More TNO Placeables Coming Soon........

[Legacy_henesua]

               Excellent work. I am most interested in stuff like the butterflies and the flickering light.

Have you included a VFX placeable that generates flickering light? That is something that is sorely needed in my opinion. It could be associated with a campfire or fireplace and add some great ambiance.

BUT regarding those candles I have a few requests:

• I would love to see one of the classic candle holders with a half melted candle. And... my motivation for this is that I would like to use it as a holdable as well as placeable candle.
• Candles in various stages of melt. Take your tall skinny candle and provide it at decreasing heights with increasingly large pools of  candle drippings at the base in each iteration. Would be just the thing for an old crypt at a necromancer's party.

               I'd use a flickering light plc quite often if that was done.

               There is a placeable in the 'Building Adornments' section that is a flickering flame from the original TNO torch.  However, it does have the flame and not just the baked in flickering light source.  I'll work on just a set of flickering lights with no flame (and different colors) so folks can place them wherever.  

Realize though that dynamic lights like this are hard on the NWN system.  I eliminated shadows from the aforementioned flickering flame as even 6 placements of that was slowing down frame rates significantly.  Reason being is that the engine treats them as dynamic lights and recalcs based on the frequency of the animation (roughly 1/4 second period each).  I will see if other optimizations can be done as well.  

I'll dig into some additional candles with melting also.  That shouldn't be too tough with the right textures.  Stay tuned.

               Good stuff! Thanks.

The idea about the vrious stages of meltng is that you could build in a visual clock by swapping candles in and out periodically. The candle would appear to become shorter. So the idea is that it looks like the same candle getting shorter. AND you could also throw a ton of these around it would look like a diverese array of candles. Very natural.

               That might be why our inn loads poorly but only in certain parts of it. We used the (1.69?) flickering torches with similar lighting.

               Great stuff!!!!!  So many little things in there with such great ambience! The gems are amazing, the mirrors are a greatly missing touch,  the flickering candles for the wizards study, etc.. all of them absolutely awesome. Thanks for the work on these!

               Beautiful work, Tiberius.  Looking forward to seeing more of your creations.

               Yeoman's work as always.

Re: Fallen Timbers. Bioware's "Fallen timber" is a fallen timber in a building or on a ship rather than a felled log.
