Hi all,

Another build of FPSC was made today so I took a new screen shot of an internal WW2 level. As you can see, even a small amount of furniture can make quite a difference to the scene. There are still some minor issues (mostly with floor texture alignment and light mapping) but it's coming on well.

Cheers,

Rich

ok, now that's kinda nice...

good looking, detailed textures... nice glass window... nice furniture... believable shadowing...


as for the candle being a light source... it doesn't seem to be much of a factor... as far as i can see, the light from the candle flame (i'm guessing that's what you meant as being a light source, and not the candle itself) isn't affecting anything but the candle...

the dominant lighting seems to be coming from above, from the ceiling area, and slightly towards the door...

overall, nice... it's getting there.

thx for the pics... keep em comin'...

The candle isn't the light source, if I had moved the shot up a little bit you would have seen a single overhead light in the ceiling which is the one responsible for the shadow casting (as Red correctly speculated). However there is no reason why you couldn't position a light source around the tip of the candle, the problem I think is that because the candle isn't currently animated you wouldn't get that "flickering" effect like in Thief, etc, but it might be nice to try regardless - all of these sorts of things you can play around with for yourself in the final package.

Whoa. It really looks like there's light coming off that candle! Is that just faked with the texture?

That is one hell of a Quality jump.. Lighting is much better in that scene, a few tweaks to compensate for the outside (raining/dull) look; definately would really look awesome.

Lightmaps are bad in the sense that you cannot make a scene come to life; however good in the way it doesn't matter how many you put in a scene as it only slows down compliation time for the RAD. So don't be affraid to use a few to get given effects.

Remember there would be light comming in from outside too, it is often forgot about this; even when the sky is dark.. so you'd get a subtle grey/blue ambient. You then accentuate it using the internal lights.

But again a damn huge improvement from the other shots (and the MP40 gives it a nice breath of authenticity )

It's just a very good texture.

Going to try the new test build now.

The weapons are definately looking better now that they're lower down on the screen, with the exception of what looks like a Colt M16 (or possibly even M4), that is still a little too high IMHO.

@ Spanky Gutzler

You can make games that look way better than that in DBPro. Well I say 'you'...

Still prefer the Sci-Fi section. The WW2 stuff is easy to copy... Sci-Fi takes some thought!
