I also need more variety in mud patches - a lot more variety. As it is just basically changing the texture of "mud mound" object and changing its size and shape - it should not be that much work to generate a few of patches. The ground with "mossy" grass looks very unreal. It needs more variation. "Mud mounds" can bring that. But they need more variation in soil tone, in a bit of hay and grass over it etc.

wininoid

Perhaps some long and curved dirt patches so we can build dirt paths through forests.

More Divine Props!

I love the coulple decals we have for Selune, Shar and Amaunator. Would love to see this expanded with a ton of things ranging from temple decor to statues of the gods themselves.

Divine Items/Decor is potentially an awesome enough aspect to encompass having its own kit and categories. Indeed!

There are so many things I could do with Mystra related props right now, it is rimagiculous! :P

celantra

I would like blood splats that are actually red and not blue or black. The projector splashes are red but all the ground bits are some off shade of black.

- gem/silver/gold veins in walls

Monsters
- oozes, gelatinous cube

Effects

I don't expect all or any of these to be made, but I hope the list may be helpful if the studio is looking for things to develop. I also left out references to any creature models that would require water combat/environments (like octopus), since I'm not sure if the dev team wants to approach swimming animations yet? (That would be a lot of work.)

Seconded.. along with other things. not just fire.. we need some killer slime, and plants that attack and shoot things at the players..assassin vines, shambling mounds, hangman trees, etc

gillrmn

I want some undead plant props. I am using present Thundertree area (nearby woods) as a setting so ir will be nice to have them! (And they are canon related to 4e Neverwinter too!)

More thoughts:

1) The City Wall & Gate you see prior to entering the Harbinger Bridge Intro Instance.
2) The Inner Protector's Enclave Wall and Gate that you see in the Harbinger Intro Instance.

The last time I created an outside city wall (The original High Road, Act II mission of mine), I couldn't get it to look like the outside wall actually looks using the given pieces.

apocrs1980

Would also love to have a 1000x2x1000 invisible wall for ceiling sealing

Chasm assets at half their original size.

wininoid

When building boss encounters and story encounters with dialog, I could use a lot more single mob encounters. Especially hard encounters with only 1 monster.

wininoid

More cold/ice based encounters. I want to build a frosty dungeon and especially need some hard hitting ice casters.

gillrmn

Want dancing animation for courtesans (the one they have by default). Was not able to find that particular one in the list.

celantra

I would love to have all the window options that are in use in Protectors Enclave. The big bay window. The Square windows with shutters. Would also be nice to have small light shafts that would fit windows and not just sewer grates. There is also a set of stairs that is used as a building block in Protectors Enclave that would be epic. I would like the sewer grate opening as a separate piece that could be placed on a ceiling.

thunderspanker

I would like a blood spatter that hits the screen, and then drips down, so you can really go wild. lol.. it probably isnt gonna happen, but thats a tool that would just be great for when the character dies, which also should be a trigger.. the adventurer dying could trigger any number of things. Also something I dont see happening. But the one thing i want the most, is triggering a dialog at a reach point, so you can be a dungeon master.

lol. chunks. gotta have chunks.

feuygar

I would like,

The area Trigger location shape, please give us square/rectangle rather than just circle, (enables much more creativity).
Allow a timer delay on a trigger, up to say 5 seconds. Tigger on dialogue is a case in point.

A portcullis (I've seen one built into the keep model, but would be good if you could separate it for outdoor maps),
Horizonal invisible walls, only have vertical atm
Curved vertical invisible walls, quarter circle on a 20' & 40' radius.
1' thick standard dungeon walls of 10' length (only had 20' and 40') to help avoid clipping.

When I copy a "lego" piece, why does it reset the Y coordinate back to zero every time (annoying)?

Thanks.

chthonicmythos

A map sized ceiling sealing ceiling for all the maps would be awesome.
Also more solo mobs for "boss" fights like have been said.
I would prefer to change NPC hair/skin color through a selector rather than having a dozen presets for every race/gender. Last I checked there still wasn't a black haired, pale halfling!
More built city/village building would be sweet too.
Large city road/street tiles would be nice!

You know you can rotate detail objects around any x/y/z axis, right?

zebular

Imported from old Beta Foundry Forums, please do continue to use this folks as it has been requested by the Devs!

drakedge2

NPC - I NEED WINGS! Angel wings specifically.
- ALL outfits in the game for NPCs. Why should i be so limited? Aren't you famous for customization? Why can't i use all the cool outfits I see through out the game? Even the zen store outfits for my NPCs, these should be available heck they might even help you sell more of them.

varna

My current number-one art asset request is not a particular model, but more ways to gracefully appear/disappear objects. Currently any detail object simply snaps in or out of existence, but having some simple effects to stipulate at the "appear/disappear when" option would make things look much better. This also applies to various FX objects that have no good way to gracefully "end", such as a flame that pops out of existence instantly when extinguished.

Even simply making the model opacity fade in or out, the way NPCs do when assigned to "disappear" would make a big difference

mattkire

Would love for a way to have a Following NPC Stop and then disappear on completion of quest. So far, the only options are disappear never and on this object completion. So essentially they either stop and stand there, or disappear after talking with them. Also an NPC that fights would be nice.

Multiple NPCs following?

Floors to build multi-levels.

shorlong

Most everything I am going to request is costume related.

The ability to change the color and appearance of facial hair. Currently, you want something with a beard? You have to take the rest of the model too. And whatever color it is, it's staying that color. Some more options would be nice. I want to put beards on some of my NPCs and mobs, but I can't due to the fact that I have to pick specific costumes and can only go so far with that.

All tattoo types available for all character models. Drow characters cannot have the cracks tattoo, which is a huge thing in my campaign.

A lot of female models (and the ogres) have this weird skirt thing that can only go away if you replace it with a bigger skirt thing. I would like to not have ANY skirt thing, or change just it's appearance.

A lot of this could be implemented if when we selected a model, we could take stuff off of them that is already there. For example, I select a character that has gloves because it has the look and facial hair that I want, but I don't want the gloves....too bad, stuck with them. Being able to subtract things from NPCs would be a blessing.

Now, some more nitty gritty....

Dragons. More than just the dragonling. Don't need dragon encounters, just the dragon skin would work for 99% of all applications. And having the ability to make it have animations (sleeping, roaring, etc) would be helpful. Also, the ability to alter, if nothing else, it's color and basic features would be fantastic.

Art wise, that's about all I can think of right now.

zovya

A pair of normal pants. And normal shoes please.

yospeck

Not checked through the entire thread, but a "cobbled street" texture would be nice for the base map, similarly to had the blank one is just all grass. I've been creating a town map and had to individually place the small cobbled detail item and it creates some clippy effects. Just a default custom map would be great.

darkenedeye1f

Wall of every tile type (small cave doesn't have one for example) to close off areas.
Doors with default open animation for more door types (portcullis, sewer grate door)
Bigger cages or dungeon metal cells or pens
Animated levers, chains and such that have a persistent state.
Alchemical laboratory equipment with animation
Arcane symbols, various circles of power, wards, etc.
Writing implements
More statue options
Traps: arcane (fireball, fire breath, electrical, stubs, roots, etc)
Capability of asset and mob.
Encounters: animal bosses, single bosses. Rats - giant and normal.
Encounter skins that work for animals... atm only other animal encounters work reskinned

Also make the achievement for kills based off the encounter skin, not the actual encounter type or disable for foundry.
