I don't get it... what does D: mean? Kantham? Hal, Angel? I don't get what he's trying to say. Anyways back to topic, I can't wait for Nato to come bck and show us what he's been studying and doing and such over his summer holiday. feels like it will be something cool.

Just to update:

I have to resit some modules so I don't have time to do any mapping; also my "brake" was entering the 3dbuzz old school contest so I’m not realty up for much mapping ATM

Also I want to try and keep this on a back burner for my 3rd year 2nd semester CAAD project. If I were to finish it now I wouldn’t have anything to do for it

So yeah, updates will come in dribs and drabs every now and again.

I have decided to try and do the entire building however including some of the exterior campus in order to make it seem more real

Current issue: set up some proper light mapping so I don’t end up with a frame rate mess like my 3dbuzz entery XD

Looks neat...I like the little hologram blueprints. Those light cones in the first screenshot look a bit awkward though, like they have no real focused source.

 

[NATO_chrisjm]

it's smoke from vents, not light cones ^^;;

This map looks great, you going to release it?

 

[Leonardo]

He said he was attempting to create some of the surrounding outdoor enviroment around the building so it wasn't just an indoor based map.

Cool

I do yes, however not till after its marked by tutors, so it will be about erm ... 8 months? It depends on what my tutor says in referance to release.

He said he was attempting to create some of the surrounding outdoor enviroment arounf the building so it wasn't just an indoor based map.

not exactly what I ment ... Now I have decided to make the entire building I will have to include the exterior enviroment so it makes sence visualy when you reach a window ... if I allow players outside the building I would have serious containment issues.

Updated the post process

 

[NATO_chrisjm]

Just to update. My aplication has been half aproved. I need to decide on some things to do to make it more architectual but hohum.

 

[Leonardo]

I allow players outside the building I would have serious containment issues.

Like what type of containment issues?
Can you elaborate on that?

 

[Lungri]

contain them within the play area...letting them outside a building means you have to reasonably map an area around the building, instead of mapping whatever scenery they can see from the windows

 

[Leonardo]

Like say a gaint cube with a 360 type of panoramic view of the grounds ? With a fair amount of nice foliage and benchs and such then eh?

 

[Lungri]

It's a big step to go from a good looking backdrop to an integrated playfield, and if the focus is on the architecture and layout of the building itself, probably better to centralize the battle I'd think.

 

[NATO_chrisjm]

What DistantLand said ... If I allow access to the outside I will have to fully map it, aposed to just making a nice backdrop.

Was there any update on this project N/C? Or has it been officially scrubbed?
