TLD: Official Porting FAQ

Is that somehow related to Warband vs M&B 1.x?

[Kazzan]

Yes it is, Warband has Normal Maps, and make armors and weapons look better while M&B doesn't.

Sorry for Offtopic dear developers.
But do you still require a Scene maker? Just wondering, my skills in sceneing have improved since my last offer of sceneing.
Doubt you'll accept.

Triglav is the person you'll want to get in contact with, I believe. He's our main scener.

[Triglav]

Well...post screenies of some of your recent work and we'll see what impression that leaves.

You'll find screenshots of some of my scenes, some better than others, yeah, they are made in Warband, but I can work in M&B aswell. Also, I am a detail whore. I am uploading screenshots as I type. Also, most of these are villages or castles, but i can do most types of scenes.

[GetAssista]

Good scenes. I assume you did AI meshes for the castles too?
I see gutekfuitek's trees there. Did he port his polished landscapes to Warband after all? Or those are just same direct flora substitutes out of PL brfs w/o collision meshes?

[Kazzan]

Yeah, it works the same as in regular M&B, just the big rocks screw up, with their huge collision mesh, so I refrained from using them. I also found a way to get polished buildings into warband.
Not all the maps are finished yet, so i haven't done AI meshes for all of them. Most of my older maps were sadly deleted when I upgraded versions during Warband beta...  But I have done my fair share of AI meshing, and I myself think that I can do them fairly fast.

Not bad at all.

[Kazzan]

Thanks. Your making the important scenes right?

[DaBlade]

Yeah, Trig usually takes care of a lot of scenes

Nice work on those scenes, Kazzan.

[Kazzan]

Thanks again, I do what I can, with the scene props at hand.
I'm going on a vacation for the weekend. Just to let you guys know.


Oh yeah one more question, so I don't feel as ashamed over my offtopicness: What kind of terrain are you going for? Realistic, dark and gritty, light, all-is-well paradise land?

All kinds of MiddleEarth is a vast and diverse land. We can put all kinds of scenes in game
I'll get to you later today

Something like this
