Topic: Secret (Seed) Level...... or something

Well - since I have a backup of all the Seed graphics, I thought it'd be a good opportunity to share with the community.
I'm not quite sure how rare some of it is, but I've decided to post up some of what I think is rare... But I'm gonna let you play with it in 3D, so you can experience what it would've looked like in-game.

First up : FloatBed and FloatBed Handler

I'm gonna post up the Sharepoint and the LabStation (with a few attachments) as well.
I'd also like to do the MicroFactory with exchangeable Bits.

Cheers

Re: Secret (Seed) Level...... or something

Most welcome. The conversion does take a little time, but I should be able to up the Sharepoint and the LabStation fairly soon.

Yes, I have all 3D, and all the textures (even all the Photoshop files). In some cases I even have the Q databases. I think most of us actually managed to back up the stuff. We need it for resumés and job hunting.

Cheers

Re: Secret (Seed) Level...... or something

Oluf : Yeah. It would've been nice.

I'm still planning to go ahead with the SharePoint, and possibly some of the tools.

Thinking about setting up a MicroFactory with interchangeable Bits.
Thinking about setting up SteamBaths that you can walk in it (first person)

Re: Secret (Seed) Level...... or something

Aaaaannnnd (re)-introducing the Steam Baths

http://bp2.blogger.com/_ETQNqKwzNsE/RlhbH37RAjI/AAAAAAAAAN4/XZCUiri-K3c/s320/SteamBath.jpg

Please read the description before downloading, as it IS 15Mb.

It may actually be doable to make more sections of the tower this way. In theory, they could even be linked, so if you enter a radlock, ot loads up a new location, without you having to type a new adress in the browser.
That however, is a bit more long-haired smile

Re: Secret (Seed) Level...... or something

Yay, this is getting  better and better, thanks so much for it, HateTank.
The style still amazes me. Waiting for more smile

/thumbsup

Edit: I never noticed the lockers at the entrance in the game, damn, nice little detail.

Re: Secret (Seed) Level...... or something

dustman : Yes, it was the intention that you'd be stripped to your undies (and futuristic sports bra for those with female characters), once you came down the stairs in the "Dome". And you'd head down the funnel to the other semi-naked colonists.
Obviously reverse procedure when leaving.

Cheers

Re: Secret (Seed) Level...... or something

Oluf : TurnTool started out as a game engine used for 3 productions at the former Danish game developer "Pixeleers", where I worked 1998-2000. So it is no stranger to game graphics smile
I was however impressed myself, that it handles the location so well.

Re: Secret (Seed) Level...... or something

Nuala  : again, most welcome. Now I don't follow your RP'ing anymore, so I have no clue about what direction you've taken it. But I was kinda hoping that perhaps the models and/or levels could aid you a bit in your RP'ing.

Cheers

Re: Secret (Seed) Level...... or something

I must admit that everytime you share this kind of stuff with us i only want to play seed again tongue

Re: Secret (Seed) Level...... or something

Well - I have thought about it too. It would be fun to get it up and running, maybe through TurnTool somehow - but there is the small issue of the IP.

Oh - check the thread again - updated with :

http://bp2.blogger.com/_ETQNqKwzNsE/Rlqv5X7RAqI/AAAAAAAAAOw/tw-7I8DUxbg/s320/Radlock.jpg

Complete with cycle and a (faked and inaccessible) view of the Recspace and Canyon entrance.

I'm actually quite impressed, by how well TurnTool handles this. I dare to say that it is possibly better than Qube. ANd the stuff looks pretty much the same, except of course for some lacking particle effects etc.
If it was possible to setup zoning & scopes in TurnTool, it would run even smoother. But then again, there's no characters, items or hardpoints with machinery.

Cheers

Re: Secret (Seed) Level...... or something

Sorry to wake this one up again, but those models just brought back a whole new wave of nostalgia!

Thanks Hate!

Re: Secret (Seed) Level...... or something

My pleasure, Esme. That's kinda why I did it in the firstplace - that and to showcase some of my work of course smile

- I have gotten hold of all the characters and stuff too, but the way it was set up in Qube/Seed, makes it a friggin huge puzzle, and it will most likely be quite a task to get just one craracter properly assembled. But animation and rigging really isnt my area.
I might talk to Anders og Kristian, and see if they can help somehow, but I can't take the time out right now to do it.

Cheers

Re: Secret (Seed) Level...... or something

I was checking out the Steambaths, it was my first time I saw them, because my subscription ended just some days before Steambath's were implemented.

They are incredible ... I miss the old times ... wandering around the Tower ... Everytime I see a screenshot of Seed I am totally hooked ... those graphics were really special.

If you ever get it managed to provide us with more stuff, that would be great ... But ...but ... then i will start crying once more. Seed, I miss you!

Re: Secret (Seed) Level...... or something

Feelix : Thanks alot. About updates - I'd really love to do a character next, but for that I need help from one of the character guys. I still have tools and stuff though - I could probably throw some of the HUB variations I did just before shutdown (including Esme's tree), online.
It's a good idea - I might look into it soon. I have another project going on currently though ( http://polygonpoop.dk/2007/08/wip-mercu … -poly.html ) - but if you bookmark the seed interactive models page on my website, you'll know when it is done - or be a lazy bugger, and have the RSS feed... feed you wink

Cheers
