Some 3D stuff
 

Here is an Abe's Exoddus Bonewerkz-style scene I've made using 3DS Max. Ofcause it needs alot of cleen-up. I'm planning to use this when I'll have some time to code an engine for my oddworld game, maybe if February or March, and I'll be making levels for it.

So here is it:

Yay more 3D stuff!
That's really cool Admiral Zaarin. How long did it take to make?

That looks pretty sweet. But aren't the bricks in boneworks more brownish?

Put some blood in the sene! >_>, but really, I thought the walls were filled with some blood?? Oh man! I just love seeing some more 3D stuff!

Wow, nice scene. Looks great. Which light are you using? Mr. Area Omni, maybe?

Yes. The bricks at the Bonewerkz were much more brownish, but this wasn't ment to be Bonewerkz - it's gonna a concrete production plant, but in the same half-ruined style of Bonewerkz.

Tidus

The light is omni with advanced ray tracing plus dim skylight. Still I don't like those crappy sharp shadowing intersections, I'm finding a way to remove them.

I'm planning to make a game sort like Abe's Oddysee around February or March, when I'll have holidays after the exams. Maybe someone have any ideas of interesting level designs and puzzles?

wow this is soooo cool and you even will make a game :D

haha that's awesome!!! :fuzgrin:

If I have a good idea for the game I'll tell ya ;)

Thanks for the reply, I don't know much about illumination at 3D Max...

Ideas? Well, haven't you planned to remake Abe's Oddysee? Well it's illegal, but you can get inspired by that..

Technically, making ANY game using any oddworld characters, names, places, or words is IP infringement and is illegal, regardless of what you will be doing with the final outcome.

The scene is looking good though zaarin :)

no matter if it's illegal or not, you're not the first one, - As long as you don#t do it for money I think it's ok, I mean if making a fangame (for free) is really illegal than drawing fanart and stuff is illegal too, no?:p

gee! I want to play this game :happy:

Well, as you know, Oddworld won't claim copyrights on this. This is gonna be a fangame, and that's ok.


By the way, it's coming great. I want to see how this grows up =)

I'm gonna make this game just for pleasure not for waging money. I'm just somewhat very keen on Oddworld and want to make a game that will be more or less editable for fans. So I'll get coding the engine in holidays after the examinations session so be patient :)! I'll be probably only able to code the engine and make several levels due to temporal limitations then I'm going to pass the level-making over to the community (if i'll make some very basic level editor), or at least level-designing.
I still can't consider wether I'll be making a 2D-gameplay 3D graphics game or just custom 2D with sprites and pre-rendered backgrounds, like Abe's Oddysee (which is considerably easier to code end to edit). Coding even the most basic 3D engine on C++ is a lot of pain-in-@ss and is very time-consuming, while 2D won't take much time and efforts. Also if I consider making a 3D game I'll need some help with living characters (low-poly, ofcause) ans I'm not too good in modelling and animating lifeforms. Also 3D game probably won't allow very complicated movie-quality backgrounds (due to system resourses issues).

I say go with 2D. 2D is much cooler.:D Besides it's way less effort and it would be more remniscent of the first two Oddworld Games.

Don't start ANOTHER bitch fight!

Anyway, I want to see more! :D

I don't see any fight. Can't we quote ourselves? :)

Anyway, can you please post more screenshoots?

Yes, ofcause there will be more of them, but be patient;). Currently I'm preparing for exams and my spare time is really very limited. So I'll post them on occasion.

Nice I'll wait :)

Yeah, I know what it is :confused:

awesome, a 3d side scroller of abe games! WOOOT! now we just need an abe 3d model. why doesn't someone just rip models from munches oddysee?

I think It'd be more efficient to make the new models from scratch rather than screwing around and loosing time with ripping Munch Oddysee file formats. But if someone have time to do this it would be good.

I've expanded my scene and here is the screen:

Nice, it's coming great. Maybe it comes better if you put some rusty metal materials :)

Yes, rust is adding great effect. Besides I'm going to make a free-fire zone with a ruined old part of factory with rusty armature and metal walls, ruined brick pillars, severed pipes etc.

I think rust should be applied to any Oddworld game. Why? Because it shows that glukkons are too cheap to make a decent factory.

Wow, that's looking great! Very nice textures and stuff.

Wow, thats a really well made level! I hope to see more.

What if it's not set on oddworld, away from glukkons.

Admiral Zaarin, this has huge potential. Good luck!

Well considering this is an Oddworld forum, I think it's set on Oddworld.:D Either way rust looks cool too.

Yay rust! :p
That lookes really wicked! xD
Love the free-fire zone! Can't wait to see it.

What I meant was what if it was set in the universe of citizen siege? No glukkons there(as far as we know....)
RUST ROCKS!!!!!

Here is a Scrabania scene I've drawn rescently, I've put several prefab plants there but I'll replace them with scrabanian cacti later... Now I'm learning how to make fog and clouds to make it look more realistic...

I've added the fog...

wow it's really cool :D
