Well, DRD and Hellsing aren't that important... so you can dump them

skadoomer wrote:this particulair texture was done with a noise base with the plastic wrap filter attached to it. Then it was blended togather with layer blending options. Finally, i combined it with a previous texture (which looked like wood rings) and put it through lighting effects to knock the channels up a bit, giving it more of a 3d look. I think the finishing toutch was the exclusion blend with another layer, giving it a gray background but keeping the brown foreground.

Because i'm a very lazy texture artist, i often make several textures that have variations created by blending techniques. This particulair texture is from a set of about 6.

I don't suppose I could get a look at some of your PSDs or better insight into your texture creation process? I'm always looking for new methods to do things.

Lot's of new things. But this is getting better and better

I will say again that this project excels and that I am willing to provide support in any method I can. Actually, it looks like I possess the necessary skill to fill any of the positions, however it is time I worry most about.

Though as far as blog styling, sorry - the only blog I'm familiar with is the one I built.

are you volenteering then or just enthusastic about your abilities?

Time wise, i work quickly. This project has a deadline that is constantly being met on a day to day basis. As i write this, i've nearly completed the section of the map where the mushroom shots came from.

I am actively looking for a mapper however to build, if nothing else, the base to one of my levels. I have a section where the player goes underwater and navagates through a long set of caverns and open areas. I honestly don't have the time to build it from scratch myself, so if people team up to build the passsage it would save so much time on my part that i could do all the other things myself. Granted i'll wind up doing the textures this weekend anyway, so forget that position.

As far as blogging goes, i found a skin that simplifies the system down to the bare basics. This way people can make anonomus posts about what they like or hate about the project. All i have to do is figure out how to change the colors to match the palette of the website.

I'm saying that I'd like to volunteer, though I'm afraid I don't have a lot of time to put toward it right now. I'm trying to get KDIZD out the door! However, I'd really like to help if there does happen to be something I can do.

New bump, new update, and since DW hasn't updated their site yet, i'll continue to use my shameless promotion here. So head over to http://www.foreverhood.com for whats going on.

But, since most of you are lazy, i'll make this easy. here are the new shots:

Those are really sexy. If we had dynamic lighting in ZDoomGL and ZDoomGL supported the current version(s) of ZDooM then those shots would look a helluva lot better even.

The interesting and amazing thing about this project is its irreality

The places and locations look like parts in a fable or a tale

GeeDougg · Post by **GeeDougg** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 10:17 pm

Which is ironic, because in terms of overall look and feel they're still somewhat closer (IMFUBARO) to real life than, say, the average E1-style tech-base DooM map.... I mean come on, how often have you seen THAT in real life?

Nmn · Post by **Nmn** » Sat Feb 12, 2005 4:34 am

That's amazing! I'm looking forward all the time.

Surrealistic beats realistic any day

. Whats with all these crappy military and army games? So boring with their realistic plots and all that... we want more surreal environments/stories

i was gonna go on a big long rant but i'll just cut it short, hold my tongue, and just say "i agree".
