Title: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on March 22, 2007, 05:24:59 pm: At Karyuu suggestion I am creating a gallery of my renders so you don't have to go looking all over for my stuff. The first pic is my first attempt at a ring. It a blood ruby ring and it gives a boost in strength, but at what cost? :whistling: Soon I will be posting Illysia's character model. :lol:
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Narure on March 22, 2007, 05:32:08 pm: I cant wait to see that model. Maybe you could post your previous work here aswell? Just for easy finding.

Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery - Finally the Illysia Character Model
Post by: Illysia on March 26, 2007, 08:40:13 pm: Well I finally finished Illysia' character model. There are few differences between pictures because I forgot to add some stuff in like *cough* her ears. :whistling: Anyway I hope you like the model.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Eliseth on March 27, 2007, 01:46:10 am: wow! let me be the first to congratulate you on your character model, it really is good stuff. \\o// :thumbup:

Post by: peeg on March 28, 2007, 05:10:26 am: Looks nice!
The only thing that seems a bit off is her hip, seems a bit .. well let's say "large" ;)
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: John80sk on March 28, 2007, 05:44:38 pm: looks pretty good, just throw a good texture on it :)

She does have quite a thin waist for the size of those hips and shoulders though...
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on March 28, 2007, 09:27:51 pm: ;D Yeah the waist is made to be stylised but as for the shoulders... She's a miner and can carry 300 kilos. I'm pretty sure sure the shoulders and arms would be on the bulky side. :lol: Besides I didn't want her to be a just a bulky girl, thicker than most fenkis but not unshapely.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Idoru on March 29, 2007, 06:12:46 am: I know its probably best practice to comment on your most recent renders but im just totally blown away by that ring. It looks almost perfect. all in all, some very nice work :D
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on March 29, 2007, 08:16:18 pm: Thanks but the ring was one of the easiest pieces to make. It took very little modelling and the rest was texturing with shaders from Max although the glass shader for the gem part was a pain to hassle with. It still didn't look right to me, the gems look too dark to say light is hitting them.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Proglin on March 30, 2007, 06:09:57 am: I'm very eager to see some more of this Illysia! It sure looks wonderful! Can't comment yet, but trying to learn real fast so I can xD
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Fyre on March 31, 2007, 08:48:18 pm: Very nice work! And why does it not surprise me to see included a table set with food.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on April 03, 2007, 07:57:02 pm: ;D Well I wouldn't call that food but there will be a banquet type render coming up soon. Here are a few pic of the food models. All made in Max.

In this pic there is the serving platter, cooked bird (I don't think PS has turkeys), orange, pomegranate, eating utensils, celery, kiwi, watermelon, radish, cucumber slice, and cherry tomato.

Here is some of the food from the pic above and a carrot, drinking goblet, plate for eating out of, mango, banana pepper, and green apple.

Lastly for the food is the steak, green grape, olive and the fish. I know that is in RL not the kind of fish you eat but I didn't want to make another fish and have to texture it.

I did all the textures for the food myself (except for the banana and fish).

And last of all for the post is Illysia in one of the gardens at the charm school in Oja. Illysia attended a charm school when she was younger. She still returns from time to time to friends that she made there.(and as an excuse to dress up. ;D )

Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery

Title: Illysia's new model and her dress for the Ball in Printh
Post by: Illysia on May 10, 2007, 10:02:46 pm: Here is the dress that Illysia will wear to the Royal Ball in Printh. It is a dress made of regular quality material. Illysia isn't wealthy so she has the equivalent to a cotton dress. In spite of the material, the dress maker put a lot of time and effort into the design of the dress especially the train. The dyers of the dress insist that the colors of the dress are supposed to be that way but Illysia thinks that they really goofed it :whistling: and just won't admit it. ;D Also there are pictures of the three rings Illysia has. There is the ring to summon her pet, a Crystal Ring, and a Golden Ring. The later two rings were gifts to Illysia and she wears them all the time. In the pic that shows her face closely you can see the silver earcuff on her left ear. It wasn't until later that I remembered that that is supposed to be on her right ear.

