#Carmageddon modder. #BRender archeologist. Lowpoly. Optimisation.

Done with this. Kept it as just a driveable brushwork, and as much texture details as poss. Also enabled shading to help define the geometry. And swap wheel textures upon acceleration. Might be surpising, it's not easy with #Carmageddon.
#DOSgaming #retrogaming #modding #IonFury Image To make things easier; I translated the gradients from the Ion Fury palette to arbitrarily selected ranges in the C1 palette (ouch my eyes). Then used a custom #BRender shadetable to assign new gradients (i.e. red, grey, yellow) to these ranges (and enable shading). Image

Default #Carmageddon 2 24bit to 16bit (#BRender RGB565 pixelmap) texture conversion VS dithered RGB565. While it's ok in original 640x480, the dithering pattern becomes too annoying in hires. Should give it another try with noise rather than pattern diffusion. ImageImageImageImage The impact is most noticeable on the door and the rear bumper. IMO the textures are too small anyway to take advantage of the effect.
Also tried enabling #BRender dynamic dithering on those material (while disabling map interpolation) but as expected it didn't work in Glide mode.

#Carmageddon 1 concept #gameart spam thread. Been meaning to post this for a while now. Art mainly by Terry "Tez" Lane and Neil @nobby_SG Barnden. #retrogaming #dosgaming #gamehistory

Starting with Industrial zone docks. ImageImage Ah yeah, it's sadly mostly all low quality 🤷‍♂️

Industrial zone: acid baths, crane, powerups. These are very close to what we got ingame. ImageImageImageImage

Couldn't find the specific theme I used for years on my old iBook within @kaleidoscopemac : it was MammaMia, by Albie Wong. It was perfect for a tangerine iBook clamshell! ImageImage Here's what my desktop looked like heh Image

Testing more #BRender stuff. VR Baseball sadly not a BRender title after all. Synthonics VRX Viewer is, though. ImageImageImage (too lazy to reinstall a win9x VM so used the one on my old iBook)
