'Beauty shot' of Abydos

I've got the SGC somewhere as well which I need to find, backed it up a while ago and forgot where the CD is!! I'll post screenies of it as soon as I can. In the mean time here's an old shot with my old event horizon, using a roq file now rendered in Max to make it look real:

I also need to record a demo of the gate dialing but that's bloody tedious and may just wait to show it off in the map!

Hey if I could make the sands of a desert neon I would! I'm kinda limited with Abydos to the fact everything is sand or sandstone.

Everytime I look at that second pic I pass out because of its sheer beauty...

I understand that you can't make it all flashy and such since it's all desert, but the sand texture looks a bit detailless. Add more detail (like those wind corrosian thingies. (*great explaining zooikes...*)) to it and it'll be a lot better, I think.

I know what you mean, I'll do that next time I make it again (Abydos is something I'm never satisfied with and keep remaking [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]). Actually...that goes for the gate, rings, SGC and ha'tak too!

Everything looks very nice. The fourth shot, the exterior of the pyramid, is lacking something though... Maybe you could include the camp that they set up in the movie?

That screenshot of Abydos is before penumbra even came out in Q3Map2 [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif] I've been too busy with the ha'tak and temple among other things to get back to work on Abydos.

Don't worry I intend to make full use of Q3Map2 in all area's, hell the temple is a fully 3DS Max built level exported as ASE. That's thanks to Q3Map2, nevermind the q3map_shadeangle key to make it appear like parts of the mesh are smooth. You know the weirdest thing tho? My FPS is higher than it is in most maps. I think it's because I'm in complete control of the triangles of the mesh, only putting in the ones that are necessary. Hinting the map is a breeze too, seen as the entire map is a model it doesn't create any splits so you get to make them yourself with the caulk hull and hint brushes. I've really got the game drawing minimally.

Kurt Russell was O'Neill. Richard Dean Anderson now is O'Neill and personally I think he's better, he adds humour and a sense of a real person where as Kurt was the typical tough soldier guy who had little going for him. I prefer RDA.

Could someone tell me how long it takes for a map to appear @ Massassi, the screenshot of the SGC gate above is from a map that I've released and I submitted it to Massassi (at least I hope I emailed it to the right place) so curious of an ETA.

I've also submitted to JK2Files...3 weeks ago, boy is FN getting bad as of late! Network down often...slow to add files, out of date site design.

One of the reasons why I'm a proponet of the auto-posting idea. Aaaannyway, I don't think that it will take a long time for Massassi to post your map. Just don't pester them (yet). They're human and have activities other than Massassi.

All I'll say is, watch series one of SG-1 through and you'll love it - unless you've done it. This is one thing where movie->series=better than movie. They really went upmarket from the movie, it's a whole new world they created.
2003-11-07, 9:02 AM #31
I've seen enough to be pretty bored with the minimal character development and safe storylines. The only interesting parts I saw was in the pilot eps when they killed Kowalski and later when some dude dressed like His Divine Shadow blew up the planet from the movie. Otherwise pretty bleh.

It's a series now not a movie...you haven't given it chance, when you watch any series you know that every episode the main characters will survive, it's like that in all series...there is an exception in Stargate Season 6 which if you watched it would know [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

Honestly man, if you don't give it a real chance you won't know how good it is and you'll miss out on all the jokes, all the clichés and all those moments that make SG-1 SG-1!
2003-11-07, 4:46 PM #33
The problem is everything that makes it SG1 makes it dull and stale.

Besides, it's pretty tough to beat a show that's found a way to kill the main character and KEEP him dead. Sort of.

Because we all know that it's impossible to outdo a show with no main character...

Actually, what happened was FarScape "doubled" John Crichton, but instead of being a nice, clean, single ep and it's resolved issue (which is what SG1 would have done) they ran with it for half a season. Then towards the end of Season 3 they killed one of the doubles (and of course, it was the "lucky" John who got together with the main love interest, which lead to one of the most brilliant performances I've seen in a SciFi TV show by Claudia Black in the follow-up episode).

So there ya go. Main character died and STAYED dead.