Probably, it was made using a tutorial in class. I modeled it somewhat after my own hand though. (The tutorial was for making a guy's hand.)
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on July 02, 2007, 03:52:16 pm: Here is Illysia's latest ball gown. After fighting with Max and Photoshop to make a suitable 3d texure for Illysia's dress I went ahead and just made a pic of her new dress with photoshop. This was my first time shading and I can tell I made a lot of mistakes but I think it turned out well enough. I usually don't do 2D stuff and maybe I should stick to that policy. :sweatdrop:

(http://www.geocities.com/silverlynxgirl/Ball_Dress_2_front_illysia.jpg)

After much worry about what dress she was going to wear for the ball Illysia finally found her dress. While wandering the streets of Hydlaa she pass a dress store and decided to go in. After much disappointing browsing Illysia was ready to give up but decided to look once more. Much to her satisfaction she found a mint green dress to her liking. It was not the most elaborate dress but it would do...
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Josellis on July 06, 2007, 04:43:45 am: I would just recommand one thing, make your 3d models a little more natural. In 3ds max I think there is a thing to randomly deform your object, maybe apply this to some models (a little bit of course, just to add some irregularities).

Post by: Lolitra, Celorrim Purrty Twins on July 08, 2007, 04:06:45 am: Lovely, I did not see you at the ball, though I did look for you, it may be because it was so crowded, or that it was during my most inconvenient computer crash that you came... never-the-less it is beautiful.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: LigH on July 08, 2007, 08:37:30 am: Indeed, we missed a few friends at the ball.

But we will meet later.

Count on it!

Post by: Illysia on September 11, 2007, 08:34:40 pm: Ok, it's time for lazy me to post. ;D Here is a picture of the outfit Illysia first wore when she arrived in hydlaa for the first time. It recently resurfaced again do to Illysia running out of clean leathers. To those who know Illysia, such an outfit might seem out of place.

Illysia herself is a blurry version of her new 3d model but the outfit was photoshoped on. :)

Well I don't know about all that. Karyuu is probably a better person for that. : ) Anyway, I am on a roll now. Here is another dress. In light of the rather cold rainy weather we have had as of late, here is a dress with lace and fur trim. I had fun making the fur. :P It's kinda hard to see but it has a lace train with a fur trim.

Sure, go ahead. After all... Illysia has connections back in Oja with some clothes makers and they usually come through for her. She will probably cut a deal with them so she can wear the green dress to the ball. ; )

Hmm... That is odd. I don't know why they wouldn't show up.

Here, for those that can see the pictures, is what will be Illysia's everyday outfit. It is a leather corset and overskirt with a cotton shirt and underskirt. There is also a matching leather choker as well as a the pin signifying that she is part of the House of Purrty. If you look close you can see the emeralds that make up the eyes of the fenkis on the pin. : )

Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on October 05, 2007, 07:25:30 pm: Well, this isn't Illysia's everyday outfit right now. She just wears her leather armor right now and she likes it, but she doesn't think it entirely appropriate. Since she will probably be functioning in new circles now, she felt that she needed something classier without sacrificing her more common roots. After all she is still the same relatively rough around the edges Illysia. : ) This outfit was the compromise. She still wears leather in a nod to her previous attire, but she doesn't look like she just rolled out of the wilderness after fighting ulbers or mining. If she is to help others in proper behavior and so on, then she needs to be a good example. :D I will eventually get around to updating her description to reflect the new outfit... eventually... :sweatdrop:

Anywho... Here is a new dress. It is a wrap dress of sorts. It has a satiny material to it this time.

Well, maybe I should call it "try todo" list, since I'm quite new to 3d modelling. If you play with the thought of having your models PS-compatible, you may want to try to export them to CS.

Post by: Illysia on July 02, 2008, 07:17:04 pm: Well, thanks to the prodding of Velh, I turned my attention back to dress making. Here is yet another design. :) I decided to have a female Ylian model this time. The outfit is trimmed in gold vine links that the top of the shirt and scarf. The hip scarf is pinned by a rose pin made out of lumium and iron that has gone green. I think that is called patina. The leaf has a little gold vein through it's middle.

Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on October 31, 2008, 02:09:20 am: HIya! I've got something to post finally. As Illysia(the character) is a cook and often entertains, I suggested as a new feature plates as containers. Now it may be a while before anyone gets around to trying to code that, but I got an idea for the interface. I did a quick photoshop concept art thingie. :D

The squares are slots for food items so that when a person examined the plate, they could see what food is "on" the plate, and the person cooking can arrange the dish how they want.(i.e. grilled kikiri with applesauce) This would allow more freedom and creativity when arranging dishe;s as to make a dish now, you have to strictly follow the recipe for that dish.. The slots don't look very good but that's because I blatantly ran out of ideas by that point. :-[

It is very technical so far but I know it doesn't have to be. The recipe for mixed nuts proves that. It gives you a guide, but there is more than one ingredient combination that make it. And as for the ornamentation, Thanks. :-[

I found a plate online with a gold border so I did that. Then I though it would look better rimmed with gold on the out side. The Red part was a last minute addition and it didn't go around the plate as well as I wanted. There is a spot where it doesn't line up like it does around the rest of the plate. The borders were the hard part. I had to practically hand place each piece of it. The gold border took the longest time.

Well, this would be mostly for holding complete parts of a meal. Like a plate with morning bread, scrambled eggs, crumbled cheese for the eggs) and maybe mashed joopiner berries. The scrambled eggs and morning bread are complete, but the mashed joopiner berries and crumbled cheese could be used in other recipes.

Maybe in the very middle of the plate there should be a textbox that would work like a little book. It would allow you to describe the meal on the plate and it's arrangement. This would be nice for classy, sit down meals for RPers.

I'm considering doing a matching glass container so when we have more drinks you can organize glasses instead of the bottle it comes in. :)

He may not care for me being inspired by such a simple character to go and make more simple characters but oh well. I love bradley so I made characters based off him and my own rendition of him.

Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Baldur on August 21, 2009, 06:06:03 pm: Try to add some sharp details and perhaps some sharper details as well, like really work on the fur first and really work on making it natural, then after you've worked on that start focusing on the clothes and lastly on small details on the clothes and on the person. If you really want her to "live" then make the eyes as detailed as possible. What I do is I try to find different forms, not necessarily eyes which host that feeling and then I make up my own mind and draw it. Trust your instincts, so if something says stop then you got to listen to it. There's often a sidetrack beside that stopsign so you naturally slip in on that. That's why drawing's so amazing, it boils down to the decisions "stop" and "go" in the process.

You've got a good basic ground, now you've got to go into detail, and refine the forms. Make her less fuzzy and more "real".

Hope that helped some, good luck :P

It doesn't have to be hard, just take a deep breath and get to work :) You think I have any idea how to do a thing before I start experimenting with a multitude of solutions seeming unfitting at first.

Holy Cow it's been awhile since, I've been here... much less posted. ;D Well time to add a new project that will need to be finished into the mix. With the addition of the new Dsar, I felt inspired to start work on an Enki village. This project, if completed :whistling: , will be the look of the village that Illysia grew up in. We'll see how far I get. So far I've got a work in progress Ultic. I only need to fix the texture in some places and add about two, dodges... *ahem* decorative features before I am finished with the standard ultic design for the village. Heck, I might have to work on the texture for the leather outside entirely. The ultic was done in Max 8 and is 270 triangles or 141 polys. The texture was done in Photoshop.

It has wood for support for stylistic reasons instead of bamboo, it's tied to the backstory of the village. As I can, I will work on village elements and gradually construct the base models before actually assembling the village as it will be. Here's a few more elements.

Post by: Nivm on June 22, 2010, 11:48:06 pm: It looks like there is a single dark face on the top. If you put it in the neck it's significantly less noticeable. 24 extra triangles too much?
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: LigH on June 23, 2010, 02:43:34 am: :o There's whisky in the jar, oh!

Well done, anyway. Nicely ornated. Pulling the neck in is probably recommendable - those will be mainly invisible triangles.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on June 28, 2010, 04:06:29 pm: The top face is more of a perspective difficulty with the texture than anything. If you look from the top, it's suppose to look like you are looking down into the jar even though it is a flat face. If I wanted to try a geometry fix, I could do it in about 12 triangles but I try to keep simple items under 100 triangles. The 12 triangle fix might not do much good and would back it up against that limit. You can blame Karyuu for getting me in the habit of cutting down triangles. Shame she isn't around to see this stuff. :'(

Post by: Illysia on June 29, 2010, 06:11:56 pm: I remember that fur! :D In fact I was wondering what happened to it a few weeks ago.
The kran wig part isn't so hard. It's the getting it in game part that is hard.

Well, here's some more props for the village.

