Cairean Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXWMdEpsk5A[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8j63E_WtZM[/media] Hello everyone, I'm thinking about starting a series of Pokemmo Mock-Ups, meaning screenshots that I altered in photoshop to show features that do not exist yet or will never exist. I know that there is a screenshot-thread already, but this thread is supposed to only contain fakes. If the mods think that this is not enough of a difference to justify a new thread I'll post them in the screenshot-thread in the future. Here an example: Original: [spoiler][/spoiler] Fake [spoiler][/spoiler] This mock-up features different things that probably will not be implemented, such as - reflections on water - lightsources (e.g. tails of charizards, windows) - shadows (barely visible) - blur (the farther things are away the more blurred they become) Feel free to post your own mock-ups, comment on my pictures or suggest/request certain mock-ups. MfG Yaesephir Edit: I'm not sure if this thread belongs in this forum or is better suited in the customization forum, they are so similar :/ Edit 2: more images: [spoiler] video I'm working on[/spoiler] another before/after comparison: before [spoiler][/spoiler] after [spoiler][/spoiler] Edit: Added some more: [spoiler] Original [spoiler][/spoiler] rain [spoiler][/spoiler] rain + lightning [spoiler][/spoiler] snow [spoiler][/spoiler] and completely unrelated: Nuclear explosion [spoiler][/spoiler] [/spoiler] AzizFTW, Perverse, Cyen and 7 others 10 Link to comment
TheGloriousWalrus Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Imagine if pokemmo looked like this O.O Link to comment
Jarrod0306 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Pretty neat, very good skills. I am always impressed by this sort of talent. Link to comment
MinyBoy5 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 It looks great, I wish this was in the game. Link to comment
TWDaryl Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Please repeat this in the suggestion thread, it's a brilliant idea. Link to comment
Cairean Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Thanks for the feedback - having a bit of background-knowledge about the creation of tile-based games I don't think that they'll implement something as this, as a complete rewrite of the graphics-engine could be necessary. I'm currently working on a mock-up video showing how this game could possibly look IF something like this was implemented. Stay tuned. Link to comment

In the video I'm working on you'll be able to watch moving shadows Link to comment
TWDaryl Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Nice, will you also make it so with a water Pokemon, a trail of water trails behind ect.? That would be cool. Link to comment

Cairean Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Here some new pictures (video will take a while... obviously) before [spoiler] [img]http://i.imgur.com/tvCgkTa.jpg[/img] [/spoiler] after [spoiler] [img]http://i.imgur.com/IHf5phe.jpg[/img] [/spoiler] I hope you like them (now with less gaussian blur and with more tilt shift ) Link to comment
Darkshade Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I really dislike the blur effect, however the other effects look wonderful. That being said, these shall remain 'mock ups' as a lot of this isn't doable with tiles, however perhaps in the future we'll look into doing something to make the game look better, and include such things as light sources.

Kelarr Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Light Sources. The realism. The fluentness. I melt. I can't wait for the video. Lucas 1 Link to comment
Cairean Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Okay, it looks like I'm the only person who enjoys blur/depth of field/tilt shift, so I'll stop using it Here is another screenshot from video, as you can see light affects the surrounding buildings (or maybe you can't see it, it's only a subtle change). [spoiler][img]http://i.imgur.com/unl3yzw.jpg[/img] [/spoiler] Also the player is the only person casting shadows as adding shadows for every single person is really time consuming (I have to keyframe every shadow individually because I'm not sure if there's an elegant way to make dynamic shadows in after effects... maybe via masks and a shadow receiver, I'll have to try & error a bit to see if it works). I also tried to make some ripples on the water surface but failed miserably (so I didn't include it in screenshot). If I don't get other suggestions I think I'll look into some weather effects next. (not sure when to upload the video - it's only 7 seconds long, I think I'll make a compilation video with other effects instead of uploading only this short clip) TWDaryl 1 Link to comment

Kelarr Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Looks really good. But for the snow one, it might be just me, but it doesn't look like there's much on the ground. Maybe it should be building in the trees or on the bushes. They all look great though. I like the shadows in the last one. Link to comment
Nebula Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 If only pokemmo looked like this.. Nice work. Link to comment
Cairean Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 The problem with snow on the ground is that it would remove the textures of the tiles... I'll look into it to see if there's a solution. Link to comment
TWDaryl Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 They need to do this ingame, now! It looks amazing. Link to comment

[/quote] It'll never happen, unfortunately. I agree though, a large portion of their attention should be focused on the aesthetics. Link to comment
