make the blocks look nicer

Postby Astroflux » Sat Feb 25, 2012 1:18 am

Just wondering if there is a way to make the blocks not so flat... It is really annoying having flat colors everywhere and honestly just having a minecrafty look would make this a better looking game. Im enjoying this so much and it would be nice to having nicer looking blocks and possibly no fog?

The blocks are Voxels from the Voxed engine.

From what I've read about Voxels and the Voxed engine, modifying the texture of the block is impossible.
To a Physicist, white and black is the presence and absence of color.
To a Fine Artist, white and black are just shades and tints of color.
To a Painter, any paint that you could get into a can is a color.
THIS color, on the other hand, is #b4d455.

Are you asking for the cubes to not be cubes?....

This is possibly in the wrong section. Moving to "Ace of Spades ‹ Suggestions"

Also,the fog is there to balance things,to prevent a skilled sniper to kill people across the map.And it lets stealthl tactics like flanking.

I approve,I don't see any good reason in not having fog.
This idea is not good at all to me,the blocks are supposed to look like that.

I think the blocks are fine as they are, they will usually get broken anyway by gun fire or people digging, they're not there to be seen as a work of art. If not, just find a decent modification, and replace your current block, or repaint it yourself, using slab6.

I think, making colors more bright and/or adding thin border will improve the situation.

I like the colors the way they are. I always preferred the dull-ish look to the game over minecraft vibrant colors, it's one of the things that brought me. This is a war game after all. At the moment blocks blend very well at a distance to the point where it is hard to tell they are blocks at times.

Also, it would probably make the game more difficult to render, and lead to far off blocks looking all pixelly like they do in Minecraft.

A voxel, by nature, cant have 2 sides containing different colors, or have more than one color on each side.
