Oh, my bad. I just don't know much about models and how they actually work in-depth. I only know model file and texture files, and boom. lol
Is it pinkish, though? I'm pretty sure in the Arcane Tower it's team colored.
Pretty sure it's one color. And I guess it's not pinkish but a bit bluish (ref. to the one encircled in green). The shade or "lighting trick" should be brushed on where I drew the red semi-transparent squiggles. Like a subtle coloring that makes it look like the blue magic ball is emitting some kind of light.
I see what you mean, I'll think this through, this may have some unforeseen consequences.
I haven't been able to recruit him yet, his too busy, unfortunately
Definitely not constant color. I think what @Altruistic Anduin meant is to just paint some color on the texture aka light reflexes.
Oh, I see. Maybe on post-project, then - after everything, or at least the Human and Undead faction?I haven't been able to recruit him yet, his too busy, unfortunately
Light reflexes, that's it. You can make it as an alternate texture that just adds these little things for detail. If ever you're on Ziggurats, I was going to ask for a similar thing - the Nerubian Tower can have the "claws" or whatever to be touched by some ice, or have some frost around them. Maybe the Nerubian sphere or stone on top of the Ziggurat is actually cold that way?
If you ask me keep everything purist, those little details can be added by fans later on. I like nerubian tower of reforged for example but for remastering cases it is better to keep it simple and purist
Problem with these is that og tiles still look more detailed somehow even if its mainly them being a bit more noisy. It just makes it look empty and bland when it doesnt have this painted-in harsher shading. Your attempt looks heaps better than what they done, but still isnt quite there i would say. I know i sound like a bit of a broken record with this regarding your textures, but i mean it, it has to keep it. Its part of the style of the game and i still would preffer it stay on the buildings too tbh.
I know, full prologue is in there too, including voice acting that was missing in TFT. I dont get why they axed it from RoC, its quite a bit mistake as all the dub work done for original release obviously is missing stuff for that (and i wish what we got in 2020 was just patching up the gaps with good impersonators for nonenglish version as new dub is just awful and i hear the same things about other nonenglish versions. Even when they got the same actors the direction and quality of translation is hidious, when they had original right there. Kind of emblematic of Reforged as a whole sadly)
ngl, I agree with this. I was just too afraid to say anything to upset the hype train before.
You're right, I gotta add some boldness. It's not intentional really, I just over-refine the texture sometimes when I spend too much time painting at close distance. Having said that, I have to mention that some of the harshness and contrast will come back after I downsize the texture and apply Sharpen, as I do with every texture. I definitely need to widen the gaps between planks though.Tower looks great, though same as with other textures, let the contrast be. let the lines be bold and harshly shaded black and highlights bright even if we do have engine shading on top. Dont be afraid of these
That's work in progress, I'm still looking for the right balance. I just want a suitable background for the asset showcase, and the old tilesets are just way too lowres.
Don't worry, it's just a matter of tweaking. I heard you, and I'll try to keep it more in line with the OG, because I also like how its design.Put differently, I'm perfectly happy with the vanilla SD terrain and/or using Quenching Mod. If I used these SD building models but also had to use that new grass is-as, tbh I'd consider the grass to be an unwanted side effect
I presume you use some ai image gen for these? Looks better, though ai does some weird things in few places. I am also pretty sure flowers are meant to be milkweed or something alike instead of those sort of flowers.
Um, no, as I said earlier, I use original textures overlayed on top of Reforged classic HD and do some color correction. AI wouldn't preserve tileability, and painting everything from scratch would take an unreasonable amount of time.
Thanks. If I get some sort of burst of motivation, I might try and catch up with Longbow and see if I could recreate the icons for the buildings he's done. Say, should I add a team color background for icons with originally none or black background, like the Town Hall here?Looks great
Nice one! I'd stick to the original, I think black background for buildings provide a good contrast. By the way, I noticed the original doesn't have clock arrows:
Alright, no background it is, then. As for the clock arrows, perhaps they didn't want to settle for a specific time to look good, lol - but I'll try to remove them via TRMS for the same of matching the original icons. Just tell me how so there's no need for back and forth file-sending. I believe the arrows can be removed anyway, right? I'm gonna need a better method than to just eyeball the angle of the icon and the scene I'm taking a screenshot of. Do you know a good overly software I could use?
I mean, you can just select them and delete, that's all to it. Just don't accidentally save the model after that
Hmm. Maybe PureRef? It's free, lightweight, and you can make it stay on top of other apps.
I think it does but they can't be seen due to pixels. I kind of understand it shows 01:40 or 07:10.
Now that you mention it, it kind of looks like something to me too. I see maybe 6:43 lol
I still would like to see this one textured(be ot origibal textures or yours), its a static part of geometry wouldnt be that hard to transplant to one you have.
The model is posted on Hive, feel free to download the bundle and experiment, guys
