Scene from a Movie - Minotaur0

[AlexM]

very nice start!

[Lee3dee]

looking good! Can't wait to see more.

[Bic-B@ll]

there needs to be a bar of soap in there somewhere

[Spellbinder]

Good stuff Mino, keep it up!

[Minos]

Thanks guys!

I screwed the lightmaps yesterday but I know how to fix it. The lighting still needs major rethinking.

Crits/suggestions are welcome.

The Neon Signs seem to be fullbright - keeping the models a little bit lit/shadowed will help the readability alot.

[Minos]

Did some more work last night. The entrance is more accurate now, and I threw in some lights to test the mood etc I also improved the readability on the lou´s tavern sign.

I think my home monitor needs some adjustments... the lighting has cool contrast on it but it looks a bit washed out on my work monitor. How does it look for you?

[PhilipK]

the neons are nice but the specular on the ground really bleeds out to white on quite a large amount. But yeah the actual building looks cool

[Sentura]

needs anti alias. the glows around the green/lower neons make it look as if it doesn't give off enough light to hit the ground. rest looks good though, i like the top neon sign and the general architecture.

Fight Club for real! Oh and Looking great mino!

[Jenn0_Bing]

The sign looks much better now, the improved entrance looks much more interesting too.

[Minos]

Hey guys, another update!

I decided to take a dramatic decision and go with unique textures for the main building. I also added my own twist to it. I still need to do normals and speculars but I´ll leave that for later. Enjoy:

How do you get that neon glow effect in the engine?

How do you get that neon glow effect in the engine?

It´s actually quite simple. I used a 100% white 16x16 texture for the diffuse and added a constant3vector as Emissive. You can set the color/intensity of the emission on the constant3vector properties.

Looks like the right call! Looking forward to seeing this version lit up in the engine.
