Mapping Help / Re: Possibility of having water at different levels

« on: June 30, 2011, 05:26:53 PM »

The thing is I've tried that and sure enough the water does appear to be in the lake, yet the water appears to be omnipotently invisible everywhere else.

Mapping Help / Possibility of having water at different levels

« on: June 30, 2011, 01:59:53 PM »

I was curious to know if it's possible to have water at different levels of terrain. For a map I'm making just now I was hoping to have lakes in mountains and much lower down in the map to have a river. I think my topic title is a little misleading as I know you can have more than one water object, However The water seems to go on forever. When I set the scale of the water this just appears to change the scale of the texture but not the actual physical water itself. Is it possible to stop where water goes and confine it to a square?

Hey Swholli. Glad you liked it? Do you have much effects work done? There are some shots I'd love to test out to see if it's possible, I'm starting to use the camera paths addon to produce what I think are some convincing effects. For example you may like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYjh_laVhAg . If I were to work on your project I'd redo the opening titles as the models I used are in fairness pretty crap I just did it pretty quickly so I could try it out. I'd also want to practice getting laser beams right. For the first shot I copied the exact positions and shapes of the lasers and explosions, for the second one I improvised to speed things up.

But again I think it would be interesting to try some of the more complex effects.


Edit: you've clearly seen that video too :P We talked about it in the comments.

Ah well hopefully some mod might decided to move it Barn.

I might do some more as It's enjoyable doing these type of 'moving' brick shots.

I decided to recreate the famous opening of Star Wars so I could try out doing 'model' effects. I'm pleased with how it turned out

Tatooine was made by having 6 64x64 baseplates with randomly placed 1x8 flats and randomly painted. Then distorted it in photo shop and added an outer blue glow.

Didn't realise this existed. I started recreating some of Star Wars then I was told about this. Hope you won't mind too much that someone else is doing a Star Wars film (the one I'm doing isn't parody I was just recreating using original audio). Anyway good luck with your project. I like it so far.

Chromakeying indeed. The side on shot after it passes the truck required me to film it 3 times. Once the foreground with greenscreen (A long line of tall glowing printbricks) then again filming the car but going at an opposite direction and finally the same path as the first shot however I deleted the foreground so it was just the background. I did similar techniques in my Piggy film.

I decided to try the Camera Paths add-on for filming

http://forum.returntoblockland.com/dlm/viewFile.php?id=3235

It's a damn good add-on for filming and brilliant for motion control if you want to do special effects work like making bricks move like I did in the video.

Barn made the car, Ace made the bridge, Lilboarder32 made the mod HOGL MAK VID

Fantastic. I thought of Versailles before I read your description so I guess you did well.
