windows on the stations

You know what I've noticed? The windows with lights in them on the station. They look exactly like if the devs just took a picture of an office building at night and slapped it on there. Good job though, much easier than having to make the texture yourself :p

In fact, it's the offices of the medical facility down the road from our own office.

But I wouldn't say Waylon didn't "make the texture himself"... all his textures use source photographs he takes himself, and then edits, merges, paints over, etc in photoshop. There are some interesting additions to the office windows, too, if you look close enough.

That's one of the source photos I used, I think. :) (If not, I used one very similar to that, taken on the same night.)

And the guy in the window is named Roy. Though Ray is in one of the windows too.

Lemming, I thought we had something deeper than these petty insults. I guess I was wrong...*sniff*

I don't get this Roy thing. I can only make out a few furniture and office equipment pieces showing through, but nobody leaning against any of the windows. A high resolution of that image would probably help.

/me slaps Vlad.

It's a torso and head. He looks to be wearing a hat, like a sombrero or something.

Arolte, it would also help if you looked at a screenshot of him ingame.

Forgive me, but exactly what is with the obsession of finding "roy".

And pretty neat technique Waylon, although since I can't use photoshop for a (insert colorful 4-letter adjative here)I'm still partial to taking the image and editing it in Paint. :P

And I can't find him either in the .jpg image. I'll loook next time I have some time to kill from my SDF duties and happen to be in s12. (In other words, the next time I'm in s12, I'll check it out.)
