WIP: Age 2 - Eh'ko

[D'eux]

Ok, I've gone one better than the additional screenshots and put up a teaser video. Apologies for the quality, but online FLV streaming conversion really kills the detail:

Eh'ko - Age Teaser Video

A nice detail that doesn't really come across unless you actually explore the Age and that is that the water in the pool is semi-transparent too and you can see the bottom of the stone basin. Definitely something I want to take advantage of later! I'm also at a stage of writing in some flora to the Age that adds yet another dimension - further screenies when that's done.

Enjoy,

Oh my god

Duex, can you see if there's a way to make moving skies? That would add the nicest touch to it too.

I absolutely love it. It's so smooth, so natural. And yet, it has the look and feel of a Cyan Age. This is absolutely brilliant, man.

Is the final age gunna be bigger than this crater/depression? If so, I'd LOVE to see what you've got in mind. If you'd like to bounce ideas of someone sometime... you know where to find me XD

:BIG ROUND OF APPLAUS!!:

OUSTANDING!!

You've expertly captured a good chunk of Age and Realism there! You are to be commended......I only have one question left.....


When are you FINALLY going to give the rest of us lessons?????

Really! I think just about EVERYONE on here would appriciate even the smallest post by you here or there on how you did something. Like a journal of sorts. I don't want to copy your Age of course, but I'm NOT ashamed to say I WOULD copy your techniques without batting an eyelash!

So spill da beans.......

OH, P.S.....I just posted your video over at the Maintainers guild.....I can hear the drooling now.....I told them I was begging you for lessons.....

D'eux, first off, very nice.

Second, I think you should post your screenshots and video over at the main MOUL forum. I posted a joke photoshop image over there and I received several calls to develop it into a full blown story, despite the fact it was clearly a joke. The point is, I think the community is in a state of desperation for content with the cavern off limits. I think these would serve to give hope to the community that there is active work being done toward Uru's future.

I also echo Andy's feeling that it would be worth while for you to write a couple tutorials on texturing and lighting. These are two areas that can be difficult for newcomers to develop skills in, yet can make or break the look of an age.

Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day,
teach a main to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime.

Send this stuff to Cyan, dude XD

I'm sure you have a FCA by now, or you should. But seriously, if you don't post the video on MOUL forums, one of us (possibly andy, seeing as he's done it on GoMa forums) prolly will XD

[D'eux]

Glad you like it folks, and I too am pleased with the way it's coming together.

I'm happy to post something over at the MOUL forums of course - I don't use them myself, so any suggestions as to which section would be best?

can you see if there's a way to make moving skies? That would add the nicest touch to it too.

I really don't see moving skies as a problem and it's on the list to at some point. I think Andy already has made progress on that front, proving it's completely doable.

I'd be happy to write some tutorials, only I have very little time and what I do have is pretty much spent writing this Age If I can find some time, I'll see if I can put some stuff together - no promises though!

General Discussion would be a nice place to post.

It's really for anything, so just say "Hey, I worked on this Age outside of MOUL with Blender and didn't use game textures. Whaddaya think?"

You didn't use Cyan textures, right?

[Owehn]

Wow, that's amazing!

The "The Guilds" or "Creativity" subforums at MOUL would probably be appropriate for reposting.

[Ai'ron]

I saw this thread and I just had to register to say that this is completely and utterly amazing. You have a talent, D'eux. I'd say props, but that doesn't quite cut it. Here's another newborn fan of your work eagerly awaiting the next update.

[D'eux]

Thanks Ai'ron, and welcome to the Guild of Writers. I hope to post some more updates before long.

I have posted a thread over at MOUL, in the 'Creativity' section as I thought this would be the most appropriate area. Thanks for notifying the GoMa too Andy.
