After the mind numbing task of creating textures and sample
models, I was able to get to work on EB.
This is just a small area export I was using to test with. When I loaded the exported models I added the cel
outlining. It is not part of the export.

I guess ill have to get a copy of guiles now, and see how the toon lightmaping looks on these maps.

Jsoren(Posted 2007) [#6]
this reminds me alot of the Final Fantasy Tactics/advance games scenery, looks nice.


North(Posted 2007) [#7]
Just a question since you did not answer my email: What about the textures we were talking about? Don't need them anymore?

deps(Posted 2007) [#8]

RifRaf(Posted 2007) [#9]

trb(Posted 2007) [#10]
Awesome. I just purchased the beta. I have been looking for a builder like this!


RifRaf(Posted 2007) [#11]
Thank you. I have also reopened the forums located at www.empowergames.com/forum


UUICEO(Posted 2007) [#12]
Did you delete you old forum?


RifRaf(Posted 2007) [#13]
Yeah, I had to. The signup doent require any special activation anymore though, anyone can just set up a name and access it all.


RifRaf(Posted 2007) [#14]

Tyler(Posted 2007) [#15]
You, sir, are a god among men. That looks awesome :D


RifRaf(Posted 2007) [#16]
thanks Tyler .. heres the progress so far. Slow going
because ive had to convert a zelda map to data form so I
could accuratly recreate it. As well as the original NES
has no real height values where there are stairs so im having to guess how that should look.

Hey tyler, I dont suppose you can make me a small iron
statue, like the temple guards in the NES version. the ones
you touch and they come alive. Thats pretty much the only
prop I cant make myself.

RifRaf(Posted 2007) [#17]

overworld. The shot below is 8 of 32 "rooms"

Nack(Posted 2007) [#18]
This looks really cool, I really like the style.


RifRaf(Posted 2007) [#19]
Thanks Nack, ive gotten 12 of the 32 rooms made, the area
is getting too large to show in one shot, so from now on
ill just take snaps closer to the ground. When its done
ill make a walkaround demo and post it as well.

Depending on whether or not i get burned out of the zelda
kick before i finish this overworld, I may make some sort
of basic game to showcase the map ceonvertion.. Maybe a CTF
thing .. Octorcs Vs Grumbles or somthing.

RifRaf(Posted 2007) [#20]
You cant see alot of detail because of how far out I have to pull the camera, but i thought I would post my progress anyway.. The orignal nes overworld. half done.

Yeshu777(Posted 2007) [#22]

Neuro(Posted 2007) [#23]

RifRaf(Posted 2007) [#24]

deps(Posted 2007) [#26]
This could turn out to be one of the coolest zelda remakes ever! ;)

Amazing stuff! Keep up the good work. I'm tempted to buy the editor when it comes out. (If my paycheck allows it)

Edit: Will the map work as expected using MiniB3D?


RifRaf(Posted 2007) [#27]
i dont use minib3d, but I dont see why not, theres nothing out of the ordinary about the B3D exports.


Chroma(Posted 2007) [#28]
This is what I'm talking about when I ask "Got VISION?" in my sig. Great idea, great execution. Superb work RifRaf.


RifRaf(Posted 2007) [#29]
Thanks Chroma,

The map is done. I added the dof effect from the Ashadow lib. Below is an overview, then some dof preview shots. When I get a chance ill molebox the roaming demo and link it.



and dof shots

Thanks RifRaf.


Thanks

RifRaf(Posted 2007) [#33]
Here is the demo you can roam around in, if the DOF effect slows things down , you can hit F3 to disable it.
