I know what you mean, but subdivision's tut's aren't that detail.
Try to make it point after point and read this from the shots.
Subdivision's site is a great tutorial.
Btw...nice stuff guys.
Edit:I have to show up some nice screen's from the silent hill mod we are making.






The flashlight in game:


I hope the shots are working, we are still looking for one or two mappers and coders.
(german language required is a big +).

Gaaaah! reptile! I'm just about to replay SH1 on pc. Do you know of a mod that enhances the gfx (I think I've heard of the name SH Extended before), or how long your mod will take to finish?

Looks awesome so far.

hmm, I see what your saying after looking at it for a bit. This kind of stuff doesn't "jump out" at me like it does most of you. Will see what I can do about it before the next release. :icon14:

Why replay man? I don't know there is already out a pc version.
But with D³ Engine you can make much more.Especially the effects in game are cool enough.
I'm not sure what you mean with the gfx, can you explain that a bit?
Yes there is a guy who makes also a remake but he is doing this alone don't have a link to that right now but I will look.
Well, it wont take that long time until a alpha version is out, I hope.
Now we got two more modellers, only 1 or 2 mappers are missing and some coders for the opengl shit.

After 8 weeks without an internet connection, i finally fixed it today. Was too lazy, and it nice to finally relax.

Worked a bit on a 'dunno', lame radiant-shots ahead:

Looks a bit like it could shape into 'CTF-Magma', the UT level.

Like it, looks nice. :icon14:

The PC version of SH1 is simply the original PS iso with epsxe wrapper specially for it.
True.

God Silent hill 4 was awesome. So wierd. I never beat it though because I got bored on the rooftop level. It was just so satisfying to see such an original and wierd game. I loved going back to the apartment and finding something new in the real world. I don't know much of the story though because I didn't get too far...

Looks great, fjoggs.

Look forward to seeing that properly lit.

What modeller did you use?

wow those look fantastic! Hey i finally got this thing hooked back up to the net for a period.. Heres a couple of pics of things ive roughed out recently..

Holy spikey floater, obsidian!

A bit reminiscent of Cardigan's 'Scorpion'-map (proper name eludes me), if you don't mind me immediately having to associate it with something else

Be nice to see that organic stuff with some lighting on it fjoggs.

Since my hard drive died a few weeks back and I lost my other WIP, I decided to try something I havent done before and do a lil bit of realism work. My first attempt, about 6 hours in so far. Depending on how many movie geeks are on the forum you might recognize the building.

is it ghostbusters? :P

It looks like alot of buildings but you've peeked my interest...

First thing that popped in my head was ghostbusters as well.

GtkRadiant 1.5

They'r all patches, I cant model.

Its the big door and the sign lol

Hehe, me either.

Or, more precisley, I can't be arsed with the whole UWV-unwrapping thing;

I can make models just fine in 3DsMax, and I'd be happy to just texture the polies in camera view in there, ala any map editor, but this isn't possible, AFAIK (and I'd be more than happy if someone could prove me wrong on this).

Then again, because terrain usually is made out of amorphic blobs, which do not require that kind of precise texture mapping, I think you could just apply some generic 'per-poly' texture map?

Wow..that's some hot stuf inside.
I didn't really play Sh but I can see that you might have more inspiration on making a game remake or game if you never had played anything before this becuase you don't know it.

I show you here some screens of the few maps we are mmaking now.

Interesting, Neotic. Looks like that site somewhere in the Middle East. Petra, I think it is. In Jordan.

here's a work in progress Orc.
This character is going to act like a front row forward in a violent fantasy sports game (think 'Speedball meets UE3 graphics') that we're currently developing a prototype for.

The character weighs in at around 3900tris and contains about 1.4million polys of source art.

These are just some test poses... the skin weighting is still very sloppy at the moment (nothing done on the fingers yet... so the hands are all the same )

I call this test 'The Dispute' - perhaps there was some misunderstanding on the field and the orcs lost the match... now some heated argument has started :icon25:

Same shot minus the normalmap

deformable GI pass (SH/PRT)


I kinda miss the days of mapping for Q3 - where the time it takes to make a 1024x1024 shader (dif, spec, normal) you coulda had 48 Q3 256's :\ Takes so frikin' long to get the ball rolling with art content now!

Did you try zbrush?
You can add much more detail to your model also might be good for terrain work I didn't try it now for terrain.



Now he has some Textures.
