Virion · Post by **Virion** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 1:24 pm

I just finished this level today.

Actually I'm just doing this for fun lol. Maybe I can make it into a game perhaps? What type of game do you think is suitable and match this level?

maybe i will add some more stuffs on it. i'm trying to keep it more or less similar to ff7's style. perhaps i can make a small rpg demo? hehe.

Do you know 'Final Fight'?
It's an old snes Beat'em up

You can play with a friend against street gangs and so.

Your screenshot make me think of the underground/canalisation areas of that game ^^

Those were the days XD

It looks very nice did you make those textures? How did you make the dirty looking part at the edges where the pathway meets the walls? What program is that?

Good work

I used the burn tool in photoshop to make the edge of the texture looks slightly darker and dirty. I try use a 1024x1024 sized texture for the whole level to keep the level looks detailed. But there's much spaces left on the texture map. I will try to add some more stuffs onto the level. However, the size of the level will remain like this to keep the framerate...

My idea is like... walk from the end of the pathway to another end and switch map. Old RPG style lol.

Yeah I figured when you said Final Fantasy 7. I suppose you can have the camera from just that angle and have a FF or MGS style game, that would be very cool. Next you just need some spiky haired characters to fill in your map

PS: What modelling program did you use?

Looks pretty good, the geometry of it looks real simple too (means good framerate). It looks like the sort of level you'd see in a side-scrolling shooter or platformer, probably more a shooter though because of it's darker, dirty look. Actually, now that I think of it, it looks like a 3D version of the levels from a game called Abuse, it had the same dark underground kinda look. It would be awesome to see some more levels like this, keep up the nice work

I am making one. Human modeling is hard... Used 3 hours but only finished the head(with spiky hair on it) + torso:

I don't know how I gonna texture it later. >_<"

Wowow thats very good! I am jealous of your modelling skills...

Maybe you can give us some tips on how to produce this kind of hair?

select one of the faces of the head-->extrude-->weld the vertices together to form a spike.

My own way lol.

by the way... i think there are too many spikes on the head... maybe i will remove some of them.

IMO that is the best way to model anything and keep the poly count under control. Start with a box with a few subdivisions and extrude and weld the hell out of it.

Done modeling... its time to make the texture. No more spiky spiky hair! lol
Do you think its better to have spiky hair?

Looks nice, but I definately preferred the spiky hair
