Pille Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Modern Art Gallery We present 'The Modern Art Gallery'. Top Minder and I have been working on this project for about 12 weeks. Now is time to release a first version. This prefab is embedded in a modlet that should make it compatible with most other modlets and overhauls. The first gallery can be found at the end of this post. Download Modlet: DOWNLOAD LINK Installation (Deprecated - Modern Art Gallery is not available in modlet format in A18): Note: See Readme.txt in modlet folder for more details. 1. Download and extract the modlet. 2. Copy the folder 'Mods' into the 7 Days to Die main directory*. 3. Replace the files at the destination if Windows prompts you to do so. 4. Re(start) the game. 5. In order to spawn the prefab on a random gen map, you have to generate a new world. *The default location of the main directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die Top Minder's Preview Videos: Hints: * The gallery requires significantly above-average hardware to show everything as intended. In particular, having shadows activated affects the performance negatively, but is recommended for certain artworks. Features: * Three floors + roof full of surprises. * ~80 handmade artworks * Manually placed sleepers and volumes * Unique traps and building techniques * Large garden on the roof * Compatible with most overhauls and other modlets Credits: We used and modified Horst's awesome tank: https://7daystodie.com/forums/showth...03-Tank-prefab Art Gallery We proudly present our first collaborative project - The Art Gallery. Top Minder and I have been working on the prefab over the last few weeks trying to create a building that is stylistically indistinguishable from those of the vanilla game! ;-) Download (A16 + A17 + A18): DOWNLOAD LINK Top Minder's Preview Videos (A17): Part 1 - Prefab Walkaround Hints: * The outside of the prefab looks much better if the 'Reflection Quality' in the video settings is set to 'Low' or 'High' * Medium difficulty level / sleeper volumes Features: * Two floors + roof full of angry men and women * ~50 handmade artworks * Manually placed sleepers and volumes * Unique traps and building techniques * Large garden in the backyard * Low system requirements Credits: We used and modified Horst's awesome tank: https://7daystodie.com/forums/showth...03-Tank-prefab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pille Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 I've added a new screenshot to the original post. We will release the Gallery very soon. But first, we have to write an appropriate description of it for the op. That shouldn't take longer than a few hours, days or weeks. something very unique, I like it Yeah, I guess 'unique' is the right word.^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExeBT Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Nice job guys, i really like the level design and the attention on details, i get inspired just by exploring this awesome prefab!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cure Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Very entertaining. It's a bloody shame the voxels and textures limit us to post-modernism, basic landscaping and predefined "paintings." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pille Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 Okay guys, in order to shorten the waiting time for A17, Top Minder has made a nice preview video showing some highlights of the Art Gallery: [video=youtube_share;bxiB-FxFVFo] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kam R. Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Finally got to check it out in-game. Enjoyed it a lot. Inspired and demotivated at the same time now, as always when getting humbled by superior artistic skill. Then spent 20 minutes trying to figure out what block you used for the desk frame in the gallery boss' office. Then remembered debug mode and f3 I thought I knew all the blocks in this game and stand corrected in that regard. I love all the art, my fav is the hippie room with the pink tank chassis as flower box. I like how there's often more to be discovered than meets the eye. Loot and Z-presence seems adequate for a build this size (in vanilla). Just incredible. I stick by my previous assessment that this rocks. :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pille Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Lol, I think that was the very last block that was unknown to me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyBeaches Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 No kidding. *Pille casts resurrection spell on the prefab forum* I had to log in for the first time in years just to comment on how awesome this build was, and how much I enjoyed the experience of going through it. My father is an artist, so I spent much of my childhood going around notable art galleries and museums. Thanks to this I can say with authority that you have the 'mood' of the prefab down perfectly. The height and uncluttered spacing perfectly brought forth the profound solemness necessary to highlight and give serene prominence to each piece. I was awed and inspired by the works of art, REAL art, that you two have graced upon the walls of that noble institution. Wether it was the ingenious usage of the inner triangular walkway pieces to depict stunning geometric shapes, or the inspired selection of the 'target' texture to accentuate a metal_sign_c, the military tank converted into a flower bed, the bold decision to display toilets with REAL poop, or, and most thought provoking, the usage of various loot containers (suitcases, safes..) in the pieces of art, often covered in a layer of glass. This last category deserves special mention as it makes the observer part of the exhibit as they must balance their admiration for beauty against their primitive, lustful, desire for loot. In my case, lust won. But! Once I had completed my inventory, and looked upon the ravaged and broken works, I was swept with a discordant sense of loss. Much like this broken world has experienced every day since the fall, another fragment of civilisation was forever lost in the pursuit of short term survival. Finally, the usage of the crate texture to simulate larger crates filled with precious cargo was an inspired touch. I was particularly overjoyed in one instance, and instantly dismayed in another, when cracking open these creations on the roof. Yours sincerely, a former art critic. A+ Would jump off the roof screaming again. p.s. the hidden crate in the garden was a nice touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pille Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Wow, that's certainly one of the most well-written prefab reviews we've ever read (I assume Top Minder shares my perspective). And I am not just saying that because your words are eminently positive. So thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pille Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 The Gallery has been updated. We've fixed some texture and water block issues and added a quest rally marker (the POI is supposed to hold a tier 5 fetch quest). Moreover, TopMinder has finished a second tour video. Tour through the overhauled gallery (part 2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrook Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Just wanted to say , I was playing this last night with a friend on a compomap game, and we were blown over by the work you've put into it. The stuff inside is very imaginative but the outside walls are a real quality work of art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pille Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thank you for the kind words Blackrook. We appreciate your appreciation. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown user Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 This is Amazing! Really great work! If you dont mind me asking, how did you guys create everything in the "Blue" room. It looks like its made from snow, but I have no clue how you did it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
