I think I've finally got the smirk I was looking for. Can anyone guess where the face came from?

Add to that the monsters SEEM smaller than in BoE - thus detail is harder to add. Just my opinion.

Joint Scenario Authorship... in Blades of Avernum
BoE Posse
Member # 15
Profile Homepage #7
There was a BoE Project - it even had a name - that had several serious authors involved. It failed. With the exceptions noted already, this just hasn't worked. There's no $$$ or other incentive involved, people come and go in the community too fast, and quite frankly, very few people have the stubborn patience to do the work needed.

It's too bad - this would be a way to create a great world.

Sending Graphics to the Louvre in Blades of Avernum
BoE Posse
Member # 15
Profile Homepage #6
The form generates a e-mail message with all the needed information (if it works). Then, you just attach the file, and send the e-mail message.

If you are sending more than one graphic, please ZIP them into one archive first - otherwise they end up scattered on my system.

If the form doesn't work for you, just enter the information the form asks for manually into the e-mail, attach the graphic, and send.

Color swapping? in Blades of Avernum

True ONLY if you are handy with a graphics editor. For those that are not, having these graphics handy is worthwhile.

The entire point of the graphics DB is to remove a barrier some might face in development of a good scenario. Color-shifted graphics MIGHT be handy in a number of scenarios, so let's make it easy to use them.

The more barriers like this we can ID and remove, the more likely we are to see lots of good scenarios. This is my philosophy, and the driving reason I support these efforts.

Now, having said that, we DO need more original graphics for the Louvre. C'mon, those of you who can edit graphics - give it a try!

The Louvre now holds 300+ graphics, with still more to be processed. Most of these are edits of existing graphics by Daniel Ray. I'd really like to see new, original graphics as well. A simple way to start is to take two existing graphics and meld them together - a winged cow, for example. C'mon - give it a try!

Or take other Spiderweb graphics - like from Nethergate - and modify them.

BTW - Your's truly has created two new graphics for the Louvre! As I catch on, hopefuly I'll improve.

Hopefully, I'll catch up to all submissions soon.

I like the idea! But it probably won't happen. And poor Daniel Ray would be out of a job!

BTW, Brett, did you recieve the latest batch of graphics I sent in?

DBR

You CAN submit graphics in JPG format if you want to.

Yes, I've received your gaphics, DBR - but I will probably not process them until this weekend. :(

Possible, but unlikely, as this is a Penn State server maintained 24/7 and hit by thousands of users constantly - I would have heard something. More likely the pipeline between here and you was broken.

You could do this via nodes in BoE, so I'm guessing you can do this in BoA. Great technique for making a cursed item return again and again!

A Graphics Experiment in Blades of Avernum
BoE Posse
Member # 15

The program is Poser, and it is not free - but a lot of free stuff is available for Poser.

As for Drakey's prefs - I am still working on the smirk, the baby drake at her feet,etc.

The point is - for BoA graphics, once you set a character up, you can easily pose it in the required positions, snap a picture, construct your graphics sheet, and in the end have very pseudo-3D characters for BoA!

FYI - I bald warrior in BoE's splashscreen was done in Poser - probably version 1 or 2.

I've been experimenting with Poser for use in development of BoA graphics. Thinks look promising. While this isn't in BoA form, I think it may be my splash graphic for my to-be-developed BoA site.

See the Graphic.

Put the current record count in blue.

Question about Items - I see most people are submitting an item graphic with two views. Is this needed? If someone could go to my BoA graphics Design page (accessible via the Louvre now) and check what I've written on Items for technical accuracy, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
