Description

I've littered the streets, added some background buildings, need to add a few more, turned over a trashcan or two, burned a car, increased the glow on the street lights as well as rusted 'em up a little, added a couple of blood stains on the sidewalk, have a trashcan burning to warm some street life, also dimmed down the HOTEL neon... still no inhabitants as yet. all posts welcome... except laughing, I know the car sucks... ;) Marc Eiland Darksteps

Nice scene but the lit motel sign doesn make sense as far as lighting goes. The hotspot of the red light on the building is placed exactly where the T and E aren't lit! You would expect that area to be dimmer...

well actually, the lights for the T and E on the other side are working, that's where the brightness is coming from, the lights for those letters are turned off on this side... each letter has an attenuated light... when I animated it, it was easier to see the difference between on and off, but with no frame of reference I can understand the confusion... :)

You would definitely need a premium DocWagon cotract to walk on these streets:)) I love Shadowrun! One of the most complex rpgs I've ever played (haven't tried RIFTS yet). How did you litter it up?? Simply adding deformed planes, or using some dynamics simulator like clothreyes?

thanks buds... I basically used a patch grid then applied a couple of spacewarps to it, then duplicated it... then built piles, then scattered the piles by hand... I never played Shadowrun, but I luv the premise... hoping someone would make a shadowrun mmporpg... :)

it only took about 20 minutes to render, all the lights are shadow mapped to save on render time... I was hoping to have the Troll finished by now so I could populate the image a bit...

Use simple 2D Plates with transmapped photos for background people. Very easy and very effective. In the distance you cant tell that they are not 3D and as they still cast a shadow, they look perfectly real. Detailed 3D characters are only needed for the fokus points and foreground. You should still change the lanterns. They dont fit in well. Dont forget that even todays streetlights are 60 years old by 2060.
