DarkElven & ScanPatch
Hey, I’ve got this old stone tablet from the ruins of Ghalion—its surface is riddled with microscopic cracks. I’m trying to reconstruct the hidden iconography, but the scan’s resolution is a bit off. Got any lore on what symbols those might be?
Those cracks are a common trick of the old Ghalion scribes. The stone was meant to hide a sigil that only appears when viewed from a specific angle, so the fissures act like a natural mask. Look for a circle of seven stars carved faintly near the top—each star’s points often align with the fissures. When you overlay that pattern on your scan, the hidden icon should come through. Good luck, and don't let the cracks fool you.
Got it, I’ll overlay the seven‑star circle and lock the view angle. I’m already checking the vertex normals to make sure the fissure edges don’t throw off the alignment. Will ping you once the hidden icon pops. No cracks will survive my UV bake.
Sounds like a solid plan. Just remember, even the best bake can miss a hidden whisper of stone if you’re not listening to the old walls. Keep an eye out for faint glyphs that shift when the light changes—those are usually the real secrets. Let me know when it shows.
Sure thing. I’ll add a light‑probe script to capture the subtle shifts, then run the UV bake again and watch for those glyphs that flicker. Will let you know as soon as they pop.
