"DP New-Lava" Thread

[Seven]

Hello webangel,

Thank you for your release.
I compared the texture resolution with other lava packs and saw that you went from 512x512 to 1024x1024 for the same texture.
That is the main reason why the lava is still quite unsharp. The upscaling process of textures ends always in "unsharpness" somehow.

I quickly exchanged the diffuse texture to original 512x512 texture version and also raised the "tcMod scale" shader keyword around 50% and the result was sharper, but kept the same look.

Anyhow, thank you for your tireless dedication in creating new variations.
That is great.

Best wishes,
Seven

Great work!!

[webangel]

Here is a new link for my modification from Sevens "Pretty Lava".
I tried to make the textures that I use a little bit sharper this time.

Hello. After some experiments I found that

---deformVertexes wave 1500 sin 2 1 0 0.3

in shader gives a good result almost without texture breaking.
This looks like a real lava movement.
You could try
WBR

Can anyone be so kind to reupload the "Webangel lava"? I would like to check it out, too... Have been taking a break for a while and try now to update my Quake files.

[gdiddy62]

Great!!

[talisa]

just tried it and i can only say one thing... WOW!

this looks super web@ngel, truely amazing work, i totally love it
really great work, looks amazing


now if you dont mind, ill go play quake and travel to E1M7 and stare some more at it

[talisa]

thanx web@ngel, excited to try it out
downloading it right away

and i dont mind at all about the size. bigger size translates to better quality and higher resolution textures, and more frames
so i dont mind in the slightest, quite the opposite

i personally dont care about file size. cuz small files mean less high resolution and such, less frames and more compressed files, which translates to less quality

so i rather have big files

[webangel]

OK...
The textures should be clean now, the tcmod turb has the same value as Sevens and I tried to keep this as small as possible but it is still about 70MB. Sorry.

Download Lava.7z from Sendspace.com - send big files the easy way

Please try it and I hope someone have fun with it.

Too many nice things coming out and I have so little time to enjoy

Keep up the great work guys!

[talisa]

ah yeah, lot better visible in the clip without haze

looks good

and yeah i agree with seven about the stretching movement, it should be slower. lava is really thick and wont move so fast.

but the shader looks great

Hello webangel,

been 2 days offline and you suprise us with a new aniMap shader

Looks really good !
The colors of your textures are a good compromise between red and orange.

The only thing you could think about is the speed of your tcMod modifications. Lava should be less fluent than water. The mass and included rocks and so could move a little bit slower like shown in your clip.
But that is of course just personal taste...

Other than that, a clear thumbs up from me

Viele Gruesse,
Seven
