[Official] Project Perfection

Well if I had to guess Dathomir could very well become more ugly. It is meant to look all dark, evil and mysterious after all.

Yeah but there are ways to make something look dark and somber but still make it look good.

Good news indeed =D

Can't wait to see an all new tatooine and less ugly dath

Yeah, but dark, evil, and mysterious doesn't have to mean ugly =p

EDIT: Forgot to mention, that screen of LPE2 looks AMAZING, how close is it to release?

Yeah the default design is nice. Not any time soon, it's a sub project at best. Most likely to be kept back until closer to the 1.0 release, or just prior to it.

If I was a perv it would've been easier just skipping the clothes. ;P

For the record I did one of the lads too, but never got around to finishing it. You'd just call me gay then though, right? <3

Its the angle damn it. In addition clearly anime characters have more flexible joints than us normal folk.

I still like Purple Dant more better, it gives it a certain mystique, where as the wheat colored Dant just makes it look like harvest time.

BTW, is it possible to play with alpha transparency's in the in-world textures to give them sort of a ghostly look?

To a degree yes, but in terms of a "ghostly look" you probably wont be satisfied lol. You'll need to have a mess with alphas and shader effects to find the look your imagining.

Nice, and this could also work on things like tree textures/buildings, etc?

Yes, although its difficult to get a look you're happy with. I've already experimented with glowie/transparent flora.

 

[Shempoo]

Got any results you could show?

Unfortunately no, I don't take many screenshots these days. Must've gotten out of the habbit.

Wow you people are talkative lol.
I like that den of yours Ton, but a lair would've been so much better.

Shaders effects are the winrar, you can make stuff invisible, transparent, glowy, metallic, plastic, brilliant, chrome and dark chrome and a lot more that I couldn't test because of my laziness.

I remember having fun with the chrome/metallic reflection effect a couple years ago, basically I had made my toon look like Iron Man in MKII suit lol, lovely.


I should dig out my super fake bloom mod I had a while back, it might be worth something, it used to make pretty much everything with a "light source" smooth glowy without the need to enable Bloom (so you can keep AA), though activating Bloom would make every light source a hundred times more glowy than before basically you'd get an instant seizure just by looking at the light.

Mhmm. I have too much stuff to put up really, or the page will just take forever to load. Still optimizing the site in various ways though. When I get around to finishing that up every element should load up at least 10% faster.

 

[Valkyra]

Bloom is the best shader effect!

 

[Tonberry]

Sure, unless you have bloom disabled.

In other news things are coming along, slowly, but surely. I'm pretty happy with the overall state of Dantooine now, although I'll revisit it once other stuff is done for some final polishing.

Next time I'm in the mood I think I'll be starting on Tatooine, or continuing the small amount of work I had already done if I still have it. If I recall correctly the majority of environment related stuff for Tatooine (sky, etc) I think I've already done, so its just actually fixing up the terrain and textures for the most part, which for the likes of Tatooine won't take anywhere near as long as Dantooine did in that regard.

One thing I haven't put on the original features list is weather. I know there aren't many weather effects in the game to begin with, but I do plan on sprucing those up a bit, starting with sandstorms. This will include better SFX as well. The original direction of the project has definitely changed since I came back to it, but for the better I hope.

As always, anyone who wants to join the project is more than welcome and it only helps to speed things along.

Updated the original post and features list to reflect the changes I've made to the project. I also added a screenshot of Tatooine's current sky, with a light gust of sand blowing overhead to my den.

I don't see said screenshot. Perhaps the link is broken?

Also, on a unrelated note, 200th post W00T!
