BEAR IN MIND THAT THIS IS JUST ONE HOUR OF WORK, HIGHLY WIP.

Looks nice - add some graffiti in there and it'll look very atmospheric.

Hes not modelling the whole level, so the argument is void in any case.

Just for the records, I AM modelling stuff for my maps, I don't use only models from other sources, I also use a lot of stuff of my own, this one in the picture being an example.

The pictures I've shown of my latest map are WIP, of course they won't be too detailed as i need to make the base first, and then add details when i have all the coding done and know where i want certain sequences to happen, otherwise i'd have to redo most of the stuff.

Just in case I HELD BACK on what I really wanted to say, guess I did correctly LOL.

A necessary evil it seems.

its looking awesome man, cant wait untill its done

Especially in EDuke32, you can make a lot of your maps using MD3's. Want a castle in your map? You can make an MD3 for it.

You should be able to use them for major structural details as long as you use blocking sprites to limit player movement to within the walls.

Those cars will be models and there is no limit (apart from polycount) on what else you can put in.

Have you actually tried this? It's not as simple as it sounds. Try getting the clipping right on a model that is shaped like a pyramid, for example. Also, there are fundamental differences between the way the game engine treats walls and how it treats sprites which can have a number of unwanted effects (and some really cool effects, too, like being able to destroy "walls").

[Tea Monster]

I didn't say it would be easy - I just said it should be possible. I've seen maps with entire staircases and floors made of blocking sprites. It should be possible to match that up with a 3D model to create some cool effects. Matching it up would be a major pain in the ass though, and yes, you would have some strange effects here and there unless you chose your models and maps very carefully.

But it is possible!!

[DavoX]

I've seen a mod that used invisible wall alligned sprites to avoid clipping on models, and guess what? I'm using it too .

Anyway...One of the NPC that will be roaming the city:

[gt1750]

Looks good. Hopefully the enemies will be as photorealistic as this guy

[Hellbound]

What's the polycount?

And something is wrong with his shoes. Besides that, he looks good! Where have you stole him?

[Quakis]

I don't care who made that or where it come from but that's actually a pretty decent NPC skin. Ankles looks a bit too thin however (might be the screenshot perspective)

Polycount? Wireframe shot?

I see what's going on here...And it's my fault for not saying "IT'S NOT MY MODEL, I DIDN'T MAKE IT!!" but hey...it is kinda obvious, thanks for beating me to it anyway.

Polycount is around 3000, a LOT, but still renders without frame rate dropping here (and I placed a lot of them in the map to check). But then again I have a lot of ram, and a fast video card, so I dunno...hopefully when this comes out people have better PCs.

[DeeperThought]

His head looks big and obnoxious, so I will shoot him immediately, preferably with an RPG in order to reduce the load on my video card.

Just what I wanted

[Bonesnapper]

THAT is a freaking sweet model there. I'll enjoy seeing him move around a little, if his animations are as good as the model itself.

[DavoX]

[Daedolon]

That's pretty must the single most awesome thing I've seen done with eduke32.

[DavoX]

Thanks man

[Batchelor]

Okay, when I looked at that my jaw literally dropped. I'm having a hard time believing that it's still duke3d.

Is that you

[Telee]

Looks ******* awesome

[oak man]

Yeah great job DavoX!

No, but i really hope someone makes a model of me, that'd be the main character.

[Mia Max]

Man, that makes me jealous

[Steve]

Man, this is some great stuff, DavoX

[alexgk]

Looking good. Looking really good.

[Mr.Fibbles]

Any updates DavoX?
Sometime soon I will get together some more of those models you were asking for. I just need to get in the mood. . .

[Dopefish7590]

Any updates DavoX?


this was looking sweet but I noticed you removed the link to this from your sig

[DeeperThought]

OK, let's try this one more time...

DavoX is still working on Paradise Worlds, but he cannot post about it on this forum. If you want to talk about the project, you can go to the forums at Alejandro's Mapping Center, where there is a thread about it. No other information will be offered here, so don't bother asking.
