After Painkiller showed the fighting system, its time to present screenshots of the first level.

@CD_saber
I really enjoy watching these images. Looks really nice .
You and Painkiller works together on this project? If yes this is great combination beacuse i really like his fighting system, and it would be interesting to see it in this level .

@CD_Saber :
Great , looks professionnal.
On first screen , i don't know why , but rocks and buildings
seems too much illumintade compared to the rest of level !
For example the buildings could have some bigger shadow or SSAO
to avoid that "cutting" edges : bright Building posed on
dark terrain ???

But it's only noticeable on first screen, and for an indie project that's already amazing level !

@ratchet. very good start.i dont do much hand painted texturing, but it always fun to see it in other peoples work

@saber pretty good so far. a little bare(wip i think anyways, right?), but well built :), one can easily look at those pics and see where all the little details would fit and the beauty that the levels could have when finished.

another some more detailled wall texture :

@saber: Looks good and as it was a lot of work. I would increase the terrain's brightness a little, though.

@ratchet: New texture is way better than the old one, good work, but I dislike the seams/ the plain background color, it needs more detail.

Thanks SuperKu ,
i'm beginning in hand painting

some little reffining :


very simple tree wood attempt :

@ratchet: which paint tool are you using o.O(cant see from the screens :P)

ha ha ... it's not a pure 2D painting program in fact ...
so yes perhaps hard to recognize : it's 3D coat

Yes 3D coat is scultping,retopo,uv tool, but also great painting tool.
It has a very usefull feature that is Texture Tile making.
You choose the resolution and you can paint on the maps you want : diffuse, normal, specular.
You have :
-layers
-brushes
-masks
-bézier curves, reactangles, paths
-several lighten/Darken tools
-simple blurr (just press Shift when painting)

I forgot , you can indeed paint in 3D on your 3D model and any of the maps (diffuse/Norm/spec).

@Ratched: Sounds interestng
