Creation of a new Pro Map Making crew

[Volvox]

Screen pics coming soon, i'm kinda busy cuz of my physics contest tomorrow. Wish me luck, i'll need it

 

[Direfury]

Alright:
Don't crash and burn too soon!I'll miss all the fun

 

[hellclown]

*shrug**sigh* okay

 

[Direfury]

We've decided that if anyone wants to join the Urahara Workshop for support in a project, feel free to post some of your work and we'll get back to you about it.

Also,if we grow to a large size, I for one say we will be limited to working on either individual projects (or none) or working on one of two big projects that the team has decided to work on.

 

[Volvox]

A bunch of screenshots from the swamps! I hope you'll like them...

 

[hellclown]

those are awesome screen shots seems to be missing some thing I just can't place it.

 

[Direfury]

It looks more like a bright, open part of Brazil, more like a rain forest. Swamps in my experience are a bit...darker, trees cutting off lots of sunlight, less hapyp vegetation, tons of rotten undergrowth, along with a good ton of butterflies huddled around the small pockets of light.

 

[Volvox]

That is a dark definition of swamp... I prefer friendly and stench-free glades with plenty of sunshine and dense vegetation. Not everything has to be black, you know...

P.S. the water is pathable all the way, it think that is okay for a swamp...

And another edit: The altar area is all set up! Feast your eyes on first rough pics!

 

[Direfury]

Yeah but the one i'm talking about,its beautiful on its own,the dead shrubs make great fertilizers,meaning darker flowers start to sprout, and the pockets of light pouring in add a peaceful feeling to the place.

We have to start using the Urahara Forum for this, Volvox. We can keep this thread up for recruiting later on.

 

[Volvox]

Urahara is buggy... And i like the hive's night elf theme a lot, they're my favourite race.

 

[Direfury]

Yeh,well this place is darker than most forums, which is probably the only reason I bother around here...I freakin hate those bright ass forum skins, they hurt my eyes...

 

[hellclown]

I second that notion

 

[04gusigo]

Ill change our forum to the darker one dont worry... Ill try sometime today.

 

[hellclown]

cool i like the new them!!!!

 

[Direfury]

Actually I think its the OLD theme, anyways,whats the forum link?

 

[Jetherit]

I think you will be quite usefull if you know how to make an AI script or like how to get who is the Host and those kind of usefull things... So can you?

The host thing is a simple script that you can get off world-editor-tutorials I think. As for AI scripts, no.

 

[overload119]

I'll join. I can be triggerer, icons, texturing, pretty much anything.

MSN is [email protected]

Hi!
I didn't read all this posts, so probably I'll say something out of time.
I wish to join the team.
In this moment, I don't have too much time due to school and a personal project that I need finish.
I'm good at triggering and story writing. I can assist 04gusigo with triggering and †-Revellion-† with story writing, only if he wants.
I've an hotmail, I've a good knowledge of the WC3 and every day I'm in The Hive Workshop, to see the forums and that stuff.
For know, anything you ask me to do for the future map, you should give me a deadline of a minimum 4 to 5 days to made it and delivery it. (this only if you accept me in your team) So try to ask me something not too small.
Maybe you can give me some backup on my map and then release it as the Team's first project, it's up to you.

Hi im interested in joining, read about 5 pages but don't quite have the main idea.

Im basically a mediocre modeller with alot of spare time.

I did catch the page where everyone was brainstorming on the geomerged model and transforming the unit as it progresses. Thats a pretty good idea. I also thought maybe we if got a good modeller, someone could wip up a a cleaner version of the peasant model and put on custom attachment points so that your character could confortably wear a full suit of armor.

Possibly add in a fun little command to change to a cam directly in front of your hero to see the full suit of armor and wep(s) your wearing to pass time to regen health/mana, or just for kicks.

[04gusigo]

the last three posts, they are all accepted.
and here is our team's forum:
Urahara Workshop

 

[hellclown]

Yes Finally Some Help With Models

 

[Volvox]

I have a request to make. All of you, please, post some of your w3 work(models, art, whatever) cause it's kinda stupid... Only me and revellion are actually posting pictures of our work and it is nice to know about other teammates' style...

P.S.
Take some time to check my terrain pictures(all in this thread) and comment them, that would mean a lot to me.
+ rep me if you like them, i really won't be mad at you

 

[Wizardum]

Yes, that's a good idea but for example, I can't show some of my work, triggers, I won't post here triggers. However I can post here some story ideas but who will cares abut. surely stories made by Revelion are too much better.

 

[Volvox]

Don't underestimate yourself, it's all a matter of inspiration.

 

[Wizardum]

But are you really asking to post here our art? even story ideas?