Here's a new carpet for the weaving section. It's got the crystal as a theme. I was considering doing a crystal themed tapestry instead but this was quicker. ;)
(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/7624/carpet2e.th.jpg) (http://img21.imageshack.us/i/carpet2e.jpg/)

(http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/4334/table2ez.th.jpg) (http://img25.imageshack.us/i/table2ez.jpg/)

Here's a fancy table. 220 triangles and 108 polys. It could stand a bit more work on the texture but we'll see how that goes.
(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/7421/table1c.th.jpg) (http://img24.imageshack.us/i/table1c.jpg/)

And here is a decorative metal bowl on little stands. 144 triangles, 80 polys. I'll figure out what to put in them later, but the generic bowl is done.
(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3728/decorativebowl.th.jpg) (http://img24.imageshack.us/i/decorativebowl.jpg/)

I had a few of them go over the 100 triangle limit... :-\
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Nivm on June 29, 2010, 10:26:11 pm: I think those twelve triangles on the pot are worth it, since there are more side angles you can look at it from than top angles. It's also a lot more obvious when you're moving around it.

On both the thread and wood grain, I think you need to make the texture more pronounced. If I make the images dark, and my room dark, I can still see the wood grain (real wood, not plastic and board) on my desk, but not on the corner-tables. Likewise, I can still see the threads of our indoor placemat, but not those of the rugs.
Horizontally blurring the patterns a bit more along the threads would also help. It's rather hard to get a perfectly even dye on the thread used the weave a rug before it is weaved. Although I guess they could use magic to dye it after it's weaved.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: LigH on June 30, 2010, 01:37:29 am: Don't you count the triangles only (most of them are backside-culled anyway).

The design of the "fancy table" is geometrically simple, yet artistic and decorative. If it was me to decide, I'd agree to implement it.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on June 30, 2010, 01:49:43 pm: We'll see about the water jar. You mean add a bump map for the grain or just contrast it more? For the blue carpet, I tried adding noise to distort the pattern a bit more.
(http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/7831/carpet2redo.th.jpg) (http://img97.imageshack.us/i/carpet2redo.jpg/)

Here's some more carpet patterns as well The first one is a close up of one in the set. That's my rainbow collection, inspired by the purple Ojaveda carpet. And the last one is the sunset flight carpet. It's got butterflies winding across it. I might change the color scheme and do a night and morning version as well.

I count both polys and triangles LigH. There is a little counter in max that keeps track of it for you so I just go by it and gives me both. :D I think the fancy table needs designs along the legs but I'm glad you like it.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: scotty110 on June 30, 2010, 03:46:07 pm: those look a lot like berber rugs, only thing is the trim around the outside needs to be roughed up a bit or similar noise pattern added.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Nivm on June 30, 2010, 09:47:19 pm: That got it Illysia. Not perfect, but to the point where I can't describe what's missing adequately. Increases the contrast on the gain of the wooden tables would help, but I think you need to detail it more. Perhaps using a photo or a real wood of the same kind as a reference would help.
I guess the rainbow rugs are the kinds that were dyed after being weaved?
The butterflies look like confetti or wood shavings that were sprinkled on instead of being part of the rug. Could you remove the shadows? And perhaps give them a more distinct outline from the string used to sew them on after weaving?

Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on June 30, 2010, 11:08:40 pm: @scotty110: The trim is just a fringe of the little strings that some carpets have. If you look close you can see they aren't entirely straight but I didn't want them too be too messed up as that would mean I would have gaps and would need an opacity map too. :sweatdrop: If I put more polys on, I could even out the elevation some but then I'd have to redo the UVs and I don't really want to do that.

@Nivm, maybe. I can try contrasing the grain more but I'm not sure how good that would look. And yes, they are dyed after weaving. The butterflys are like sewn on applique type things. They are in fact sitting on top of the rug which is why they have the shadow; it slightly raised. Showing the thread would be hard at this resolution for the texture and wouldn't be very noticeable on the model either way.

@bloodedIrishman: huh? ???

Here is the Night Flight and Sunrise Flight versions of the Sunset Flight carpet. Apparently the weavers are busy busy people as there are going to be carpets everywhere at this rate. ::|

And here is a candle. There are candle makers in the village so they will need candles. I'm going to try to resist the urge to spend the next two hours just doing texture tweaks to this model.

254 triangles, 159 polys.

