Custom Content Challenge: April 2015 (for real): The Small Details

[Legacy_Killmonger]

               

<Just between jags of mongering work>

 

Lots of small ambience building potential here.....

 

Like Dom Queron's works?

 

Placeables to help set the scene (like the "rocking old lady")

 

Many of the above mentioned placeables lend themselves to "simple modeling"

(which might encourage new users to model)

The useable butter churn comes to mind...

A useable (?) backgammon game.

or various types of kitchen mess....

 

Animated creature placeables are full of possibilities too:

 

Animals that perform very simple behaviours (a sleeping cat/ dog, bear? etc)

Old man smoking his pipe (in the rocking chair?)

A jeering and/or cheering group of drunken pub patrons

A stationary mob (pitchforks and torches)

 

...imho...

 

Also :

 

sleeping monsters...( a dragon for example)

A city/ harem watchman/ honour guard,

 standing at attention....

         (recalling the Monty Python-esque door/city guards)

 

<which could imply generic conversational recipes>

 

&:

a beckoning harlot. (perhaps from a balcony)

A musician playing drums/ horns/ fiddle

A "broken" street beggar (perhaps on wheels?)

"Break a deal? Spin the wheel"    < a cruel justice device ? 

 

<must go afk..... more mongering to be done>

 That's pretty awesome though. Although, the scene turns strangely grim in appearance when you draw your attention away from the children. A hooded man holding a torch and a blade approaches two small children. O.o Not the younglings!

That wasn't my intention. The hooded man is a premade of Artemis Entreri; It's the first character in my "localvault" folder, so its the one which is used by my game when I test a module.....

I've got a little bit of spare time this month since I have a week off from classes and a week off from one of my jobs. Working on a two area prefab - and entry area and a primary area - for easy drop into any module using Q v2.0. The primary area will unfold a linear story as the PC travels through it - the "small details" if you will.

 Too bad! Loool. Now you know how dark it looks, may it haunt you forever.

It is wise to rectify............

You know what would be cool is clothing laying on the ground/floor. Not neatly folded when you drop it, but dropped. Pant legs twisted and crossing, arm sleeves crooked, etc. Boots, one standing the other on its side. Robes, wrinkled and such. Maybe some with a ninety-degree bend, so we could place 'em over objects (like tables, dressers, etc).

I am probably going to do something like 20 book pre-fabs. At the moment I have these titles -

 

1. Adventures with the Green Fairy by W. Wood

2. Wot Yer Mutter Ne'er tol yer - 2 (Extra Blushing Edition) by Spahlrick

3. Tales of a Nymph by A. Satyr (retired)

4. Silver Machinations by H.Wind

5. Many a Sabbat by B. Widder

6. Explorations of Sanity by Y. Soggoth

7. In Search of Forever by Nina Secondus

8. The Wind is Blowing by Ali Chang

9. Conversations Suck by V. Timpalor

10. Precious Potions & Devastating Poisons (A Welsh Monk Mystery) By E.P.

11. Gems and Jewels for the Connoisseur by Rocky O'Fella

12. Sam Spade's Mining Guide and Catalogue by S.S.

13. World's End or How I Learned to Love the Sundering by Dr. S. Lob

14. Through the Valley by Bjorn Acin

15. Hammering Home - A History of Horseshoe Nails by Ini Boren

16. Jolly Japes and Illusory Pranks by Deeja Cyit

17. Hell Raising - Chants, Prayers and Spells for the Dark Practitioner an Anonymous Treatise

18. Cursed Cups A Guide for the Inebriated by Scheeza Lush

19. Salty Sue and Other Ghost Ships by M. McGu

20. Lawyers, Senators and Dons - A Game of Self-Aggrandizement (Deluxe Box Set)

 

As some of you may have gathered some (but by no means all) of these books have (disguised (usually badly)) real world cultural references (Brownie points for spotting them). Obviously the item icon for number 20 will be a box. Those that get turned into prefabs will have additional text in their descriptions.

 

Thoughts/comments anyone?

MORE HYENAS!

As I said in my first post, I'll be doing a series of Tabletop Animal Idols - how many different animals depends upon how much time I have this month.

Naturally, obviously, I have started with the Greatest Animal in the whole Galaxy (he raved without bias of any kind) - The Supreme Animal, the perfect life form, the single most glorious and powerful creature in the entire cosmos, the most blisteringly brilliant pinnacle of all evolution throughout Time and Space, the ultimate organism, destined to exterminate the lesser species, conquer the universe, dominate all other forms of life and take its rightful place as the SUPREME BEING! - The HYENA!

(Pretend there are another nine or ten paragraphs of rabid dribble extolling the wonders of Hyenas here, with scientific diagrams depicting their supremeness).

I'm not certain if these are quite the right size for tabletop idols yet. I don't want to make things so small they're just little grey blobs easily concealed behind a small book, but equally they've got to be small enough to fit on desks and things. I may adjust size further as well as textures. Whilst I'm not going to clutter the thread up with a post about every single different animal, I thought I'd just give you an indication of what rubbish I'm doing...

However, since I have to start with socking great big animals in order to make little shelf animals, I might just as well do a series of Socking Dirty Great Big Animal Statues as well as small ones...

I mean, in the context of the whole cosmos, a statue is a very small detail indeed.

Going to do some blodied standart weapons (Daggers (too lazy to do anything else) and tutorial how to do more)

PHoD, it would be nice to have a models with empty sockets, for all gem-plunderers out there '>

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Shadowing2029]

               

Thats it!

Some lootable statues or sarcophagi!

(just an idea)

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_PLUSH HYENA of DOOM]

               

I seem to recall MerricksDad pretty much covered Lumpy Things from which Gems can be Thieved in an earlier CCC, didn't he? What exactly did you have in mind, Werelynx, when you say empty sockets?

Not sure if I'll have time to implement some sort of receptacle system for zoomorphic statues this month. Still grappling with getting the second ALIEN Hak on the Vault at the moment before getting back to Animals on Shelves (of which there are eight and counting - the Carcharodon carcharias being my favourite so far... And before certain individuals - yes, I am looking at you, Tarot - ask me less than subtly about cats yet again, there's a Leaping Panther statue I think will keep you happy for a while...)

 

PS:- BioWare's sarcophagi are lootable, aren't they?
