Reference pictures for modelling

We`ll need more space to have tractors :P.

[Jasiek]

Well the seat and that metal casing behind it, with the vents looks like something that would work quite well on the go-kart/car.

[Horadrim]

I see now :P. What about the caterpillar-chain? Looks usable to me. May be for the patrolling robots?

[Jasiek]

Yeah, the tracks could be useful too.

like here:


Anyways, moar stuff!

A 3D recreation of that image should be amazing.

[Horadrim]

Art nouveau style house. The elements I find particularly suitable, are the big arc shaped windows.

[Horadrim]

What about similar configuration of rocks (the big ones), in front of the cave, under Twinsen`s house? It looks secret enough and hardly accessible, perfect for small vessels, like the catamaran.

[Jasiek]

Yeah, that looks good.


Should have some time for that in a week or so...
I'll try and fiddle with making some sort of an animated foam apng like that too with and placing the faces of them in smart ways around the rocks, so the foam moves around them instead of going through them..

[Darkflame]

Really nice photos, its a challenge, but if you can make a apng like that it would look great!

[Horadrim]

I still think that using apngs will be much more FPS consuming, than using some sort of shader (of course, David could confirm or deny this).

[Jasiek]

Yeah, I'd rather have a way of making something like a layered texture:

there would be a scrolling texture with the foam that would also be fading in and out, but it would have an additional blurry mask on top of it, to make the edges smooth and so the slight texture scrolling isn't obvious and "coming out of nowhere" with features cut out in mid-air.

Collecting art for inspiration for the citadel:

[Horadrim]

Would you believe me if I say that some of the pictures you`ve posted, I`ve collected before, just for the same reason?

[Jasiek]

Haha, yeah I would

Where is the flying pig ?

[Horadrim]

Both picks are from the same place, called Buttes Chaumont. It seems to be a park in Paris.

[Horadrim]

I even used the pig from LBA2 for the case.

Ancient Egyptian house models.^

[Horadrim]

I think I have few more picks with such clay models. :P
