We’re going to be working on a video highlighting what we’ve been working on for the last three months, full of wonderful things. If you know of something you’d like linked, shown, or highlighted in this video, please post it here! Such as: cool art, screenshots, assets, updates etc.

I can provide some “flyby” footage if you want, and screenshots.  Just let me know areas of the world you want me to record in.

Templar Tribe: That footage would probably be good for use in this video, yes. (Thanks for the reminder!)

Mordigant: areas to record that would be nice include the Thirr River Valley, Old Ebonheart, and if your computer can handle it, also some to the west. Screenshots of anything in TR-Preview would be nice, especially as HD as you can get. We could use shots mainly during clear weather conditions, but also some during the night might be nice. Rain and snow tend to look bad in screenshots. Some specific areas that would be good include any cities with finished exteriors, wilderness areas (bitter coast mainland, redoran pine trees areas, armun ashlands, indoril areas). Just be careful to check your screenshots for visible graphics bugs (like floating trees) and be sure to use “tm” to toggle the menus off. We seem to be missing a lot of old screenshots (they must be somewhere, but who knows) so if you have extra time go adventure around TR_Mainland as well.

If your computer is up to the task, see if you can do a few really really long view distance shots, like 25 or more cells. A few of those would be fabulous, especially a few with Vvardenfell in the frame.

I broke some stuff so I will be doing a clean reinstall tomorrow limiting my mod installs to ones I actually need. I'll have some time Saturday to run my virtual camera. Not sure if I can get up to 25 cells without adding too much lag, though I'll see what I can do. I had it up to about 18 the other day before I broke stuff.

One really nice distance shot, though I'm probably way late here, is Red Mountain from Firewatch lighthouse at sunset. I also know the console commands for changing weather and time of day, so lighting shouldn't be an issue particularly with stills.

Nice. Yeah, pump up the settings for stills, for video just use the settings that make it so your video footage runs fairly smoothly. I can smooth out some jitter by making the frames run faster in the editing program but that makes actors/creatures look weird.

Is it too early for flyovers of Baan Malur and Narsis in the preview areas? Those cities look amazing!

Narsis is half-sunken, even in TR1603, nevermind TR_InDev.
I really wouldn’t fly over that one any time soon, the heightmap changes weren’t kind to it.

Alright, still got hours of potential flyby footage even without it!

Reminder! If anyone has anything like art, screenshots, footage, or general ideas for things they want included in the June video please send them to me, Kaziem, ASAP. I’ll be putting the video together this week, probably on Tuesday.

If you saw something cool on the forums you want included tell me about that too (like someone’s art or whatever)

Maybe some of my artsy things, as well as concept art from revenant, rats and also mattthebagel?

Some things I would suggest (aside from using the nearly-forgotten TR theme):

If you're going to consider CoT stuff I'll put up an updated pre-alpha tonight when I finish the town I am currently working on. Teenagers no longer say baby stuff but I haven't yet started writing the new dialogue content.

I will probably not be including it, simply because it’s still early and the bulk of the video will be on the Deshaan. It could be included in our next update video though.
