New dwarven door

Post by **pekka** » December 9th, 2006, 1:47 pm

Hi,

I wasn't satisfied with the dwarven-door.png. Here's a proposal for a substitute. There might be a minor problem that the new door is attached to mountain - I hope it doesn't confuse the terraintype that is underneath the door.

Judge yourself.

Looks great! I just get this weird sci-fi feeling about it...

And perhaps it's too humble? Those item-graphics can be pretty large which IMO dwarven doors should be too.

I like it, but might it not look better on the actual mountain terrain, instead of the hill?

I think it looks better on hills : it makes it look bigger, more monumental. Maybe dwarves made the hill artificially bigger.

Now that you say so, I think there really is quite a sci-fi feeling..

Although this item isn't in very central role in the game, so I think it isn't urgent matter to deal with.

I'm surprised this hadn't been done earlier. Good job

Nice door, a much needed update imo.

At second look, there is something that looks a little strange, but it might be done on purpose, which is that the two stones on the sides of the door aren't the same dimensions.

Here's a natural follow-up for the new dwarven door.

These both look great and much better than the old ones. But the both kinda look like they are pasted on the side of a mountain, not like they are actually built into the mountain.

I think that's largely a problem of scale, e.g. something rather unavoidable.

Hehe.. I was about to write just the same.

This particular image belongs somewhere between the terrain- and building scale. The line between those scales is very blur.

Nice, they look much better.
