VG Remix - diablo infernal gate

mitchcamrob

Hey. so, really late start i know, but couldnt pass up a chance to play around with diablo, favorite game ever.

Think back on diablo 2 when you finish act 3 and the cut scene of tal rasha, Mephisto and the wanderer. This is my favorite image of diablo ripping himself out of the wanderer's body.

I was going to try the pillar which they stand around however all the alphas would be too much of a head ache for me.

Started this Monday the 5th. this is how far i am so far.

Got a 492 tri diablo done with texture :poly142:[SKETCHFAB]1384643676f64585b125c23d83cb8dec[/SKETCHFAB]

Im trying to do the inferanl gate using alphas, however this whole 1bit alpha is annoying me in the fact that i cant exactly get it working. I thought that i would follow a post, saying that u just simply save ur alpha channel as a png8 file, then decrease the number of colours down to two, however, when i do this i get an odd looking see through gate but with lots of black. i have done this in sketchfab by simply plugging the diff file into the opacity. this is wrong as i know its not 1bit. any advice from people??

the bridge looks very average because of its 64x64 map. :poly127::poly118:

For Sketchfab : Under materials -> Diffuse -> Click the Thumbnail of the texture -> Remove the check for Bilinear Filtering.

This will remove the pixel filtering that makes low res textures look blurry and causes artifacts by interpolation among UV edges. Your textures and presentation will look a lot better.

The bridge doesn't tile very well, try using the photoshop filter offset on the texture by half it's resolution and paint the edge together so it tiles seamlessly.

For the gate remember to turn off bilinear filtering; you may also want to use extra polygons to create some flames that give it depth.

haha totally forgot about the offset filter for the bridge. thanks didnt even notice it until u said it too. Yeah the gate is difficult because i wanna keep within the 100 tri limit.
