yeh under adventure theres moving pirates, pirate ships etc.

P.S "mosherboyuk2005" are you a chav! j.k

[Monkey_Ace]

Yeah i know, but it aint the best scenery for POTC

[Snacko]

There is no 3rd party scenery for POTC. Just the in-game stuff.

im still trying to make some actually!!!!!

I just cant make a damn skeleton under a 1000 polygons!

I made the bed, the ghost ship scene so far... sans the skeleton. So once i can get the skeleton in ill post some pics. ALthough i havent tried to actualy use the skeleton i have now, maybe i will try that tonight and at least get some pics up!

I've thought about skeletons, and the only way I can think of to keep the polygon count low is to make them 2D accompanied by some sort of wall backdrop. Depending on how warped you make the 2D image, it might get down to about a dozen polygons, even with the backdrop.

Of course, I don't make custom scenery, so would that actually work?

[Eyeless]

for this it doesnt look right. Maybe i can find a low poly skeleton model someome made from another game and use that.... hmmmmm

[Snacko]

That's great! Are you planning on making any sunken shipwrecks? The only problem with the ships in the game is that they have sails, and that doesn't look right for a shipwreck.

Yes, that would work LightWarriorK, the only problem with this at the moment is getting the alpha textures figured out.

here is a link http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/PictFra...d/skelhelm.jpg

to a picture of the ghost ship scene i am trying to make.

I have been trying to build just one simple low poly skeleton that i can make into several positions and add the get up for all the skeletons on the ride... theres so many parts hahaha if anyone has any idea on the skeleton dilema im all ears. So far i have tried making it kinda a wall but that doesnt look right, and the model i have is still at like 3000 polygons.

[LightWarriorK]

Ahh, well, thanks.

I guess since the alpha-textures don't work, it's a good thing that they're not what Eyeless wants.

Little by little, I learn.

But that pic is really nice. I wish something that realistic were possible, but it's going to have to be changed a LOT. I'd say to make the skeleton VERY angular, like having each bone be a triangular solid.

(Can you tell I've thought about this? My Ghost Ride Thread prompted it)

[Eyeless]

right now im trying to make it out of all cylinders withthe lowest possible number of segments as possible. we will see. I'll work on it when I get home (still at work =( ) I need to learn to bring my laptop with me so i can work on it hahaha

[Monkey_Ace]

Thanks for replying, i thought this post would die soon,

PS:i would love to see some screens

[Monkey_Ace]

Hey Eyeless what program are you making your models with?

[Eyeless]

3ds max 6

[Monkey_Ace]

so anything new???

[Eyeless]

no not yet didnt have time to mess with it, stupid work, dumb special election our stupid arnold called, has had me busy. But i will try and work on it tonight =)

[Monkey_Ace]

Eyeless has decided to help you out on his own generosity, taking time out of his life to help you, then you reply with something that is plain rude. As if you are bored of waiting, if you want it now then make it yourself,

sorry i still havent gotten anything skeletons are freaking hard!!!!!

But i am working on it! Just bear with me, i work for the legislature... and we are in the middle of a special election so between phone banking, and doing other duties.. i try to squeeze in a few hours a day. I think i almost got it though the skeleton is down to 700 polygons but has big block hands and feet, is there a way to do alpha textures in RCT3? that would make it sooo much easier i could do just a shape for the whole rib cage and then have certain parts just transparent!

Okay

ooh and thanks martemar =) !!!!

and thank you live_the_thrill!!!

You could try having a look at the skeletons already in the game, in the spooky scenery (ie the one in the stocks and in the cage). They are just solid models that are textured to look like individual bones I think.
That way it would just be a main body, a head, arms and legs. You wouldn't need to worry about making separate ribs etc...

[Eyeless]

Okay so i have a skeleton 744 polygons! I think i can lower it a bit more. NOW texture time wish me luck!

[Monkey_Ace]

Sorry about before eyeless, im just really eager to see what you've done so far

[Eyeless]

so i kinda screwed up. I made the skeleton all one object....

How would be the best way to approach textures? uvw mapping? Im using 3ds max 6.

[Eyeless]

OKay now i need help. I have the model of the skeleton as good as im going to get it. I can't texture this thing to save my life!

the beds the walls are easy... whose a 3ds studio/ custom scenery guru, any help would be soooo appreciated!

[Monkey_Ace]

Hey did try asking in the help section???
you might get at least 1 person who know's.

[Saskro]

Cool, I`m really looking forward to this POTC stuff! Hope you get it figured out! Will you also be doing some of the women and other villagers? Or how about the sitting pirat with the bottle, so we can place him on top of a bridge. If you do other pirate models, you could try to just modify the ones from the game (if you know how to get them out) to make them fit to the scenery we already got...
good luck!

[Eyeless]

well im going to try the skeletons first... so far the freaking skeleton has been hard, just b/c of the polygon limits, but now that i can do alpha textures! wooooooohoooo just have to figure out how to do it in 3ds studio!.

The regular pirates once i figure out how to do this should be kinda easy! But we will see fingers crossed!
