Recreating Velious
I've decided to cross-post this over here in the P99 forums from my guild forums. I've received a lot of encouragement there and hoping the rest of the community will enjoy this as well.
My goal: to recreate a realistic-appearing version of Velious. This is being done using a combination of several programs: photoshop, maya, mudbox, and terragen 3. I'm learning this as I do it and given that fact I think it's going along very well. My modeling of the continent comes from the map image of the overall continent which actually looks a good bit different than the image in my head if you were to line up the individual zones together. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] My ultimate goal would be to render a fly-through of this as well though the render time would be crazy-long. First up, the entire continent was sculpted up in mudbox. Then, I imported it into terragen to begin building the continent, adding in the snow, breaking it up, adding in constraints, etc. Without further ado: The scars of Velious. ToV would be located within the far left valley. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The three main islands of Iceclad Ocean [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Time to work on populating the continent. I imported the terragen continent into maya to build my objects onto the actual continent for scaling. First up, the Tower of Frozen Shadow. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ToFS added in after UV texturing and a dock added in. Scale is difficult to appreciate but I have added trees to give a better sense of it. [You must be logged in to view images.

Log in or Register.] Added snow coverage to the new bridge. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] [You must be logged in to view images.

Next up I got the Ry'Gorr Fort walls up.
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Then populated it with some buildings and added some trees along the eastern wastes. It doesn't have the same look as the fort ingame but I think by looking at it you get what it is supposed to represent. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I am currently working on creating the portal circles for Iceclad, CS, etc. If you look at the continent map Thurgadin is actually situated in a little port on the northern edge of the island up against the mountains. I plan on trying to create a waterfall in that area to represent where those guys are hiding.

Looking good, Hezron.
This reminds me of a similar project by toddfx using mudbox. http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...006#post792006 | ||

This is absolutely awesome.
If you want to send me some scenes when you are done, I'll use my CPU time to help render portions. I am unsure if this is possible, but if it is, it's the least I can do to help.
