I found this website of a museum which allows you too see all it's exhibits online.

http://www.philamuseum.org/visit/54-5.html

 

Click on the "On View" tab, then click on any room in the picture to get the list of stuff in that room. Pretty good pictures and some good ideas for modelers. :)

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Ya, the Philly Art Museum is just down the block from me. It has a very extensive medieval armor and weapons exhibit as part of its permanent display. VERY ornate stuff, some of it.

 

Of course it also has a display of OXO Good Grips gadgets and a statue of Rocky Balboa out front. These are likely less useful for TDM, I'm guessing.

Yup same spot. Right next to the smoke stack. I love living in Fairmont. Thank God the Haunted Penitentiary is done for this year. I was getting tired of the lack of parking.

Photographs are copyright, however there is nothing wrong with using the subject matter as inspiration for your own original in-game creation.

 

Uh guys nobody owns the copyright of the mona lisa and stuff like that, it's in the public domain as most of that stuff is.

Yes, but you couldn't copy a photograph of the Mona Lisa from a magazine, because it would be copyrighted by the publisher.

 

You could, however, take a photograph of the Mona Lisa yourself and do whatever you wanted with it.

If a picture has no watermark and doesn't warn the user that the use of said pictures is illegal, then go for it.

If you don't want to then fine, I'll use them in my maps, if I ever get my hands on the real tools you guys are using.

I'm just discussing the legality of it. What an individual chooses to do is up to them.

 

You could use this one though, apparently it's in the public domain.

 

 

As far as I know, ALL images on wikipedia are free to use and distribute.

Just for information, current US law as decided by Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. court case states:

  • Photographic reproductions of visual works in the public domain are not copyrightable, because the reproductions involve no originality.

This was upheld upon appeal. They say the situation is the same in Germany and in other unspecified countries.

 

Adding a watermark might be "transformative" enough to make it copyrightable, but then by that logic, cloning out or otherwise removing the watermark would probably be enough to give you the copyright on the resulting "new" version.

I've also been a user on the TTLG forum under the same name for a few years (been browsing this forum since its early days), but that forum doesn't show a user number, so who knows if it's a habit?

Tch is right in his answer, since I confronted this same issue not too long ago (and I took Copyright law).

 

Photographs of public domain artwork are also in the public domain *if* the photograph does not add any original elements on top of the artwork ... so if it is basically shot head-on perpendicular to the artwork and the boundaries of the artwork matches the photograph frame, etc.

 

It might be different if it's photographed at another angle, or showing the area around the artwork, or sometimes showing a detail of the painting, anything that could be labeled as a "creative" contribution, and EVEN THEN, the copyright is only for the creative contribution (the angle or the arrangement of the surrounding space). So, e.g., you could arguably crop the photo to just take away the public domain part of it and be ok if none of the creative part remained.

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

Yes, pity it didn't translate into 3d very well.

 

I notice that is often the case. It's as if concept artists in video games are nothing more than sources of inspiration, but really nothing they do gets translated into actual visual design.

      Hey @nbohr1morehow come the zombies in The Dark Mod don't have a "resurrection" mechanic to it, similar to how Thief has it?
      They're quite a weak creature as of right now, it's merely a walking corpse that slashes you, making attacking them to kill them an actual strategy.
      Would be better if they had some cool mechanism to it that truly makes them a danger, such as the resurrection idea itself.

      Query: when was the last time a zombie in a video game was unnerving or scary to you? I'm chipping away at my anniversary submission and I've been trying to gather opinions on the subject. I'm perfectly capable of lighting them well, changing their sfx, and creating effective ambience, but I'm worried that zombies at their core are just too overdone to be an effective payoff to the tension I'm creating.

      Has anyone had any luck with textures from Polyhaven? Their OpenEXR normal maps seem too washed out and give incorrect shading in the engine.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.
