Yeah!

Great shots Daya, they make me feel souls of evil! A bit weird by the fluorblue, but I guess that is mapper's own right.
Sure pronounce the dark atmospheric effeckt.
Sixth shot is really good.

Coming soonish with the next AD update.

Nice One.

Looking good, nice and moody!

That looks spiffy as well! Definitely fitting of the AD tool set!

Rockwork is better...makes me think some enormous arcane force has levitated the structure, foundations and all.

A Couple Animation Tests

also trying to figure out how to make a proper gif. these are ~2.3mb, so that kinda sucks... need to work on that.

Ooh prettay!

Whoa - What Engine?

Darkplaces

#13702 posted by killpixel on 2016/06/17 13:48:59

How

#13703 posted by oh, that person on 2016/06/17 14:16:03

Did you get Darkplaces to look:

1) remotely normal, and then basing on that
2) that good?

Unfair Hate

#13704 posted by former_total_newbie on 2016/06/17 15:26:45

(Disclaimer: I am a Quakespasm user, with gl_nearest and square particles. My only real sin is that I don't turn model interpolation off).

It's not that hard to make DarkPlaces look fairly vanilla. Even the default settings in a fresh installation aren't that bad; once you've changed filtering to gl_nearest (which one would have to do in most engines anyway, I guess?) and turned off the blood stain effect, you're not that far from a vanilla aesthetic. Most of the garish bells and whistles aren't enabled by default. This is what a default DP installation looks like where I've only changed gl_texturemode to gl_nearest_mipmap_linear" and adjusted the resolution to my monitor's; nothing else.

And using DP doesn't mean you're automatically using "high res" replacement content. Every instance where I've seen DP look "bad" (from an old-school purist point of view), it's been where the user has enabled all the optional extras and used replacement content.

Yeah

#13705 posted by Kinn on 2016/06/17 16:00:40

I know it's possible to make Darkplaces not look completely offensive, but I've never actually seen anyone go ahead and do it...until now I guess.

#13706 posted by killpixel on 2016/06/17 16:36:39

DP supports basic (single stage) q3 shaders, that's what you're seeing.

The engine isn't perfect, I have my own short list of bug fixes and feature additions, but I never quite understood the hate it receives. Given that it's free and fairly easy to use I'm inclined to appreciate its existence :P Same goes for FTE. Cool/pretty shit has been made DP (xonotic, steelstorm, etc.)

However, DP is more of a developers/hobbyists engine than a quake players engine IMO.

Gorgeous

Good stuff killpixel, love the water effects!

Thank You, Sir

#13708 posted by killpixel on 2016/06/17 16:56:07

Yes.

Very nice!

Per-pixel Dithered Quantization

#13710 posted by mankrip on 2016/06/19 00:44:37

An update on my 8-bit color software renderer:

This is what 8-bit textures made with Floyd-Steinberg dithering look like.

And this is my approach, using the same texture resolution as the above picture.

Usual dithering algorithms for creating 8-bit images works per-texel, which is bad for scaling the texels afterwards; the intended color definition gets lost.
My algorithm compiles the textures in a format that allows for per-pixel color definition at any texel scale.

And this is an example of the texture quality I'm going to use in my game. The palette isn't final, that skybox wasn't made by me, and I'm still going to implement better support for TGAs with 8-bit alpha channels, so some things should improve.

Cool Stuff Mankrip

Very Impressive