I count both polys and triangles LigH. There is a little counter in max that keeps track of it for you so I just go by it and gives me both. :D I think the fancy table needs designs along the legs but I'm glad you like it.

Meh. You missed my point...

I rather meant: Do not only count them - but use them for pretty and unique designs! And limits change with hardware requirements too.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on July 01, 2010, 03:27:14 am: Well, we'll see.... budget modeling means fewer polys to texture and I like that. ;)

Here's some more props. An apple tree with shiny apples and a mannequin for making dresses. For the record, the mannequin was a pain to texture right. Not as bad as some things, but bad enough. I'll put up the poly and triangle counts some other time.

Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Nivm on July 02, 2010, 02:26:12 am: When I put a sewn-badge on the floor, I see no shadow around it. Are the butterflies really that thick?

A village that works on candle production will need the equipment and wax stock for it. Do you know what their source of wax is?
Are the objects in the candle tray polished stones?

Do you think you could add a horizontal branch-plane to the tree, positioned where a person would look up into it? Just something to hide the fact that it's made of 2d planes from that angle.
The size of the threads on the doll's shoulder are incongruous with the rest, but it doesn't look like it's required, since the lower parts show texture that could be used in the same place.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: LigH on July 02, 2010, 02:39:40 am: There is a source of wax - check several insects...

About the shadows - this is surely true, the sewing won't have too much of it, but the pompoms casting a slight shade would add to the 3D impression.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Nivm on July 02, 2010, 02:56:33 am: I meant which source, since it might not necessarily be insects, or might be dangerous, giant insects...
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: LigH on July 02, 2010, 08:16:50 am: I mean: According to the game mechanics, there is already a source of wax technically implemented, as you are already able to loot it from killed insects. (That's already enough a half-spoiler...)

But there may of course be different sources possible, which are not (yet) implemented in the game, and mere imagination.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on July 02, 2010, 01:24:47 pm: Yeah, the shoulder is messed up. I have to redo those UVs but redoing UVs is a pain so that I will do some other time. It's not like they are going anywhere. I can take out the shadow on the little butterflies but it makes them harder to see as looking at this from the scale of a character, you wouldn't be as close to it and wouldn't see as much detail. On the subject of wax, it apparently has a lot of sources as it used to be that you got it from pressed Rivnak fur. I might add to the tree but trees often have open spaces in them. Since using planes is the normal cheat for trees, I won't worry about it so much. Next time I make a tree, I might just make the planes less obvious in a different way. I have an idea.

Here's some cheat props made from some of my old artwork for textures.

This is a box:
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/3909/greenbox.th.jpg) (http://img8.imageshack.us/i/greenbox.jpg/)

This is a screen. Moral of the story: Never use jpgs for textures.
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/454/screenco.th.jpg) (http://img15.imageshack.us/i/screenco.jpg/)

This is a porcelain plate. People familiar with my work may recognize it.
(http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/9250/fineplate.th.jpg) (http://img638.imageshack.us/i/fineplate.jpg/)

And this is a plain one... I would prefer it be actually round but that would be an obscene amount of polys for one item. This picture is dark due to some lighting issues, I may just lighten is in photoshop later.
(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/96/plainplate.th.jpg) (http://img687.imageshack.us/i/plainplate.jpg/)

Danao is starting to learn metallurgy and slowly learning how to make things. He was messing around with some scraps of tin and he made a little rivnak...ish.... thing. :3 Below is a render of it. As his skills improve I'll probably post his new works here. Also as Danao develops stuff he can sell, I try to do pictures to go with the descriptions.

It's a real gem, if you never played it - try it out. They literally used more than 3 tons of clay to make the game :) It also has a great soundtrack (for example try this (http://dl1.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/dl/2612/eabd73/Neverhood/08._klaymen%27s_theme.mp3)).

Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on January 29, 2012, 11:32:53 am: Neverhood kinda seems like a clay myst.

However, the idea came from my intended RP path for my character, he is currently working his way into a new profession and he has to start somewhere. I see his early attempts at making things being lopsided and misshapen and at the instant I chose a form for his first attempt, a rivnak ran by. ;)
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery

Technically no for several reasons. As a policy, they stopped using artwork that was already revealed in the forums. The spoilers issue has ridiculously far reach around here. Two, inclusion would require it to become Atomic Blue property under the ABC license. Three, I do not have enough goodwill left towards this project to donate anymore art.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Gilrond on January 30, 2012, 07:27:42 pm: Understandable. Though I don't understand the refusal to use anything revealed previously, as well as refusal to use anything that is already under CC or simply public domain, doing that doesn't violate anything. Extreme "spoilers" policy can spoil the game.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Rigwyn on January 30, 2012, 10:30:51 pm: I think the idea is that they don't want art that appears in this game to also appear in others or elsewhere.. that would make it look kinda cheap/cookie-cutterish...

