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

    How's this for an icon for Chunk of Living Dragon Flesh: http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/v...gonflesh2.jpg?

    Mabey a little... not chunky enough?

    I believe the armour itself is a unique icon, but the flesh itself isn't.

    Yet.

    Is your GUI getting in the way of playing AO?
    Do you want to be able to take screenshots quickly and easily without hotbars, wings and chat windows getting in the way?
    Are you getting tired of that blue colour scheme?

    Armor icon is used on other stuff. In-game mesh is unique though.

    Wow, those ring graphics are really decent, would love to see some of those ingame.

    Especially the large one on the far right, would make a great graphic for the novictum rings.

    I've been playing around with weapon models again today and I've come up with a melee weapon this time. This is a 1HE weapon, I didn't have any specific item in mind when I made it: http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/v...1HESword-1.jpg

    Wood handle? Definitely an RK era weapon.

    I don't see why Wood wouldn't still be a viable building material, especially for the Clans. Unlike Omni-Tek, the Clans cannot just import vast amounts of metal for the production of high-tech weapons.

    Use all the RP justifications you want, the trend since SL has been to not really acknowledge that Rubi-Ka, the planet, is akin to the mining towns of the Old West; a remote outpost with a fraction of the technological goods in more established areas.

    I'd be all for brining this visual theme back, but as it stands, that's an RK weapon if I ever saw one.

    I really do not mind people posting ideas or icons of their own design, and if I like the idea I'll see about taking it a step up and doing a proper render/texture.. I won't say the living dragon flesh image was total crap, it did inspire me to make this, did I do it justice?

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

    And, I have no idea why, but I tried making a new 'Barrow of Strength' not sure I like the current results. you be the judge.

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

    Cheers!

    P.S. it is not my intention to do or make new armor or weapon pictures, since all weapons and armor have in-game models to go with them. making a new inventory weapon for example and not having the model in game may only serve to confuse people, and others would be like "what the heck? the icon doesn't even look close to the weapon I'm wielding."

    note: I'm going to try to hash out all the Arul gems by tomorrow, then back to more rings and stuff.

    Cheers v2.0!

    That Dragonflesh render is so much better than mine it's not even funny (Though that wasn't hard to better mine... you're nice to not say it was total crap but we both know it was )

    Still, glad I could be of use.

    While that may be true for some weapons, others (especially grenade launchers) are downright confusing icons. The first time I saw a grenage launcher in my inventory I wouldn't have guessed it was a gun... not to mention the mesh looking nothing like the icon.

    To Infiltrate: you are absolubtly right of course. This is Docaholic's thread and he is unarguably a better artist than me. To tell the truth while I am still a student now I am considering a career in the games design industry, and after FunCom expressed an interest in Doc's work.. well.. I decided to push my luck and post a few images myself and see if I couldn't get some professional interest (not for money mind you... mostly to help make AO a better game and slightly to be able to put that on my CV). No such luck unfortunatly; I seem to need more practise.

    I wasn't trying to "ride on his tails" or anything like that, it had simply never occured to me that FunCom would ever use players' work (kinda dumb considering Dovve's map is ingame). So that is why I have been posting images. I'm going to carry on making a few AO based models/icons, and if anyone wants to see them they can send me a PM and ask for the link (I honestly don't believe my skills deserve their own thread, I'll use my website), but from now on I'll keep out of Doc's thread.

    Your right. Its why Clan kill Omni-tek employees and take their weapons gear, and the spoils of war that they were protecting. So they pay for our goods

    btw no screws in AO!!! whats wrong with you has to be some other way you can fasten the blade to the handle

    Then read what Doc posts and put Scab on ignore if it bothers you so damn much. Doc obviously has no problem with it, and neither do the majority of those perusing the thread. Hell, I have plenty of creative ideas but I lack even Scabs level of skill, otherwise I'd be posting my attempts also in the hope Doc could use them as a base and perhaps offer a critique here and there. So kindly stop derailing the thread and don't post if you can't add something constructive, if you catch MY drift.

    As for my constructive opinion of the hour, I think Scab has some good ideas even if he is limited in his ability to recreate them, whereas Doc has the creative ability to make the most of Scabs ideas as he sees fit, i.e. the living dragonflesh ( which I like very much, by the way ). So I have no problem with seeing a creative colaboration between the two when possible, as it just adds more eye candy for the rest of us.

    Why is that? Perennium weapons use bolts, after all.

    About the Arul gems

    Suggestion for the arul gems. The cut on the stones is unrealistic. I suggest using some real or similar to real gem cuts. It could be, for example: Round cut for lowest and then add one tip for each level. That would be round, pear, marquis, triangle, square and pentagonal. Also the gem rough usually doesnt look like in game. Cut gemstones are usually made of the harder minerals, and are either found clear or with little rock or amourphous materials attached. Meaning, that for rough stones u can use rounded and slightly irregular figures or clean (but generally broken) crystals. Pearls and other organic gem materials can be represented the same way in the rough and polished, the only difference is that polished gems have better color and are shinnier (my engrish is showing i think ). Jewellery metals: Silver is the shinniest (again ), gold and platinum dont polish as well, and platinum is much stronger and more expensive then the other 2 , jewellery made with platinum is therefore usually thinner.

    Just a few suggestions, for the great work Doc is doing. I think he should be renamed to "Lord of the Purty Rings"

    Great work, grats!

    You're pretty much right. Clans would have production, but it wouldn't be as high volume as Omni-Tek's. Therefore Clans obtain a lot of their weapons, armor and Medicine from two sources.

    1) Killing or Stealing from Omni-Tek.
    2) Buying them from Neutrals who first bought them from Omni-Tek.

    Some would argue smuggling stuff onto the planet, I can't say it's wrong, but it since it would be a high risk activity with high risk of death (Aliens and OTAF) in space, I don't see the Clans smuggling in items like basic firearms and body armor due to the astronomical cost.

    Ok, here are the arul gems in a nice chart, I think they will work, yuppers I sure do.

    http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...s_Sample-1.jpg

    Note: the only thing I could make look half way decent for the 'cracked' gems is to make a 2d overlay of cracks and just stamp it on the uncut versions. I don't think it's necessary to get 'too realistic' as long as there is some distinction between the gems.

    Comments welcome, and Oh, I only saw one post with color suggestions so I went with his choices.. the only exception is his choice for the desert one. I took the beige color one.

    Cheers!

    For some reason my first thought when I saw your Barrow Strength was that someone made a yalm out of flesh.

    Still, great work.

    And a request; Could you think of something for Superior Ancient Combat Tuner / (Infused) Ancient Nano Enhancer / Dust Brigade Notum Infuser / Bazzit's Alien Library ... and so on. That icon is used in way too many things. :\

    Also, WTB an update on what's going on with FC.

    Wow, I have to say I wasn't to impressed with the colours originally, but when they're put together like that they do look amazing.

    Any plans on putting them on the actual bracers if you're going to redesign them as well?

    It works and people would be able to understand it. The only real way to make the cracked gems look really cracked is to actually break apart the model and put some distance between the pieces.
