It just happened when I watched Discovery Channel. Suddenly there was this dot of paper with a hand. Then the hand drew back and left an origami elephant of the paper.
It was just a second or two, but I couldn't get it out of my head. Then I found Pepakura, a chinese site to turn dxf models into a flat paper match. So I decided to make one of my models, and of course it went wrong. Untill my next attempts. The Java applet comes with PhotoVista, a program to make 3D scenes of your house and show objects. I already tried some Quake maps which gives a Atlantis-like feeling. Pity the java plugin needs credit. Here's an example of the monster: http://members.home.nl/gimli/gimli08.htm and here's a gif of the file: http://members.home.nl/gimli/steg.gif Still quite a lot to do but the end is in sight. This got a bit out of hand and has turned out a much bigger map than I wanted to make initially. It's about 8200 brushes at the moment. All the major areas are now in but there is still a bit more detail and tweaking that needs doing before I sort out all the gameplay, which is currently in a really early state.
http://than.quaddicted.com/files/thanbase_prebeta.jpg Note there are a lot of funcs that are added for detail that are not visible in the shot, so some areas look rather empty. They are not, I assure you. No proper shots for now, but here is an overview of the level. There are a couple of old shots on my temporary site here: http://than.quaddicted.com/ ASP3 looks great too :)
Halt your life please and finish it for us, you owe it!! :) Rad shot dude. Can't exactly get the full flavour but it's a cool way to present it. And of course we trust your mad skillz :)

would make a nice new shub model :) http://www.speeds.quaddicted.com/dp000011.jpg
exported meshes from MAX, blended terrain, foghull culling. ~30k tris onscreen So I think I've finally found a method of mesh deconstruction that looks like it might work in the end. It's almost there. I've tried a lot of different things and finally have this much working at least:
http://wantonhubris.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/deconstructionexample.png It's getting there. It messes up on complicated meshes still but I'm working on it! http://wantonhubris.com/blog/2008/05/26/oh-so-close/ Speeds
I tried that. It's harder that it appears to get QBSP to accept meshes. For me, anyway. It really, really, really wants convex shapes. inertia http://wantonhubris.com/ToolSrc/ It doesn't have my latest QBSP, however. Once I figure out what I'm going to do there I'll upload it as well. How long until I'll be able to use UE3, export my level as OBJ, import into ToeTag, compile and play it in Q1?
:) inertia
Ahh, no, not yet. I'm not sure when would be the best time to do that. I might set it up as a download once the 2.0 release is done (which is the one I'm working on now). Maybe in a few months. Scampie I hate you. :) Firefox rejects it.
It's just a load of jibberish weird characters?!?! the url containing "session=" and nothing else, methinks speedy copy-pasted the wrong link