I think that when you post art in a thread you automatically have some sort of rights over it as its creator per the DMCA (assuming your didn't copy someone else's work ) but I don't know much about all that legal crapola so take this with a grain of salt.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Gilrond on January 30, 2012, 11:01:37 pm: Not convincing. If you mean the game art as a whole, then yes. But if it's just one part, while lot's of others are already under ABC - then it's not reasonable. I.e. if you use some art which is under CC, still other games won't look the same, because it's just one part. If the whole content is CC, then game is easily cloneable as is. But lot's of parts are already ABC, so game isn't cloneable, and using some CC parts won't hurt anything. I also suspect the ABC limitation scares away some potential artists as well, so the intended benefits can be outweighed by the stronger drawback, which is - no artists.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on January 30, 2012, 11:11:56 pm: Nope, once you sign ABC you loose all right. I kinda understand why, (as was seen when Moon took back his work) but I have too much history with this project and certain individuals to be that generous. I won't be yanking back what work is already in game but I certainly won't be making more and signing it over. Talad is a little paranoid about people stealing work so everything is taken in by ABC and no CC will be used.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Gilrond on January 31, 2012, 12:02:07 am: Not surprising that artists are lacking then. I can easily understand why someone will be willing to share the work under permissive license like CC, but won't be willing to just give it away under restrictive license.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on January 31, 2012, 12:29:37 am: Yeah, it does. As you can see here from the license page (http://www.planeshift.it/license.html) on www.planeshift.it (http://www.planeshift.it) .

This applies to the people that made those assets as well. Slows down a whole lot more than just artwork doesn't it? ;)
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery

XD However, I'd be careful telling him he is pretty if I were you. He might suck it up and just sulk if a woman tells him that, but if a man says it, he just might take a swing. ;)

However, he is a miner so he isn't weak. But he isn't a hunter or a bounty hunter, so for most people he would not be as helpful to their daily activities.

Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on October 03, 2012, 01:07:18 am: As the creator of this character I think I am the foremost authority on him ;) but, let's examine.

Here is Danao's description:
Danao speaks with a deep resonate voice.

The first things you notice about this Demorian ie electric, beautiful eyes. They are very striking and can catch people's attention even in a crowd or they would if Danao kept regular eye contact. Long, silken bangs frame a face with graceful lines in brilliant red while the rest of the hair is put back in a long ponytail.

Calloused and rough hands reveal that Danao is no stranger to manual labor and movements indicate a certain amount of strength. The somewhat loose shirt is made of cloth with laces for closure. It gapes open slightly to reveal a flat sinewy chest. Although there isn't much by way of muscle definition, Danao's is by no means weak.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: LigH on October 03, 2012, 01:13:43 am: I believe if you don't know the character, just look at this picture, you'll probably see a woman in it, due to its relations between parts of the face:

(http://imageshack.us/a/img138/2573/danaoportraitfinalthumb.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/a/img222/3209/danaoportraitfinal.jpg)

And I would like the look of a woman with this face. I would guess about her character as very pleasant.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on October 03, 2012, 01:14:51 am: Well, he can't help the fact that he is almost always mistaken for a girl and he's rather sensitive about that. ;D

I have been given the plate by Illysia, I've made it PS compatable, loaded it into a local client to test it, and its ready to be released!!

THANKS ILLYSIA!!!!!!!!

What could I do except... \o\ \o/ /o/
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Venalan on November 26, 2016, 04:29:07 pm: Getting items fully loaded into the client with textures and all is a bit of a pain due to how I have to edit all the files to match a current art files name. So im not doing that. Once Talad has issued a full art dev update for me I will take screenies of all the new stuff to be released in the update.