 

[Syleona]

Hmm, I actually posted stuff from my work

 

[hellclown]

I would post pics but my computer is GAY and won't let the printer hook up so no screen shots from me sorry

 

[Volvox]

Of course, post anything. Lucky me, i'm a terrainer

 

[hellclown]

so you want me to post the models that I make?

 

[sk8er754]

Im the process right now of backing up my files to this comp after a wipe cuz i screwed up my graphic drivers and its taking awhile since the comp i would be pulling files off of had its hard-drive go out so im using an older comp to transfer the files and its pretty slow..but here is some links to some models i've made.
They were all done within 1 hour, mostly 30mins. Im not very good at organic models yet but im practicing.

To anyone interested in story writing,I know by personal experience that stories are about beauty and the subtle ways of working, rather than "durr John was happy". A story comes from experience and your own world, my head is always up in the clouds, and I can work up a novel in very little time. All writers have their own way, and thats what makes a story what it is.

Also, welcome to the team everyone, i'm glad to see Urahara has started to grow. Aside from my speech there, i'd like to say this:
So far,i'm the Urahara Workshops leading Spirituality, Religion & Magic based information, as they are some of my personal studies. I also know of branches of Demonology that almost nobody in the world has explored, so if anyones up for a small bit of inspiration for a story or project of their own, I'm probably the one to turn to.

 

[hellclown]

Um okay just don't summon anything that you will regret later. "What goes around comes around."-some Wicca book that I read along time ago

 

[Direfury]

First of all,I don't summon, second of all, I talk to the leader of a Wiccan cult in the U.S, so I know all I need to know about their religion without going through all of their wierd practices.

Also:
I have connections to live Cree Shamans & Spirit Walkers.
I speak regularly with a Priest about certain 'hauntings' that seem to happen frequently in my entire neighborhood.
I also know Satanists, Buddhists, etc.
Along with these people, the friend who researched the artifacts I mentioned has also managed to buy an old tome that summerizes most of the information and includes many parts I haven't seen in other conscripts such as Demonic trios, wars within wars, betrayal and a prophecy involving the stars here, aswell as another humans theory of dimensions, the ether and the powers of the human mind.

 

[Volvox]

Map is finally done! The weight of the map is about to get transfered to your back, gusigo! I'll upload the map later this evening.

 

[overload119]

Okay here is some of the work I've done.

If I'm not good enough, it's really no problem.

EDIT: I joined without knowing what the project would be, not that interested in an AoS anyway.

 

[Volvox]

Your texturing skills are great. We could use some1 like you.

 

[Syleona]

Hmm... I joined the team forums not so long ago. Shouldn't we discuss things over there?

 

[04gusigo]

so syleona you actually didnt forget about the team? I thought you went over to that New Modding team...

And, nice job Volvox!

 

[Syleona]

No, I didn't went over. I am not that kind of a person.

 

[Volvox]

i made no screenshots of new areas, don't know why... You'll just have to wait a bit to see them. Also i set 3 "mushroom locks" that guard the entrance to the temple. Now it is up to you to do the triggering, i marked the regions already. The basic idea is:
3 units have to be in 3 mushroom regions at the same time(mushroom key ) and then they get teleported to the temple. We could also set the time limit for being in the temple. After that, those units get back to the mushrooms.
I did not set up any gates on forts, that would complicate the unit spawn unnecessary. If you have any suggestions, keep them to yourself(just kidding) cause i will not modify the terrain any more once i upload the map. All your suggestions will be done when all other stages of the map are completed. Your turn, guys!

 

[Direfury]

right, send it to me next, I want to take a look at some things.

 

[hellclown]

we need to start a subject on theology in the off topic section.
BTW:can I has the map soon?

 

[Direfury]

Alright, I want to see how many people in the group are interested in our nameless project. I'd like to have ALL details of the entire maps lore PMed to me by the people who've originally started on this project so I can create a name for it.

For all other members of the team who AREN'T interested in this map, name a project you would like to work with with any others not wanting to be included in the main project.

 

[hellclown]

um do you have the item list it has some pretty interesting information on most of the items.

 

[Direfury]

So much for seeing this thread active..

 

[Volvox]

There is no need for much activity right now because the map development is under way, now everybody just does his part of the job. Any ideas should be posted dough.

 

[hellclown]

I made more of the models now I has a question do i need to make multiple models of the same thing or can we just texture it differently?

 

[Volvox]

just redo the texture, no need for multiple models.

 

[Direfury]

I'd like to see a screenshot of the base model and the textures used.
Later on, I can give the models a new skin with new details, logos, etc.

Too Rakdos,Defiler:
I saw the rep.Don't make me hurt you
"Me no like sarcasm."

 

[hellclown]

hmmmmmm maybe got the program to run in mac will try screenies soon
