L3DT Users' Community

WOOO HOOO,

Nice feature Aaron WTG dude. with the bump mapping OK, I cannot figure out how to post any of this art on the web site right now. The user gallery does not seem to have a upload butten for some reason, and I can't log in to the user gallery at all?? It keeps coming back to the login screen.

WOOT, here are a few posts of screens with the bumping feature.
The first 2 are from what I call the drifting series and all these terrains will be going into TSE soon for a new Video game we are working on. We will post all that when we are ready.




Then this one also....



Then the next one, Passion series is a bit diferent. with the terrain a bit more psycho. I have messed with both textures on the terrains besides the bump mapping that was added FYI.



And:



This is just a few of the bumped screens I have done since yesterday when I downloaded the new pro version. Awesome brother simply awesome, you the Ogre, err da Man well all that I am going to post on this forum at this time anyway.

Aaron would you get these posts to the Gallery for me please since I can't get in to download them to ya at this time? That is if you like them anyway. I hope they are good enough quality for ya.

I will post a few more on my other post I have running but I didn't want to get the bumped ones confused from the other ones that aren't but hella fun to do. I have left them at 1024 as I noticed the ones on the gallery are the same, or I would hAve posted them much smaller like 640 or so.

Hay there January 23, 2006: I did another terrain and bumped this one as well with the GreenLight series. I hope these can get posted as well?



And then this other one and I am done posting untill I can get a page set up and show people from there.



Hope you all enjoy all these as much as I did making them.

Man has to believe in himself first, before he can believe and recreate his own and others realities.

Heh, looks cool. Maybe today I'll try tearin up the bump mapping feature a bit too.

Hi DeathTwister,

Lovely images! I particularly like the desert ambience you achieved with your 3rd and 4th images. The green-light series has an interesting mood too. I'm a bit worried about the first two though; it looks like you've got a very high-contrast texture that looks a bit harsh (the dark grey / green / yellow one). What land type are you aiming for?

As mentioned in the e-mail, I'd prefer to wait for the gallery bugs to be worked out (hopefully this week), since I can't upload with your account, and I think it's too confusing and messy if I upload your pics with my account.

On the subject of gallery bugs, the latest grasping-at-straws suggestions for fixing cookies can be found on this thread:

Do any of these work for you?

Cheers,
Aaron.

Hehehehe,


Naw I was just messing around with textures was all. Seeing what I could get away with. It goes back to my days in the Haight and ashbury scene.

Mainly I am playing around to see what I can get away with and what I can't, that was kinda like a LSD planet type hahahahahahahaha ROTFL. Sorry got carried away.

ARGG, just woke up need coffee, back after I awake.

Hi Maylock,

Please don't let my previous post put you off from experimenting with textures. I'm probably a little too accustomed to the default settings, which are admittedly quite bland and inoffensive. I'm very interested to see what you (and others) can come up with.

Cheers,
Aaron.

PS: How embarrassing; I had to google for 'Haight and Ashbury'. It looks like I missed the best bits by a few decades and around 8,000 miles.

Hahahahahaha /chuckles.... It's all good bro winks.

DeathTwister

I like the pictures DeathTwister. Can't wait to see future things.

Hay Aaron

Hay I just wanted you to know I got my files uploaded OK and thank you very very for fixing the links so we can.

/chuckles as for the 1960's movement that went down in the Haight & Ashbury, woot one day I will write a book about all that happened there from the street persons point of view. Should be interesting.
I have started some writeing on that subject allready. Not sure when I will post any of it yet before I try for a book deal, but ya just never know.........

Thanks again for fixing stuff bro, you the bomb

DeathTwister

Hay there guys,

Just a quick add to my post tonight. Woot great update Aaron WTG brother, lots of new stuff to get into trouble with. Hahahahaaaa...

Wooot lots of fun and this was the end result for this post is with my Volcan series with my textures, and your "_bump files" as you don't seem to use a bumping type I am used to and I will have to go later to your Tutorial page and see if I can figure out how you made them babbies you did make. Hummmm...../winks

Ok I will just post 1 or 2 here and keep the rest on my alblum page. By the way Aaron thanks for fixing the upload pages for all the uploads for us.

Looking good there DeathTwister!

I really like the new skies and the rebalancing of the textures.

That's what it's there for. L3DT is meant to be hacked.

Okay, I'll write a little tutorial in the next few days.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Aaron.

KEWL, COOL, cool,

Your awesome dude. KK I will be watching fer one.

Hi DeathTwister,

The first draft of the tutorial is up:

http://www.bundysoft.com/wiki/doku.php?id=tutorials:l3dt:bumpmap

As you might be able to tell, I wrote that at 2:30am, so it's a little wacky in parts. I might come back and edit it when I'm slightly more awake and sensible.

Cheers,
Aaron.

HAHahahahahahahaha, ROTFL

yaya just about the time I woke up this morning OOh well, but it was worth coming online to see the Tut, YAYA I will go play a bit with it this one this morning. TATA
DeathTwister

Thanks DeathTwister,

I'm glad you liked it. I guess you're the only other human to have seen it before I re-edited it to be slightly less stream-of-consciousness-rant and slightly more tutorial-esque*. I've also added some more stuff on how to specify bump-maps in the climate files, though I should probably write some more on that some time.

Cheers,
Aaron.

* Unless of course people go looking through the old revisions.

ROTFL,

Dude you make my morning, hahahaha OMG you are funny brother. Thanks I needed that this morning. BTW it was KEWL I liked what you had before, it gave a giggle here and there and I hope you didn't get ride of the good stuff, HAHAHAhahahahaha
