Furniture Models By Atti

The performance hit is surprisingly little for transparency. I mean yes, if you created one long corridor with 200 gas lights in, you might get some stutter, but not with about 10 at once (and that's quite a high number to be onscreen at once).

[sparhawk]

And a fragment shader for real-time refraction and distortion, of course. That is all in the material. But it means a separate texture for the glass bits, please.

Don't you need to have a seperate model as well then?

[Fingernail]

erm...

[BlackThief]

nice gaslight Atti !

 

BTW here's your low-poly bookshelf with a texture on it...

[Fingernail]

I think I may soon orgasm.

[_Atti_]

wow:) nice work!

[BlackThief]

thx. however there's one problem - I can't export this to ASE, because there're 2 invalid edges...I'm looking for them for about half an hour now - can't find 'em

[oDDity]

That's excellent, I want to see it in game with the normal map!

[BlackThief]

yeah, me too, but I still can't find this 2 damn edges....any advice, how to find them ?

[_Atti_]

what exactly is an invalid edge?

[BlackThief]

I on't know, what it is exactly either. but the ASE export script complains about it...

[_Atti_]

hmm.i've dowloaded the lowres version you made from the hires and found gaps on the back of the shelf..maybe thats the problem

i mean i know its for saving polys but i dont know if d3 can handle it..just remember the leak error if you leave gaps on rooms..(or wtf:) )

 

edit: found another one of these gaps..in that case its a bug:) because it would be visible in-game too..

Your models may not have any gaps. D3 wont handle such models. It als can't have single polygons with double sided texturing.

[oDDity]

Hehe, rubbish)

THere is no problem with one sided polys at all. The picture frame I showed a few days ago is onesided - look at it from the other side and you can't see it. No proble for doom at all.

Models do not have to be airtight. a doublesided poly plain is also no problm, doom just ignores the other side and renders a onesided plain.

I've tested this.

[oDDity]

Are the final model and extures on the FTP, if so I'll get it in the game no problem.

yeah, I also noticed some gaps and fixed them myself. I've to look after those edges this afternoon, but if I can't find it I'll send the textures and the model to you or oDDity, because it'd be faster to redo the whole model instead of checking each edge...

[BlackThief]

finally found those edges - here's the very first ingame shot (still have to tweak the normalmap though)

 

question now is the size - what do you think ? maybe a bit higher ?

[oDDity]

Did you normal map the textus as well - that wood texture could do witha good strong bump. The settings I use are 9x9 and scale 6 for the nvidia plugin.

Still, it's loong very nice.

[BlackThief]

yeah, there's a normalmap for everything. don't know what you exactly mean, with "that wood texture could do witha good strong bump"

do you mean it should be more rough ?

[oDDity]

i just think the wood carving could stand out a little more with a stronger normal map - what setting do you use?

 

edit: of course, it's hard to judge from a still, I'd need to see it ongame, is it on the FTP?

I'm making a folder on the FTP for finished, game ready models only.

[BlackThief]

it's not finished yet. the normalmap of the books sucks - I'll upload it, when I'm finished with this...

[Springheel]

Looks great, BT! I agree with oDDity that the normalmap for the wood might look better if it were a bit stronger. I think you're right about the height...it should probably be about a foot higher or so, so that you have to look up at the top shelf.

[BlackThief]

ok, I tweaked the normal a bit - the books turn out much better now

[BlackThief]

hope you guys don't have anything against good old german literature

[sparhawk]

I think you're right about the height...it should probably be about a foot higher or so, so that you have to look up at the top shelf.

We should have differently sized shelves anways. Some waistheight, some like this and some very large ones suitable for libraries. And we should probably have some varieties on the textures with cuts and such.
