Gorgeous!
Have you ever seen Castle In The Sky by Miyazaki? One of my all time favorites for flight sequences.

*sigh* I want to work on this so bad my toes are itching <um, boss? that's...>
Passion. Yes, I know. <no, I was saying...>
Desire. Enthusiasm. We get it. <no! your itching is...>
Spirit! Will you *drop it* bird?! <... sure, boss>

Sheesh.

I do not have a youtube account yet (ugh another account) so I just uploaded my video here.

Niiice! That looks very cool, man.

[lordofworms]

Excellent work ShadowM!!

I can only say again that I'm very impressed by all the responses and hope I didn't appear like I was asking for the moon with my longer post. The stuff here is already more than I could have hoped for in many ways and that was just some ideas voiced for the odd chance someone would feel like doing them.

There is little I can offer in return other than extensive thanks, but if any of you have an interest in taking part in a sea-adventure weekly campaign - either as a player or as a 'guest star', please let me know.

A bit off topic, but out of curiosity, can this manner of object (skysphere bubble) be made as a creature object in addition to a placeable object?

Combined with the visibility manipulation options in NWNX (which allow visibility to be set for creatures but not placeables), you'd be able to make some interesting nightmarish overlays even in a multiplayer environment that were only visible to a specific player.

OTR: do you have a working tileset for the ship at sea?

Lord of worms: the link social.bioware.com/project/8131/#files to the file shows [no files]. Also do you have a working air ship tile set?

I would like sea travel, and airship travel. I am willing to work on the tileset my self, or help.

I've been working on a basic one.  Will post when I'm done.

I am almost finished with my release as well, for CC builders a few notes.

I edited the microtileset to add these new features in, so if your actually using that set in your own PW/MOD you will have to duplicate the set as a different one. why anyone would use the microset itself is kinda beyond me since it doesnt contain ANY features that Rural doesnt already have.

I should have it available on the vault by next week...or if your in a real hurry and know how to edit haks/extract you can download my "wrm_PW_COREh.7z" from my arbor falls download page.

and extract to your hearts content....hell there might even be a few extras in there you all might want..permission granted ahead of time to repackage,recompile,edit,rip,steal my childs cereal...its all good...

This is outstanding! RESPECT! (I really feel VERY SMALL seeing those clips with your doings . Thumbs up!

[ShadowM]

Sorry RL grabbed me away for awhile.

[Builder__Anthony]

gotqa have some fun

[Leurnid]

So will the 'flight' effect be able to be slowed to a crawl?

The clip shows a fast ride, but if you want to simulate a cloud-castle or a gentle balloon ride, little if any motion of the sky would be nice.

[Pustelnick]

Any progress?

[Leurnid]

Is the speed of transit across the ocean/sky going to be variable, ideally so the rate of apparent travel can be changed on the fly (slow to a stop, etc).

The demo vid of the fiery plumes in the red sea got me to thinking.... how hard would it be to create water spout and cyclone effects to accompany this project?

Also, will it be possible to create the illusion of something like a slow ride down a river? I think not, if I understand how this is being done correctly, but I felt like it needed to be asked.

Although it might beg credibility after being more or less silent on these forums for about two months, I'm finally getting a little break in RL and so last nigtht I started putting the pieces together for a bare ship tileset.  It will have 8 or so ships.  The way I see it, they'll need to have their water line standardized (assuming a placeable water of X height used), adjust the walkmesh accordingly and then have all their textures made unique to the tileset to prevent any kind of conflict.  Free time is really spotty right now, but it's better than it has been.  If anyone thinks they can have a quicker go of it, PM me and I can send you the max file, etc.

I imagine a slow ride down a river would include a moving bank and trees and stuff like that.  This kind of thing would probably make a better effect.  Basically, think three big playing cards moving under the player, one after another, and looping back.

[NWN_baba yaga]

that is unbelievably cool. How ever you came up with that idea its outstanding and unique. Would be awesome if you share the technically concept/ files for us to build upon. Respect!

[KlatchainCoffee]

Wonderful stuff as usual.

I would love some sort of 'moving landscape' to be included in the final tileset.

[ShadowM]

Well If I correct, he is using placables that are doing a rotation animation. I started to messing with this with my flame placables in my demo movie before I went off on some other projects. The pc or center of the screen is not moving but the big placables is giving the illusion of movement. There are some gaps as you watch the animation. Have you tried one big doughnut / tire like placable that is just constantly rotating under the minecart? This would take away the gaps. This would work great in the mine cart example. Rolling down a river would be hard since you do not want repeating scenery.
Great stuff like always OTR always keeping people thinking in new ways.

[Builder__Anthony]

just thinking................if its a placeable it should be able to be fliped upright instead of laying flat.Maybe some other roataing texxtures could be applied like a sky or illusionay wall,wall of fire,things like that could be created.

[OldTimeRadio]

@Baba Yaga - I animated it by the seat of my pants last night and there are some errors in it.  I was hoping the demo video would basically show people all they needed to reproduce the effect.  It's just three plates, each with a chunk of scenery on it (in this case track) which zoom by the player in order.  After a plate has zoomed far enough passed the player (and they presumably can nolonger see it), I move it around to a starting spot so it can zoom passed them again.  I made the animation moving the plates around the side so people would explicitly see that I'm recycling the same three plates over and over.  I think I should have made the plates longer or had 4 plates instead of 3.  Each of the plates move by 2500cm every 15 frames and, basically, the problem I encountered is that the since the animation is to loop, the last plate in the sequence has to take some of it's 15 frames to move back into the starting position and that makes it move a little differently than the rest. 

@KlatchainCoffee - Thank you!  I think it's probably better to keep the tileset just bare ships instead of embedding any sort of effect.  I would already be done or close to done but I'm doing something wrong with the door nodes and they're not placing right yet.  I also have a more-than-sneaking feeling that Lord of Worms and others are going to be putting out better effect placeables than I could make and embed myself. 8^)

@ShadowM - It's just one placeable, believe it or not!  I don't think I could actually sync up the animations on 3 different placeables like that.  I did try doing the ship with a torus  but even as large as it is, I started to realize there would be some problems, like a visible bend in the sky and a circular ring at the front and back as the tube fades into the mist.  But for a minecar or a ship in a cavern system, maybe the options are more open.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon OTR's youtube channel and the videos related to this. Awesome. This thread. You guys.

[KlatchainCoffee]

I would be very grateful if any of the wonderful content presented here was made available in usable form. All I really need is one or two walkable ship models set in the middle of realistic-looking ocean.

The lions share of my campaign is already built, and although I could just use the 'still' water in the existing tilesets, I thought it might be worth asking here first.

Thank you!