Admittedly they need more details on the top and bottom to represent the inner folds but that is just beyond my skill right now. Maybe I'm just tired though. A lot of effort went to fighting the UVs and figuring out why they kept moving themselves around. >.>

Post by: LigH on December 01, 2016, 02:35:13 am: I would have hoped for some fancier folding; this way, it's mainly structured by its texture.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on December 01, 2016, 10:22:57 am: Fancier folding means more triangles, but I considered it.

There are yet quite a few things I need to tweak, outright change, and figure out how to do, but I've learned some things along the way. First lesson is make at least a 1024 x 1024 texture for walls next time... I wasn't thinking. :sweatdrop:

I'm happy with how the handmade sandstone texture worked out,aside from tiling issues, but I need to see if I can use the normal maps that come with the engine instead. What I'm hoping I can do is use two maps. One map to let me specify what takes the sandstone texture and what doesn't and the other map the actual sandstone normal map.

I did figure out how to set the material up to let me make certain parts shiny metallic though. See the pretty gold details. :D If I do another smaller item, I can also work on reflections. As it stands, I have a decent idea of how game companies cut corners to make things look nice but take as few calculations as possible. I will need to practice doing those things, but I'm on my way. :woot:

Post by: Illysia on December 30, 2016, 12:52:46 pm: I noticed while making tea that PS still used the perfume model for teas, so I made a simple teacup. Only 96 triangles.

Post by: Illysia on December 30, 2016, 05:24:35 pm: I went with a handle-less cup closer to some Japanese teacups I've seen. Not doing the handle saves some tris. However, I will eventually try different styles.
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Migg on December 30, 2016, 06:11:41 pm: The cup is great, but we still need a sturdy container for the teas, can't carry them around in the cup. Having a tea bottle to carry them and your tea cup to drink them in would be great, could you please make a model for an empty cup as well? Keep up the good work! :thumbup:
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Illysia on December 30, 2016, 06:25:25 pm: Thanks. Haha... yeah, an empty cup would be useful huh? ;D I'll put it on the to do list along with some bottles. I was planning on working on a kettle next.

You can put two different types of wine bottles on a table, but what goblets do you put on it? Empty ones would work best. That's the kind of situation i was thinking about, and teas are similar. Thanks a lot!

I believe they only meant a convenient, portable container in which to hold your tea so it won't spill all over you if you, say, carry it 'home' with you after making it. Some people have to take a pterosaur ride, ride their mount, or even just run places, and will sometimes want to carry tea with them. And tea kettles are a bit large to be carrying around. ;D

Tea bottles, anyways. I approve. :thumbup:

You know, you shouldn't drag tea around like that, you drink it soon after brewing it.

Back to the topic, perhaps something like a thermos to carry your tea in? So it stays warm/fresh and you can enjoy it during your long journey. :D
Title: Re: Illysia's Render Gallery
Post by: Sirial on December 31, 2016, 04:32:05 am: Off Topic: I think it might be good to rework the teas so instead of being already in their final form they are more like RL, dry herbs mixes inside bokes that can be used to prepare the final product by adding them to hot water mugs. (Thank you Aeghiss for this!)

Back in Topic: the cup looks nice, now is time to add pottery to the game to be able to craft it :) Will you add some decorations on the cup surface or you will leave it blank?

Teas in the game are handled like potions: ready made remedies to boost some stats on the go. They require a container that is sturdy, easy to store and easy to use. Teapots are for the teatable! That said a teapot wouldn't be bad either, just not for carrying around in a warrior's backpack. A thermos on the other hand would probably be too technologically advanced for Yliakum's standards.

Post by: Tidebringer on January 05, 2017, 07:30:17 pm: *Tidebringer imagines the conversation...

"Greetings!"
"Greetings," and pulls out a thermos, opening it and sniffing the still-hot contents.
"What have you there?"
"Oh, this? Tea."
"No, no. But it's warm, and still, so far from any city?"
"Why, yes. It's the Red Way enchantment, you know? See these lovely diamonds?"
"Indeed..." then frowns.
"Why the frown?"
"Only, that I am a bit unsure of the wisdom of carrying such an item about, would the Red Way not be hazardous to yourself?"
"Oh, no, not at all! It was done by one of the most skilled..." [etc, etc, etc.]

Well, you get the point. How's it work? MAGIC! \\o//
Why does it exist? Because it was needed, clearly. Why were two people talking like that "so far from any city"? Well... because it's how I wrote it. ;D

*Tidebringer, so off-topic, contemplates the quality of her imagined conversation...
