TheWilloughbian Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 Figure I'll have a thread where I show some screenshots of my mod and get some feedback. The name of the thread comes from the fact that I'm addicted to point lighting. In the interior shots the only lighting is point lighting. I totally blacked out the directional light to make it pitch black. I really enjoy the contrast and shadows, but I need to scale back the amount lights for performance. http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj565/TheWilloughbian/NWN2/NWN2_SS_102916_144853_zpsvoxdhpjs.jpg I love this tileset by RWShttp://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj565/TheWilloughbian/NWN2/NWN2_SS_110116_115318_zpsvehbrtyq.jpg http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj565/TheWilloughbian/NWN2/NWN2_SS_110116_115635_zpsxofjjlyu.jpg http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj565/TheWilloughbian/NWN2/NWN2_SS_110116_115139_zpsabthquzb.jpg Minotaur Henchmen...... no sound when he walks though :sad: Still a great model by Bouncy Rockhttp://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj565/TheWilloughbian/NWN2/NWN2_SS_110116_124157_zpsilwtitmf.jpg
Sabranic Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 The lightning is very impressive. I've been developing a module for several years now and I don't have even close to that handle on the lightning. Very well done.
TheWilloughbian Posted November 2, 2016 Author Posted November 2, 2016 Thanks. I'm having fun with it. The thing the screenshots don't show is the flicker, which I'm quite pleased with.
TheWilloughbian Posted November 7, 2016 Author Posted November 7, 2016 I did some more with the exterior.http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj565/TheWilloughbian/NWN2/Prog_Ext_zpsm3nz42fn.jpg I'll be placing trees for the next week to fill this all. I really like these cliff placeables by Trevor Morris.http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj565/TheWilloughbian/NWN2/LongWay_zpsmbzcilnp.jpg
Sabranic Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Where did you get the stairs from that first post - the ones the throne sits upon. They look great.
Tchos Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Point lights are very nice, and these look good. I personally keep a directional light on in most cases, albeit dimly, and usually put some fog in too, just because point lights alone basically treat light as if it's in a vacuum, with none of the scatter and diffusion that light has when it's in an atmosphere, and it also helps to simulate some of the radiosity that these lights also lack.
TheWilloughbian Posted November 7, 2016 Author Posted November 7, 2016 The steps the throne sits on are "City Watch {Steps}" resized, with a pedestal on each side to cover the gaps. They're just stock placeables. The directional light is on, I just set every color option to black. It makes it way darker than just turning the directional light off.
rjshae Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Hopefully you know about the limit on overlapping point light sources? No more than 4, including those the characters are carrying.
TheWilloughbian Posted November 7, 2016 Author Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) I haven't had a problem. Why, what can happen? Edited November 7, 2016 by TheWilloughbian
rjshae Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 I believe the system will turn off light sources to maintain the limit. Unfortunately you can't control which ones.
