Title: DFlythru - Let's fly-through in DF world!
Post by: zetathix on January 12, 2021, 01:58:26 pm
.NOT RELEASE YET.

Hello everyone, one time I made a small project which render 3d images from DF world and curious about looking into the world. So, this is it! Just another DF map viewer (I saw some posts before I create this post.), it's 3D and you can fly-through with reasonable framerate. Right now it just an early-alpha version, but I can't keep it to myself haha.

I need more times to make it understandable first before release it, so please be patient.

Plan to do
- Importing exported maps, I will try to use most of it for eyes-candy.
- Area-based subdivision, make it looks good while spent less.
- Play with camera, spend your times to find a good location for a snap.
- Able to add more props and lets it mix in. for now it only has dummie tree.
- More to come...

(Map resolution which raise up in video is done intentionally, not a bug, while tree depth render incorrectly is of course a bug.)

Test map spec: Large (257*257)

Old post blender render.

Looks pretty neat.

How are you getting the map information from DF? Are you querying it from DFHack Structures?

I use export maps from legends mode, hooking up to DF in realtime would be too difficult for me to do.

New capture images from current development, I think it's quite acceptable. Now we have map images loading screen too.

Morning in DF...
