WorkInProgress TrackMania 2 Environment

[meuh21]

I worked on the landscape and now it looks so! Water! Thanks to Maxi031.

Did you find a way to make water ? And if yes, how (could be useful to other people ) ?

[TMarc]

nice dunes, but please consider that wet material usually looks a bit darker.
Therefore you need a different texture on the ground below, or make the water surface have a slightly darker texture perhaps.

Okay. Now i changed the lightmap. The water now is a bit blue and it have the same effect.

[wooloo]

Hey there,

I worked on the landscape and now it looks so! Water! Thanks to Maxi031.

Here are pictures: (I'm focused on the big item)




The project won't die!

But the hardest point: Custom blocks! Wee need a new blockset.

I can help out with simple blocks, like the concrete-block in canyon. Can anyone help?

Really nice!
About the blocks, first we should think of a very clear concept. Would be bad if we make dirt roads and then decide to make a city envi ^^

My idea:
A mediterranean coast village, but with some dirt roads, beaches and more vegitation. A mix of Coast and island! Would love to see that!
Name could be Seaside for example.

Hey, wooloo! Nice idea!

I'm already working on the concept, i will post it here.

Seaside is not bad! We will see, what we can do on the landscape to make it better!

Regards,
Florenzius

Seems like someone has too big Lagoon hype and decided to make it for own

[Florenzius]

Ok,

I made ready the landscape today in the morning. In the afternoon, I upload a few pictures.

Now where the community plays a role: Can you help at one or more of the some points?

· Custom Blocks; we need a fully new blockset, I can create platform-blocks or samll items, but at track-blocks I (we) need help

· Music; We need for the custom blocks new custom textures. Can anyone help?

· Music; when the first closed-beta-tests are done, we need music. The game should have 3-5-game Music and a Menu-Music. Who can help?

· Solo-Campaigns; if the pack is ready, we need a complete campaign with maps. I can create many maps, but we need some more map-builders.

· Trailer; When the full game is ready, we need a Launch-Trailer (Teaser can make i). It must look professional and have a good music. Now is not yet applicable.

Who can help?

[wooloo]

Music is for sure the best thing I can do! But there are some other guys that make nice music too, for example Nerpson or Beatinfected. But I would love to contribute here!
Atm I have another musical project, but I think it will need some time to come this far ^^
I can do maps too
Also I currently try to get into 3D Modelling with blender, but this is a VERY far way for me, so you can't sadly expect any (good) 3D models form me.

EDIT:
One more thing, for the enviroment it would be nice if we have sea on the one side and a big mountains on the other side. Just an idea, but it would be cool!

EDIT 2:
A good source for textures: http://www.cgtextures.com/
If I understand the licence right we can use the textures in our project

[Florenzius]

Oh, thats really nice!

- Music: Awesome! But don't now^^ First we need new blocks. I'll contact you when it's time for music

I asked xrayjay for blocks, but he can't. So we must ask other creators. Any idea?

- Mountains: Good Idea! I make some mountain-blocks

Thanks for the texture-tip! I searched for a website like this!

Cheers,
Florenzius

I heared with "Amin.gbx"-files i can improve standard-cars in the pack. I want an other car-model. How?

AND:

With searching i can't find about how to improve items in titlepacks. In the finished pack the custom blocks and items must be included. How?
