[REL] Haunted Mansion Changing Portraits

[Jonte_The_Playe]

I decided to give it a try and try to make Phantom Manor now that its almost time for Halloween and all. I started making the facade and I got to the Changing Portrait gallery and I thought to myself that there weren't really a set with the Changing Portraits in them (Disfan's Haunted Mansion sets own though!) so I thought I would try and make them. I made The Medusa one but I don't understand how to use Animated Textures so ive left it like that for now. Im gonna try and make them Animated as soon as I learn how to do it (would love if someone could direct me to some cool tutorials).
Anyway here's a pic of how it looks in SketchUp at the moment.

Ill add an in-game picture in a little while as my computer is running a bit slow at the moment.

*amazing job!! i cant wait to see the finished product

[abercrombiehart]

i dont really know how to make animated textures..but what i do know is that you need like all of the frames that you want animated not only for grecian woman to medusa..but also back to medusa to grecian woman..it sounds kinda weird i know but those who have made animated textures know what im talkin about....

Ive got all stages of all the paintings so there's no worry about that.
Ive found some tutorials but they're only for Milkshape and Blender.
Should I just put the stages together as an animation and then just add it as a texture in SketchUp?

Thanks! :)

Thanks. Most of the users on here uses Milkshape so there's almost only Milkshape tutorials out there. Ill search more as soon as I get home again. ;)

Ive finished the Catwoman painting so here's another pic of how it looks like in-game but still no animated textures. ;l Ill continue tomorrow since ive got some homework to do.
Enjoy.

I have made a changing portraits in my set of a funeral parlor so i will explain you how i make it:

first i have made the changing states of the painting and put the first in the model
then with the importer i have made the animation with the advanced textures chosing menu
I have make six changing states and put the first,second..... till the sixth repeat the sixth and going backwards to the first one
and put an animation framerate of 4

you can see my thread to see the pics
i hope you will find this information utile because i am a great lover of phantom manor.

Wow! Thanks! I will try that out now that i know how to do it.
Im actually using some of your Funeral walls in my Phantom Manor and ive gotta say that those are some cool walls! Ill try and make the Catwoman and Medusa right away! Thanks again for the help :)

[Jonte_The_Playe]

I got the animated texture to work perfectly on my first try so I might be finished with the paintings tomorrow. However, ive got another idea that I might wan't try out. I might try making the Stretching room paintings so they actually stretch. Meaning the first frame will have the first picture you see when you enter the stretching rooms and then expands to its full height where you see the whole picture. It might take a while but I think it would look awesome if I got it to work properly.

Anyway, here's a clip of the Catwoman Changing portrait.

All of the paintings are done. There's just one problem.
All of the frames of the paintings are working correctly except for the Decaying Ship painting. I have a picture of it here.

Picture 1.

All of the paintings animations are working good. It looks extremely cool :D

Picture 2.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/C00ling3n/Shot0006-1.jpg
This is the part that I can't understand (The sides of the Ship painting making it become flat). I have grouped the sides of the painting and the painting itself in SketchUp like all the others paintings. But when i open the SketchUp model up in the importer there's only one group showing (Either the "painting group" or the "sides group"). Ive tried exploding the groups and then re-grouped them like before but it still wont work. There's always only one group showing up in the Modelling window in the Importer..

If I just can fix this then ill be able to release the set. Thanks for reading:rolleyes:

[adamb241]

Sweet idea, the look really good.

[Fisherman]

hmmmm...maybe that ship painting is really haunted...

Looks GREAT so far, JTP!

Thanks! Lol, Maybe ill have to get an exorcist? ;D

As soon as I come home ill try and re-model the ship painting and see if it works.. :P

[guitarist4life]

very nice!!! the animations do go a bit fast though :up: but keep it up!

[coasterman20076]

what got your animation speed at for your paintings if got them 60 of second try 100 of second just try slow it down A little awsome work can't wait one.

[Jonte_The_Playe]

I wanted them to be as the ones in the Disneyland Haunted Mansion where they morph to the thunder outside the windows. I might do one set with slow morphs though if people want them.
Anyone know anything about transparent textures in SketchUp?
I was wondering because I might do the strecthing paintings too..
Thanks for all kind comments!

EDIT: The set is finished! All of the paintings works as they should but I need help hosting it.
Im still a bit new to this so im wondering if anybody knows how to convert the folder into a .zip file. I tried with WinZip but I cant find the correct way to do it. :(

I dunno if I'm the first to download or what - but first response after the d/l was put up. YAY

[abercrombiehart]

Ok I could be going crazy but I saw the video and it looks like the actual changing is going too quick I dont know if maybe the portraits actually do that or whether they're slower (i for some reason remember it going slower) so yea jus a lil crtique....but other than that it's still amazing!

They are actually supposed to be quicker since they change to the lightning outside the windows opposite them. But if I did it that way the paintings wouldn't look that good. But I still think that the Catwoman painting is a bit faster in the morphing then the others.

Im terribly sorry. Its just that ive been on alot of forums where you're allowed to double post if you've got any updates and I guess I assumed that it was the same with this forum. I apologize and it won't happen again.

Now eye heart voldy, that wasn't very nice. The administrator might say do not spam but he also doesn't want mean people in the forums. Rideslover can say what he likes about coasters, cause this is the Rct3 section of the forums. Get it? Rollercoaster tycoon 3.
