Not too shabby

Yay! My very first screenshots. Not a lot to show, but took some time, patience and work to get this model looking the way it does. I love it... so beautiful, but then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder so let me know what y'all think about one of the main characters (it's a PC at some moments and an NPC at other moments) from one of my games "The Kingdoms of Penta".

Head shot:

Back:

He is of the Cloud Kingdom race. (For new viewers refer back to my very first blog post) ^_^

Now I'm going to finish up on the clouds and the Castle.

Last, but not least check out the site www.nuclearnightmare.com It's a game company I'm now working for on a temporary/contract/freelance basis and I must say it's really cool so if you're into horror games then check it out!

Chow for now ;)

Opacity issue

I was going to put some screenshots of one of my characters in my game today,
but I was just wondering whether anyone knows how to use opacity in torque
because when I use opacity in max it looks cool but when I export to .dts
then in torque the opacity is off?

Another thing, does bump & displacement maps work in torque 1.5?

Any assistance is much apprciated ;)

Crazy 'ol procrastinator

At the moment am developing 3 very different games simultaneously. Most people would probably think it's crazy and with all my procrastination during the festive season....it probably is. But it's a challenge and I don't back away from one so at the moment am working on my fantasy game "The Kingdoms of Penta". In particular the Cloud Kingdom which means a lot of cloud work. Thus, I have been fiddling with the particle editor to get the look I'm going for. Am using various methods. Inluding cloud billboards as well as cloud meshes.

Since the characters are able to walk on clouds, I have also made use of collision detection.
Speaking of characters am also working on the main character model and the exterior of the Cloud Castle.

Milestone Deadline (10/01/2007)
-Clouds complete
-Main character complete
-Exterior of Cloud Castle complete
-Update of Document Design
-Post screenshots on site
