Torque 3D Show Off Thread!

#801 I always find myself coming back to T3D. I created a melee weapons pack consisting of 19 melee weapons for sale, and I just decided to try an Import them to T3D.It was painless to say the least.

#802 Greetings from the Greed Devs ;)

Ragdolls using GMK


enjoy

This might find its way into Torque3D, i have already started porting just the ragdoll part of gmk to Torque3D.

#803 :)

#804
It's made with Torque3D and this is a showoff thread so ... :P

#805 This isn't really a gameplay screenshot but it is straight from the engine without edits. I turned up the shadow distance and tweaked the post fx/lighting a bit.

#806 The shots are getting better and better, but I always wonder where this glow effect comes from, I notice this also in other engines a lot, for example cry engine. Is this just the regular bloom postfx from Torque, or something else?

#807 It's just regular bloom.

#808 Great screenshot as usual Sam!!

#809 lies Sam, thats a photo... :P

#810 I would be interested in the basic workflow you use for such scenes. Does not have to be a complete tutorial, just some hints, like the two you gave already, shadow distance and postfx.

#811 I'm with Duion I would be interested too, but a tutorial wouldn't hurt..If you have the time ;)!!

#812 Okay:

* Plan the layout first and keep in mind how each area will look and impact each other.
* Use reference, if nothing else use it for lighting (sun colour, shadow colour, shadow softness etc).
* Use grass, the heightmap, decals, rubbish to ensure that objects (especially large ones) look like they belong instead of just being dropped onto the map (at the very least hide the join seam).
* Compare the scene with your reference regularly.
* Hide repetition as much as possible (in tiling textures, objects used, the look of an area etc). In BeamNG.drive there are a number of textures that are only used to break up the tiling of the road.
* When finishing up an environment/level pay attention to the little things, I find they can be the difference between something looking fake and looking like it has been lived in (rocks fallen from a cliff, rubbish fallen out of a bin, graffiti, signs, grass left uncut in hard to reach areas etc.

#813 Just a small preview of what I've been working on. A couple of images for now. More to come.

#814 Very interesting. Nice vehicles! That airship in back is ominous. The gui pieces might be a little on the big side, though that is just my opinion. Gives it also a lopsided feel.

#815 Thank you Jason for your feedback. I really appreciate it.

#816 oh nice sorin! can you do a video? what is the name?

#817 Thank you, johxz! I'm not settled on a name yet, but I do have a video coming up soon that will show actual gameplay with AI and objectives.
I can tell you for now that it is a squad based game. You give orders, and you get orders from AI or other players.

#818 What you are building looks like the game Halo.

@Jason
He borrowed the HUD from the FPS tutorial. Maybe it gets better with higher resolution, but adjusting the stuff with the GUI editor can be painful.

#819 Yes, it does have some similarities to Halo. But, it is not the type of game I'm going for.

#820 Wow Cool! I love that kind of game! if you need a hand give me a call.
