coin: I combined one of springheel's coins with mine and added a gear, to make it more thiefy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkness_Falls Posted November 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 (edited) Of the ones posted, I preferred this one most: Was thinking a Hammer symbol could replace the lady.

Springheel Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Looks good BT.

EDIT: On 2nd viewing, maybe it's not a lady. LOL.that'd look cool, too. maybe we can use that for the copper coins.

Darkness_Falls Posted November 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Yep! I was thinking the same, that we should have gold/silver/coppper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
