This movie shows a new concept for tileset builders.
Basically, it's a group of tiles, which include a transparent window. Behind this window are very small buildings, and some very low poly animated models. In the background, some small skyboxes, changing with the time of the day (day, dusk, night and dawn)
This video is for a futuristic module, but the concept could be use for heroïc fantasy as well.
For example, you're in a Castle, and outside, a tremendous dragon is flying, preventing people from escaping.
You can do whatever you want.
As I had never seen such an idea before, I wanted to share it with other people.
If you have comments or critics, please do !
Update : A new video is added !
Update 2 : Another video, with a desert city interior, and the wonderful kissing animation by Lunecroquée.
Update 3 : A new video, showing another interior type.
Update 4 : The cockpit : A new video, using the same concept.
But this time I went a little bit further :
- The window tile is animated and the animation can be dynamically modified by script, using DayToNight and NighttoDay fonctions.
This allows to change the landscape either by scripting or by DM wand.
There are two versions of the same video, one in youtube for low connexion, the other one in wmv, available for download.
Goudea - you rule! :) Awesome work - probably best damn thing I have ever seen on the Vault! I am working on my own modern (post-apocalyptic) module for multiplayer purposes, and I would be one happiest creature on this planet if I could use it... Those tilesets, smoking cigarretes animations, models - ahh, simply most beautiful contet EVER I think :) Keep it up! Regards!

Thank you Darkvalley ! Do you want to know if I am planning to use this concept to medieval style tilesets ? Maybe, if I have time. When I'm done with this tileset, in a week or so, I have scripting to do to my module. And after this, I may do some tiles for generic bioware tilesets. I'm thinking of a basic city scene, with a trading cart moving all along the street. But it will depend on my free time :D _________________________ Goudea alias Enki.

Marvellous work Goudea ! Did you plan to give us "old D&D-style-Gamers/Builders" the possibility to use your work too, or is it only ment to fit with the (realy nice) D20 content ? I'm curious about your progress in work and got a eye on this vault site ;-) greetings Darky

I am currently creating a new group using another concept. A window tile animated with script. I'll post the new video on tomorrow. _________________________ Goudea alias Enki. Crawling animations Futuristic city tileset New concept in interior tileset Futuristic interior tileset NWNLauncher

I have been rejoicing since Stacy first released the Starship Interiors set and d20 released Modern. (Not to mention the excellent futuristic city tileset Goudea already released. All I can say is "Well Done!" and please release all the haks that you guys have been working on. I and other builders are drooling at the chance to play with them. Thank you so much for working on this. It is people like you that are keeping this community alive. _________________________ Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.

Thanks for that Goudea. Got to admit I'm as much interested in the creature models and heads, and the emotes, as much as anything else. I'm starting to put together something Star Wars based as a campaign using D20, hence the tile sets would be great for the setting but the creatures would be truly amazing to have. Knowing how much of the content is intended for release, and roughly when it would be available, would be wonderful.

WOW, your stuff is amazing please release to the public

Well, it's good question ! We are currently discussing in my team to decide if we release all our hak (tilesets, classes, 2da, creatures, etc ...) or some of them only, and when. For sure, this tileset is going to be released, as it is just un "upgrade" of Stacy's starship interiors. I have still 5 easy groups to do before it is done. So I think this tileset is going to be ready for released in two weeks. The problem is that I want to release all our haks on the vault in one single form instead of using different entries for each stuff. So I am not sure for the moment ... If many people can't wait two or three month for all haks to be released, I will probably do as I did before, and submit this tileset as a seperate content. In this case, in two weeks probably as I said before. Thanks for the comments ! _________________________ Goudea alias Enki.
