Nice! I hope this all doesn't fail horribly! 'Cause that would suck! Damn, I jinksed it

Yeah, his face actually kinda reminds me of Crash Bandicoot. I don't know why, but I think the body is excellent. The face, however; I think you should make him not so happy. He's smiling and I know you can't animate the face for in-game reasons, but I think you should make him not smiling if possible. Other than that, you have some an excellent job and your wife has done an excellent job wit the texturing! I hope you go through with his whole game and don't lose interest. I hope this turns out great! :)

i put his mouth in as neutral possition as i could. but im not allowed to animate his head at allcuz were implementing interest points into the game. i think hes less smiley now than the previous model though.

thanks for the comments, the support is much appreciated :-)

and she's still working on the texture, getting it as close to the texture in the book as possible, but its hard as lightwave doesnt seem to fully support UV unwrapping unless its done externaly then re-inported back into lightwave.... which is a bitch to do.

dot worry, i wont lose interest in this project, ive been working on it for about 4 years total now, lerning lightwave as i went. i made about 5 different paramonias and 3 rupturefarms, i scrapped each one of them... the new rupture farms is still undergoing constant changes as i work on it (updating or tweakin the layout more than anything)

im using farcry 2 as inspiration for the new paramonia

I am loving this so far. I can't wait to try this out. I hope this isn't another project that will die. Also what happened to Joshkrz project?...his 2D one.

This is a very good project. We're all expecting great things of you, Nowtun!

Mudokon_Master 09-07-2010 02:32 AM

Holy crap, 4 years? You are very determined to do this :)
Patience is the key. Good luck. Hope this Rupture Farms will be THE ONE :)

Lord Stanley 09-08-2010 05:32 PM

Hopefully not TOO many breaks, though, so there can still be some progress! :)

nowtun 09-21-2010 02:17 AM

Here's a quick screen shot of some of the objects in Rupture farms.

Does anyone know where I can get a good image of elum chubs, mudokon pops, new N tasty and meech munchies?

AvengingGibbons 09-21-2010 02:30 AM

if u cant find them, i'll be happy to make them for you. This is a poster I made for a development community earlier this year:

oh, and i'm liking that rendered image :)

nowtun 09-21-2010 02:57 AM

hey that would be great if you could make them... thanks
obviously you will be credited :-)

nice poster by the way

AvengingGibbons 09-21-2010 03:09 AM

Have you got any kind of reference images? for any of the products you mentioned? I found a decent "high"-res image of meech munchies.

It'd be best if you asked/looked around on this forum, because I'd bet someone at one time or another has already remade the posters ;)

I have had a look on TOGG there are some on there but they are at an angle not sure I can use this.

I'm going to see what the posters will look like if I scan them from the art of oddworld book.

Thanks AG

Slag? 09-21-2010 12:20 PM

nowtun 09-21-2010 12:37 PM
