You've got talent man! Very Happy

To Jeroen:
The walktrough is made in Freeworld's fullscreen-mode simply maneuvering by keyboard and mouse-control, and "filmed" with Fraps.

To Mr.Fletcher:
The water is not so imressive. It's made by this buggy, half-baked Freeworld. There is no tranparency, although there is a parameter for this.
So the water is still a rippled 100%-mirroring plane. Here is a still of that:

Through the house on the right at 50:00 you go to the barely finished city-hall. Hope you will see more of this section soon.
The canopies: Yes, i have to decide, if i use 1- or 2-sided polys on trees and other "thin" objects. Because the trees are much trickier to do, i will rearrange the market-tents with 1-sided's and turn "backface-culling" off.

I just encountered another problem:
There is a part on the human body, wanting not to be digitized by lo-poly-models: the ear. For all those characters, who doesn't have fully hair covered sculls, you have to create ears. Ears are heavy. You could spend them as much poly's as the entire head or even the body, but they have much concave surfaces, confusing the lightmapper Crying or Very sad

So i must decide - living with this:

or spend more poly's to get it looking real ? Is there a solution? I have to make a dozen of ears for all those char's i want to show. And before this is done, i dont can go on working out clothes/bodys for them.
Anyway - anyone knows a good source of free clothing textures ?

I wouldn't spend more polys on something that doesn't draw that much attention anyway. Most people wouldn't know the difference between a lowpoly ear and one with more polygons, I think.

My 2 cents.

Very impressive modelling Smile

I use Ogre mesh files exported from DeleD in my own project. If your interested I can probably load up your models into my engine as a test.

There are a number of issues to deal with when loading an entire interactive scene into a game engine tho. Esspecially if you want some of your models to have "physics" and others to be "animated" and others "static".

Also, loading the entire thing as a single mesh is likely to be too many triangles to have an acceptable frame rate.

So, there's a fair bit of work involved in turning what you have into an actual game but I'd like to discuss in more detail what tools we could use to achieve such a thing. Perhaps even make some improvements to DeleD in the process Smile

Wow.. looking awesome. Allthough it doesn't have transparency, I still like the water-effect. Very Happy

To Zarfius:
Sent you a PM. Sure i'm interested in testing my models in an engine. So tell me how you want some of my meshes and the terrain. Let's try !

Hi folks!

After all your positive response, i show you a new look into my little world. Now you can enter buildings!
Here, at the market, i show you some pix entering a house.
This is a picture made with freeworld, like all "outside" views.

Entering a house by opening the door, changes the point-of-view:
Inside houses you will see the scenes by first-person-look. This is necessary, while third-person-view
needs much more space than a single house is providing.
Now i made the door "true-3D", and "opened" it.

The next one ist a true screeenshot made by DeleD, even you see some of the city of Meynhein outside.
Some details are still missing - this will be the trading shop for herbs etc.

Making natural items like herbs for this shop is tricky. So i add another more technical thing to the scene:

But the herbs will come...
And the seller; you will see NPC's when they're ready to be shown...

DeleD is great ! Keep on developing !

Excellent job indeed! I like the atmosphere here.

A little positive feedback: it might be nice to add a little more detail to the textures. The inside of house looks too clean, especially for a herbs reseller. Wink
