A Second Helping of Desert

When I first took screenshots of the desert area in "Faithless," Corrugath told me that the landscape looked too mundane. He suggested changing the color of the sky to make the area look like a truly strange place. (Those were not his precise words, but I don't want to quote him directly and risk giving the story away.)

It took me a while to change the desert landscape. I wanted to finish the mining camp first, after which, I got sidetracked with enhancements for "Battle of the Builds."

It was only yesterday that I finally had a chance to redo the desert area. This entailed changing the colors of the sky and repositioning the sun. Although I didn't touch any other part of the area, when I was done, I sat in awe of the results. The desert acquired a strange kind of beauty. I don't think I got the effect I was going for, but the screenshots I took were amazing nevertheless.

Thanks, Liso. :) I found out that proper lighting can go a long way to achieving that "wow" effect.

What Kind of Creature Are You?

Image
Several days ago, I took a 9-question test at Quiztron called "What Magical Creature Are You?" . It's a multiple-choice personality test of sorts, but I'm certain that it has no scientific basis whatsoever. The Quiztron site lets anybody create their own test, so I think it's safe to say that nearly all of them did not originate from someone with a Ph.D. in Psychology. This particular test was apparently created by a girl who was between 13 to 17 years old when it was posted a little over a year ago. Nevertheless, the test was fun and took me less than a minute to complete. Reading the comments page , I found that possible results included dragon, elven warrior, and werewolf. Here's what I got: Demon You are dark and don't take s*** from anyone. You are a powerful creature and skilled in battle. Most fear you, but a few are on your side. Skilled in battle? I couldn't help but laugh. Nevertheless, I liked the test enough to try another one. This time,...

Converting Skyrim Armor to NWN2, Part 1

Image
Four months ago, I offered to write a tutorial for Casadechrisso on how to convert armor made by Skyrim custom content makers into NWN2 armor. I didn’t actually know how to go about it, but I assumed that it wouldn’t be too difficult for me to figure out. Well, Casadechrisso accepted my offer about two months ago, which is why I’m posting yet another tutorial series on game modding. I haven’t actually completed the conversion as of this time, so this blog post is as much a tutorial as it is a journal of my progress. Conversion Problems Converting model files between video games is not without its problems, especially if the games are very different from each other. For example, it is possible to convert NWN models to NWN2 models, but the results often look crude and blocky. Likewise, converting Skyrim models to NWN2 models may be problematic for two reasons. Firstly, Skyrim armor has way more polygons than are recommended for NWN2, which is still slow compared ...

Easy Diffuse Mapping from Normal or Height Maps

Image
Textures spell the difference between superb-looking models and crappy-looking ones. Excellent diffuse and normal maps are crucial in giving your models that wow factor, and bad ones can damn even the best models to ruination. Normal maps can be baked from high-poly models, a process that I explained in a previous blog post . Diffuse maps, on the other hand, are created in image-editing software. There are many ways to make diffuse maps. For instance, you may copy and paste images together to form your diffuse map, as I explained in another blog post . Things get more complicated if your diffuse map has to follow the bumps and crevasses of your normal map. Such is the case with the snake and hydra texture, in which the scales on the diffuse map have to match those on the normal map. The key to accomplishing this is to use your model’s normal map – or better yet, its height map if it has one – as a basis for painting its diffuse map. There are many ways to do this. The method that...
