Here's the latest pics:

http://angelmapper.com/Thalassia2k3SideInnerWalls

The second pic shows the skybox, I'm trying to figure out a way to add beams of light fading in and out, but using emitters doesn't look right. I'm also going to add a huge shipwreck close to the temple, with fish swimming everywhere.

The last pic obviously needs torch holders, they aren't just going to be floating like that :p

Looking amazing angel mapper. Are those custom meshes? I really gotta learn to use Maya...prefabs are getting old already :P

Looking forward to this map as much as FallenMoon, Slag, and LionsGap final. Keep up the awesome work.

I use warp zones to do this, the only problems with them are you can't hear sound through them and only projectile weapons will go through. That means you can't use the Assault Rifle, Link Gun Secondary, Shock Rifle Secondary, Minigun or Lightning Gun to shoot people on the other side, and I have it set up to where translocators can't go through and it blocks players from doing impact jumps etc to get up there. The only way to get to the opposite side is by using the teleporters.

Might have to wait awhile guys, real life intrudes. I might not be able to get back to work on Thalassia for another month. I WILL work on it every chance I get, I feel real bad for hyping it up like this and having something happen to keep me from finishing it on time. "When it's done" I guess.

The only reason I'm not working for a game company right now is I'm still stuck in the Navy for another 7 months. But I HAVE had a few offers. Stupid Navy, my name would be on America's Army right now.. :cry:

legacy-Lemon

11-18-2002, 01:58 AM

You cannot run Maya on a win 98 machine, and dont try. And if your pc is not top notch, and with a damn good graphics card, and no i dont mean a GeForce 4 because they are not animation cards i would stay away from Maya. I work with Maya and no the program inside and out, and my advice is dont run it unless you got the power to use it and the time to learn it, its no UED its gonna take a while to learn.

InfiniteWeird

11-18-2002, 02:14 AM

If you run 98 you can download a free program from Discreet (The company that makes 3D Studio Max) called gMax. It is basically a striped down version of 3DS max for use with the video game market. I've seen what it can do and it seems pretty useful for making game content for UT2003. :)

I don't mean to take away from this excellent thread, but Maya works fine even with a TNT2 64mb on a 500mHz machine. Maybe not fine for high-res complex animation, but suitable for gaming.

But mainly I just don't want this thread to be forgotten...this is looking to be the best damn map ever.

legacy-FBMachine

11-18-2002, 08:50 AM

Yeah that's kinda silly to say you need a top notch pc and a high-end gfx card for making static meshes in Maya. And if you've noticed, the high-end pro gfx cards like wildcats and quadros are not much better then the consumer stuff lately anyway. Even my GeForce2 GTS keeps it interactive up into the couple hundred thousand polys range ( textured full perspective view even ), and when it starts getting too slow you can just turn off the visibility of the layers you're not using. Sure I wouldn't try to model a virtual stunt double for a film on this system or something like that, but it can handle anything meant for the Unreal engine without blinking an eye.

Rachel knows thalassia is lookin great already, so I don't think she'll mind this minor thread derailment, right Rachel? ;)

I'm going to be releasing a few shots from my TC Sunday night. As for Thalassia, I'm not sure the engine is ready for it. There's still a lot of problems with it. Even if it does get released I'm definitely not going to get it reviewed. I've done some looking around and the main problem I need to take care of is the skybox showing through warpzones. You have to change a setting in your ini to get it to work right, and it causes a big performance hit on an already slow level (because of the warp zones). I might have to wait for faster computers and better video cards to release this.

I'm going to be releasing a few shots from my TC Sunday night. As for Thalassia, I'm not sure the engine is ready for it. There's still a lot of problems with it. Even if it does get released I'm definitely not going to get it reviewed. I've done some looking around and the main problem I need to take care of is the skybox showing through warpzones. You have to change a setting in your ini to get it to work right, and it causes a big performance hit on an already slow level (because of the warp zones). I might have to wait for faster computers and better video cards to release this.

As long as it doesn't make any other graphic glitches in other levels I don't care.

I'll give it a shot, but this is definitely going to be a labor of love, I don't see anyone playing this one more than once or on servers at all.
