That article lead me to this http://forgottenreal...m/wiki/Phaerimm

Quite a potential for a plot there. Looks like the float eye creature I already made in the body portion.

Well, PJ could use one.

Question is do these things float or are they just worms? I took from the pic they could float

They're like beholders in that they move via natural levitation.

Second static grass placed effects set added, based on Zpirit's Grass Pack. They're, mmm... different.

I thought I'd try a little experiment in using fallen leaf effects:

 

 

They don't play well with shadows, unfortunately. Maybe the thing to do is have a second, lower layer with a darker texture to simulate the shadow? Or a reversed face with a darker diffuse setting. *shrug*

[Tchos]

I like it.  As for a shadow under the leaves, how about just a fuzzy shape like the fx dirt shadow they liked to use under the tables in SoZ?

[PJ156]

It looks great and I play with shadows off

 

I use fx_dirt_shadow all the time in my interiors. I have made larger ones that might suit this application.

Where are those leafs from

[kamal_]

I believe my ground texture pack has varieties of fallen leaves. It may be more useful than fallen leaf placeables. If the pack doesnt have fallen leaves that would be simple enough to add.

Fair enough. It was just a brief experiment anyway.

Well when I need an autumn scene I'll post about it in my tournament of crowns log and people can chime in.

[rjshae]

What I think we need more of for forest scenes are more fallen branches and trees, plus a broken stump or two. Right now the pickings are too repetitive and dull. I'd like to have a massive, moss-covered tree for a bridge, like the one they had in King Kong (2005). More varieties of climbing ivy would be good as well; the speedtree version doesn't work for me. I'd be helpful to have a variety of ground bushes, although I think the foliage pack might work for that.

[Eguintir Eligard]

I will be making giant vines and beanstalk next for the toc campaign... Its a very green city idea.

I've got a fallen tree as a bridge for my campaign, I'll add moss for you Bob.

His name is raj

But the signature says "bob".

Nice. Thanks 4760.

 

Possibly some of the speedtree textures might be useful for creating a bunch of fallen branch clutter for a realistic forest. I'm going to look at some of the better tree models online to see if their branches would work well. If not, then I'll just make a few.

EE's been making up new names for people for some reason.

There is a nice fallen log placeable mentioned in the Hidden Content thread. Its model has been named as a bench (plc_br_bench01), and it has no entry in placeables.2DA, but the model is there. I've scaled it up and used it to span a narrow creek (it's actually got polygons underneath it).

[rjshae]

Over on CGTextures, under the Nature > Trees category, there is a nice set of tree billboards that somebody has already gone to the trouble of trimming and making alpha transparent. These will be nice to have as additions to the existing tree planes--possibly as effect skins applied to the existing plane models.

 

In the Nature > Forest section is a set of overhead forest shots that could provide some nice additional OM covers.

 

Ed.: Yup, worked like a charm; two more tree planes added.

I found this site called Reiner's Tilesets that has some interesting looking models under the 3D Graphics menu. Now that the monster Sea Caves tileset is finally done, that frees up a chunk of time to go looking at ports such as this. If there's a model that you think would be particularly useful, let me know.

 

Ed.: Meh, they're not that great. Ah well.

The urban housing project continues: at left, the "Rat's Nest", a decaying former watch tower that has been adopted for use by thieves, brigands, or what have you; at right is a piece from poor folks' urban housing.

 

 

Unfortunately, both pieces cause camera problems, so I'm just planning to use them for filler decoration.

[BartjeD]

That's a shame, they look like really nice models

[rjshae]

I think the building has the camera problem because of the overhanging texture. I tried avoiding any collision mesh being placed over the door, but it had no effect. The tower... well I seem to get results like that whenever there's a ramp by a wall. Not much I can do about it really. Ah well.
