Guild of Writers

I'm still working... This is the first of the new caves/rooms.

I' am speechless.....

Nice, very nice. Your Age is getting more interesting with each new picture. When is it that we get to visit it?

I only can say.......WOW

Dude! That looks pro.

Texturing-very nice
Lighting looks good, sets the mood.

Looks like you're setting the benchmark for fan-built ages.

Extremely impressive Jonnee and I echo the sentiment already expressed, WOW I'm looking forward in visiting your age in the near future. Just out of curiosity, did you also create the age Jonae and Jonae Hood or was that a different artist?

Thanks, my friends.

Yes, Ashtar. Jonae and the Hood are done by myself too. They are my very first ages.
It's been a long time ago. At that time I was using a complete different way to texture objects. But with the help of alot of good friends in here I could improve my skills. The preview pictures are self explaining.

Aloys, I still can't tell you a release date. I'm not able to work alot on the age. For the last two weeks I'm having a new job in my real life. When I come home I'm mostly very tired. Or sometimes I'm just having a creative writer's block. But for sure there are other days too, when my creativity rushs out my hands. Like yesterday. That room took me just a few hours.

What way are you using now?

I do this what is discribed in the Using stencils tutorial. That allows me to put more than one texture on an object.
In addition I don't paint the shadows on the original picture anymore. Either I'm using the vertex paint for creating shadows on objects that are not affected by any lights or if they are affected by a light then I'm working with lightgroups. Especially inside of the caves/rooms. Working with lightgroups allows me to work with 8 lights within one cave/room.

Yes, Ashtar. Jonae and the Hood are done by myself too. They are my very first ages.

Those were one of the first ages I hosted on my Alcugs server sometime ago, and we had a lot of fun with others in those ages. At the time, I thought it was one of the most visually appealing ages there was, certainly for the tools and techniques you had available to you. It's good to see your skills improve with time and I'm sure we will have some great ages to look forward to in the future
