Dungeon Transitions

Post by sajon »

I wanted to be able to walk off the edge of one map onto another map with out a sudden open black space in the wall, so i created some eye candy to make the transitions appear as if there is a hall that continued onward. So i built a few models to extend the halls at an angle so they fade into the distance as well as transporting the party to the other map.
this series of transitions are for the dungeon tile set. I will work on other tile sets as i get time to do them.


Here is an example of my transitions.

This is what the bottom transitions looks like facing the direction of the arrow..

All the files needed to make you own transitions are located at my Drop box Link - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0mo7w80rmmi6 ... UGY9a?dl=0
You need to download the models folder and the custom_objects.lua file
There are left, right, and, center, models and, a single hallway. for all three ceiling and floor types.

*Also a nice added touch to is to add a teleporter on top of the transition and now items cross over to the other side, not sure if you could get monster or spells to work..

Maybe you accidentally tried sharing photos from a non-public dropbox folder? But in the main link I saw the video, very impressive!

This is a dream that become true! Maybe you can extend those transitions to the remaining sets! Keep up the great work!

I will continue to work on all the other sets as well...
I am still unsure about occluders and if these models need them or not.
If some one can tell me if i need occluders that would be great.....

Seeing that these models are on the border of the map and there is nothing to occlude behind them, you don't really need occluders. (haven't taken aclose look at the models themself, if any optimization is needed it would be LOD on the ones that are further away, and that doesn't need to be dynamic, the pillars that are more far away can just have a fixed lower LOD)
If you are interested I got some models that are alternative exits for the Pyramid tileset and the Castle tileset, I could send you link for them and you can add them in (to have like a "exit pack" all in one place kinda thing)
I totally understand it if you want to make your own also ;)

This is good stuff, keep it up.

Kind regards
Skuggasveinn.
