Post subject: | Lyceum Spacebases |
I was wondering if anyone with the modeling chops wanted to take a whack at this. My idea for the concept is a circular platform that contains ancient Grecian (maybe even Roman for the domes) style buildings (but updated to be a bit sci-fi!) gardens, fountains, etc, that we could toss a 'force field' around. Other ideas are welcome though. Ideally there would be three base models. There would be a large 'main complex' for the large bases in Lyceum, a medium sized complex for the less important bases, then smaller single building platforms for stuff like class bases. If anyone wants to give this a go, let me know! Calypso |

Could you provide a few reference photos? There are a few styles of roman domes depending on the time frame. |

Ill will take a shot at it. I got some ideas that would make it cool. And for the dome do you want a poly for glass part or have no poly there? |

He's probably thinking of something like The Pantheon or St. Peter's Basilica, or something suitably rotunda-esque with those famous Roman colonnades everyone likes to associate with places of learning or governance. |

Also, what kind of poly limit are you looking for? <20k or so for the main one, maybe 5k per for the small ones? |

It looks good but one thing is most players play from the birds. Eye view so that would look lije a circle and anytying out under would not be seen. |

Pantheon and the Basilica a are very good examples. Also consider the Acropolis or the temples at Delphi. That looks really nice, but it does have the problem w/ bird's eye view. That's why I was thinking about garden sections, trees, fountains, etc. But I think that would look amazing even from top view w/ the right texture! As for a force field, we have the resources in client already to do something like that. I can just slap a sphere around it Poly limit isn't that big a concern, it's a space base so it's not like there are going to be 50 of them in one galaxy! I think under 20k for the main base and ~5k for the smaller ones would probably be ok. Calypso |

Looks good, James, it's a good start. Caly, when you said gardens I immdiately thought of Kami's Palace from Dragon Ball, but with green spaces, walkways and fountains. And a giant glass dome. xP |

Hey guys her some updates i wan not able to do much today, but here what i did, finished the other side of the dome, reduced the up rights pillars in polys, build a main platform, and 4 extending platform, and made a DNA like thing. Also i was thinking that the structure biggee531 is making could be put on one of the platforms, after she is finished and if she is willing. Tell me what you think, her are pics. |

Biggee's a dude but that stuff does look cool. The triangular lattice isn't very classical but it still looks awesome and would definitely also work from the top-down view. |
