Torque 3D Show Off Thread!

#181 @Daniel :) It seems that you get a "Anit-Sucking" certificate when pre-ordering, its all Torque3D OmegaDog=Suck... for 15 years!

#182 @OmegaDog: Lol...I know what you mean. T3D just makes everything look so...nice :D

#183 so the water texture is a normal map, right?
and you can add an alpha channel to a normal map, right?
so I did, and this is the result.

without the alpha channel


and with the alpha channel

#184 and a few more, but not of the effect, just nice shots




this is a really close up closeup of the sea sand material that is at the waters edge, and I mean really close up!
I'm busy writing a tutorial how to create super high resolution terrain textures, not exceeding 1024 X 1024, but keeping all the details.

#185 Nice vista! That's going to look even better with Forest Kit :)

#186 thanks Brett,
I edited my post and added another image as you posted.
and damn, I cant wait for that forest kit!!!!!

#187 Great work deepscratch -- that's f'n cool!

#188 you should see it un clipped.

its a HUGE terrain, I may do a fly by video, going around the coastline

#189 Does deepscratch have the coolest avatar or what?

#190 My latest work in progress, a small walkthrough with some fly-by action. Still a lot of work to go, and I have very big plans for this piece. Hopefully I can accomplish them. :D

And the bad textures you may notice, that's due to the >4 textures with parallax bug.

#191 That's pretty huge and detailed. I love it.

#192 Oh, this is just the beginning. Still have to add all the ground cover, add in the scatterSky, time of day, lots of dynamic lights, maybe some bushes of sorts.. It should be awfully pretty once I'm ready to call it "done".

#193 Way to go deepscratch, hope top see a blog soon on the alpha stuff!

Sweet! Jacob that's real nice terrain! Can not wait to see it "done"!

#194 And here is a rough cut of the night phase. Still so much work to do though.

Take notice of the water foam. Under normal circumstances, the foam is multiplied by the ambient color. For a night scene, this would result in black foam, even if there was a dynamic light on it. My new foam multiples by the total light data instead. Notice how the foam is fully visible near the lights, but fades off into the darkness.

#195 @Jacob - I suppose when you say the 'total light data' you mean lightinfo buffer?

That sort of works in some cases... mostly along the shore. It will not work at all when the light only intersects things that are translucent like the water surface. Worse the surface could be lit when the light is far under water.

Still its acceptable if your careful.

#196 Oh true, it's not perfectly accurate. However my shading effect makes use of the lightinfo, so I decided to just use that with the foam. Not perfect, no, but has much prettier results in my opinion.

#197 ok what the heck, some programmer art.... Nothing fancy, but a large map brought over from Grome2. At least it has potential:)

#198

#199 WOW...

#200 Really impressive.. all of it.. BOOM head explodes.
