Well it's been a long, long road getting to this point, but here it is: a test shot of the initial two completed tiles. This is a port of the NWN Illithid Interior tileset; my particular additions are the raised upper walls and the two-toned ceiling. I wanted to make the tiles generally taller than the common NWN style, so the top of the wall is at 4.5m (compared to the more typical 4.2m for standard NWN2 tiles).

 

 

I think it looks fairly decent, and is definitely exotic. Unfortunately, the tileset doesn't have many tile variants, so it's probably best used for smaller, specialty dungeons. What it does have though are some nice metatiles.

 

More shots to come as I complete the final texturing pass...

[FaerzressSparkles]

Yes!

With the lines being curved like that, it almost seems like it would work well for an underwater lair. Sahuagin maybe?

Yes there is an elven style (sea elf?) NWN reskin on the Vault; I was going to give that a try later on. Hopefully I won't run into another problem with texture swapping with NWN tileset ports. (This time I deliberately avoided including textures with alpha transparency in the main wall/floor/roof texture files in the hope it would swap properly.)

Hallway shot:

Here is the Illithid arena metatile; probably my favorite in the set.

 

 

Not sure how large critters fit through the opening on the other end, but oh well...

Crisco, lots and lots of Crisco.

The NWN tile builders seemed to like creating underdark jail cells with a big hole in the floor.

4760's door port fits the theme nicely, although I'm not sure why they made them arched at the top. (It shows up when you open the door.)

 

 

The tileset theme definitely has an overall 'alien' look to it.

 

[FaerzressSparkles]

I cannot wait to try this tileset in NWN2!

[rjshae]

This cosy little chamber is the Den metatile. Each of the niches along the wall is an emplacement for one of 4760's pod sleeping chambers.

Now all we need is an Elder Brain.

[FaerzressSparkles]

Awesome!

Yup, that's the next metatile.

For this evening's viewing amusement, I'd like to present the teleport pad and an unusual column. Note the big creepy eye I added to the ceiling.

 

 

Nearly finished now... just a few more tiles and a couple of metatiles to texture, then I do my final sweep. I might add a couple of new tiles while I'm at it.

 

I have been surprised about how much of the UV map I needed to correct. There are various little flaws that show up, particularly along the walls.  The blocky floor texturing isn't that great either. But overall it looks pretty nice.

[rjshae]

And here it is at last: one elder brain floating in goo.

 

 

Parts of the ceiling are showing, but I'll fix that on the last pass. I think it looks pretty decent.

[FaerzressSparkles]

Great job, I cannot wait to try this tileset out!

[Tchos]

I like these.  More fantastical fantasy!

[MokahTGS]

So crazy request....can we have one version without the brain and just the pit with tubes?

[4760]

Yes, that way we could add a brain with animated tentacles! Where would I find it in NWN models?

Sure.

 

Yes, that way we could add a brain with animated tentacles! Where would I find it in NWN models?

 

The elder brain group is: tii01_e01_01, tii01_e02_01, tii01_e03_01, tii01_f01_01, tii01_f02_01, tii01_f03_01, tii01_g01_01, tii01_g02_01, tii01_g03_01. (As you know, I have to scale the tiles by x0.9.) Here are the original exported tga files. Note that in the NWN tile group, the goo is animated so it bobs up and down a bit.

[FaerzressSparkles]

An animated and (hopefully) targetable Elder Brain? That would be sweet! Smashing an Elder Brain to bits just for fun would be Underdark mischief galore!

[4760]

Great! Too late now to start working on it, but I'll sure find time tomorrow.

[rjshae]

Okay, one illithid vat chamber, complete with plumbing... or maybe a laundry room? The pool is traversable, so you can get to the back corners.

 

 

Anyway, all tiles are now textured, so all that's left now is some cleanup work and final testing.

[rjshae]

The tileset is now available:

• Nexus
• Vault

Please give it a try and let me know if you find any issues.
