Thread: I'm tired of reused Inventory Graphics..

    A little bit of colorization on the some standard inventory pics could go a long way to reducing those kind of errors..

    I did this quick little test and just colorized parts of the Blaster icon, might be worth doing, this type of thing is quick and easy,.. not sure if the weapon textures would need to be recolored to match in game, but if this is just to give the 'inventory' graphics a bit more help for distinguishing between unique or otherwise 'valued' items from the 'basic' items, it's an easy fix.

    Think these will work for the Multi-Hued Gems?

    I'm with Mastablasta on this one; they don't look "real" to me. They look like a gem with a paint job, instead of naturally reflecting and refracting different lights. I'm not sure if this would work, or if your program can do it (mine can't :P) but what about setting up a rainbow spectrum of lights but setting the individual faces so that one colour light is only reflected by one or two faces? That may look terrible, but depending on how subtle the colour is it may give the ilusion of "splitting" the light, much like a prism does.

    Very nice looking art!

    Maybe FC could just use your art?

    It's very nice.

    McKnuckleSamwich saved me from a double post, hurrah!

    I took me saying that my program couldn't render seperate faces with different colours as a personal insult (from myself... yeah I'm odd) and set out to prove myself wrong.

    Apologies for the general low quality of the picture (all the colours are pastel for some reason) however I think it illustrates what I meant by the different colours per face quite nicely: http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/v...i_hued_gem.jpg

    If you wanted to know I did it by creating several duplicate "gems" and deleting different faces off each one, then colouring the duplicates with different colours (no textures here, this really was a fast job). I suspect that I could make it look better by having kept a full, white "gem" inside the mutilated ones and setting the coloured faces to a high transparency with a touch of reflection, but as I said, I whacked this out in an hour and wasn't realyl aiming for the best picture ever.

    the problem is not getting it to look like a 'specular' prism hue thing.. all I need to do is apply the texture to the specular map (and in this case the transparency map also) to get it to sparkle like a rainbow of colors is shining through the gem.. see..

    http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...cular_test.jpg

    but the problem with this is when the gem is reduced to the size of the game icons (48x48) it does not end up looking good. I tried it first, and found that applying the texture to the diffuse map gave a better result when reduced.

    alternately I could load the models and 'detach' each face then in bryce assign a different glass color to each face. I'm willing to bet the result will be prety much similar to the first attempt.

    I'll see if I can come up with something.

    Those would look more at home in a fantasy setting. The ones currently ingame put the thoughts more along the line of a hightech material canister of some kind. Not a glass vial with a cork stopper. One could assume that the canister the plasma comes in is created by the bio comminutor through an internal nanobot factory, and as such having it make a vial with a corkstopper would seem kind of ... weird

    Also, the above multihued gem is much better than the last one. Perhaps you could work with what you're doing there to get a better version.

    That is so spooky, I had a similar idea for the VP items found in Lost Eden missions. I use a custom GUI with a different colour so I deliberatly didn't use objects that were transparent all the way through but it's a very similar idea: http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/v...dus/Image3.jpg

    Anyway, for the people who start shouting that I copied Docaholic, I take a day at elast to make a picture like that, and a further couple of hours setting up lighting and rendering several times to get the best effect. Given that I'm posting this only an hour after Doc's post... well.. look at the last thing I did in an hour. I think the quality will speak for itself.

    You are absolutely right, I should have thought High Tech for any items like containers in AO. How's this version?

    Too contemporary and looks impractical compared to the level of technological sophistication present in the AO universe.

    Kind of... dull. Looks like an icon out of Syndicate Wars
    A kind of blisterpack would seem more along the lines of what's ingame now, or a tube/round container with a kind of endcap on each end.

    I think even in the future Blood Plasma would come in Bags considering it has a real application outside of being sold for money.

    Bag can be hung up. Bag can be packed flat. Bag are see though.

    And 25,000 years in the future we still use containers to hold liquid...

    These two suggestions gave me this idea: http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/v...roduction2.jpg

    It's not a bag, but it also looks like is has an actual purpose (though from the looks of it that purpose might be interogating Rebles on the Death Star... it looks a little more vicious than I intended). Unfortunatly most of the detail is lost when I shrank it down to icon size but it's a step in the right direction of "high tech". Oh ye sand the liquid inside is also green. I still had the alien items in mind when I made it but it could easily be changed to red (or yellow.. wiki it up) for Blood Plasma.

    P.S. Docaholic I'm hoping you don't mind me linking to these images I made, or at the very least you can use them for inspiration. If you want to tell me to GTFO of your thread then go ahead, I won't mind.


    Edit to avoid Double Posting: Here's another picture I made which, I believe, keeps more with the current graphics for the Lost Eden missions VP items. No container, no fancey wrapping, just a few blobs of alien bio-material: http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/v...l_and_icon.jpg. Nothing high-tech about it, but sometimes simpler is better.

    First Scabadus, I never mind when people post eye candy, and it's a good thing when people participate in a hot thread.

    I was thinking a bit along the same lines, some kind of 'extractor' thing with a probe you stick into the monster parts to extract the blood plasma. I kept the actual 'plasma container' cylindrical to kind of match the in-game plasma.

    http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...asma_Thing.jpg

    Not sure if this thing is an alternate biocomm, or a new icon for blood plasma.

    Comments welcome, Cheers!
