Adraax: Klyro's City Project

[Baldur]

1. CG-Textures , Mayang Textures try these, or bug Karyuu :>
2.You change the opacity of the layer you want translucent in a graphical program(Photosho, Gimp)(At least that's what I do) when you create the textures.

[rast]

I have never come across CG-textures before =S It seems to be a good site I sorta gave up on texturing the Gerhana...


dug up something i did a while back too...
Esorta:


i'm might get round to texturing this as well....

 

[Keldrena]

I've been working on the concept from minetus' previous pot. I don't really like it and it's not finished yet. Thoughts?

[Baldur]

You need to variate the texture, right now you have one part repeating itself. YOu need several parts which look different and alot more details Try to work on the details as much as you can.
I think you've done a good job manufacturing that texture, just make sure you balance the strong cyanide colors with something that's easier for the eyes.

That's all I have to say

[Zweitholou]

Hello everybody,
I just finished reading this whole thread. It took a while but it was worth it.  I did some drawings as I went along and they're posted below. I'd love to help out however I can, time permitting.


Port Kydril
Main port which handles goods transported by sea, land, and air.


Port Kydril render 1
Modeled with Lightwave 3D 8.0.


Joelkine Tavern
A warm building with a rich atmosphere. Favorite place of fishermen, sailors, and travelers to rest and share stories.


Bacu
A small Bacu housing a fisherman's family of four.


Building 1
Just an idea...


Building 3
Another idea...


Triumbrae


Air lizard
Small relative of the Pterosaur, these animals roost primarily on the cliffs of the Floating Island. Their diet consists primarily of fish.


Krytoble
A large, flightless bird known to live throughout the swampy moors which lie in the rich Klyron floodplains. Mates for life. Omnivore.


Recurve sword (Shegenriz?)
A design renowned for it's strength and graceful fluidity, forged in the ancient technique which was passed down by the Klyron for generations.

Sorry if anything is wrong with the post... this is my first.

i like your drawing style lots of potential  keep up with the good work

[Baldur]

* Baldur has an eye-gasm

I'm... very glad you found us

[rast]

*Rast is uber impressed*

these are awesome =)

[Zweitholou]

Thank you!   

Here are some pictures I added today...


Girhana
A sinister monstrosity which towers over the surrounding foliage at an impressive 3 meters tall, the Girhana is a carnivorous, flowering plant which snares its prey with its cleverly constructed "leaves". These "leaves" are covered in hairs which secrete a sticky' resinous enzyme adept at catching meals and absorbing the nutrients it obtains. However, this resin is also said to have advantageous medicinal uses and may cure such ailments as the oft fatal Ikthian blight. Many an adventurer has lost his life in pursuit of the precious liquid.


Glest Fargel
A notoriously pesky swamp creature, the Glest Fargel is a member of the fish family, despite it's ability of flight. Some particularly infested neighborhoods invest in a Korbahd'zhoblae to keep the pests' population down. The Glest Fargel is, on average, the length of a Klyros' forearm, or 20 inches. It lays its eggs in water and takes different mates each breeding season.


Karf'brecht
This carnivorous plant inhabits the murk of swamps and bogs, luring fish in with it's eerie lights. Each "leaf", or "head", has a glowing extension and a photosensitive "eye" which lures and grabs fish who venture too near. It also uses photosynthesis through it's fern like fronds sprouting from it's unassuming knoll on the water's surface.


Sley'dekth
Not much is known about these demonic lurkers who creep about in the murky depths of the swamp. The image is often exaggerated by the local who describes it, owing no doubt to consuming terror.


Korbahd'zhoblae
This noble beast is the prize of any owner. Its useful traits include the eradication of Glest Fargels, undying loyalty, and the defense of property. It makes a keen lookout with three eyes alert for trouble, and can fend off troublemakers well with its 36 inch (about a meter) long horn. The Korbahd'zhoblae stands 10 feet tall and is formidable whether tame or wild. Pups must be raised in captivity to be sold as pets.

If anyone needs concept sketches for modeling, let me know. 

[Keldrena]

First of all: Zweitholou, I bow down to your mad skillz.

Anyhow I was wondering, what should the poly count on some of the larger plants be?

[Zweitholou]

Thanx. 

I'm not sure about the poly count, but on the first page it says trees should be 150 polys. If the average tree is about 25-30 feet (about 8.5 meters) and the girhana is 3 meters (about 9.8 ft) tall, then I would guess about 50 polys...

Just a guess...

[peeg]

Zweitholou keep it up! I'm impressed
Nice to see Adraax's still developing!

[LARAGORN]

Zweitholou, I love your work  You have a great imagination and are able to express it well.

I suggest taking a look at the Names and Places thread for naming options, there are dozens of words and definitions. (link in my sig)

Keep up the great work, it is good to see activity here 

[Zweitholou]

Happy New Year!

Here are some other drawings...



The smooth side is glass.


I know it's inaccurate, but i was in the mood...
I couldn't get the original black and white to load.

[saladasalad]

First of all, Zweitholou, they are some utterly superb drawings.

Secondly, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought this project was given the 'no go' by Talad for some strange reason or another....
