               Very nice. I like the tilt.

Got any coral reefs punching holes in the deck boards? '>
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Borden Haelven]

               Ooo!!! I hate when peeps come up with a good idea just when I finish stuff. LOL Next version I think...

I didn't include the bubble of air model in my submission?!
Ack!
Wait!
It wasn't me!
It was the one-armed man!
No...
It was Cestus, the laggard! He forgot to remind me to double check that I did everything right!
Yeah. It's *his* fault. I feel better now. <yeah, i bet, boss>

<sigh>

Well, I uploaded the model to Cestus' project page and sent it to The Spirited Lass. So people can grab it until it gets updated on the Vault.

My deepest apologies!

Damn, Borden! You got the lighting on the holes *perfect*! Did you do the exterior ones dark but with a hint of interior?

And I like the tilt, too :-)

Just remember, it's "Holds" not "Bilges" :-)

Ever the pedant...

I thought about doing a beach view version for the views for shoreline wrecks but that would double the models. It's probably better done with placeables...
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Rolo Kipp]

               <not even *trying*...>

Jolly well right!

External view of the wreck should probably be a placeable... unless it's huge :-)

Either way, the "hole" should be self-illuminated and hint at the interior, don't you think?
Either way, I'm liking it :-)

               Bordon.. *grabby hands*
You rock.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Borden Haelven]

               The porthole views are just small flat circles with a screeny of LoWs sea tileset as a texture. easily replaced with a similar geometry placeable. Position might be awkward but a while tweaking it should narrow it down to "Dump it and set the X, Y co-ords".
Now I've actually created an interior I suppose could change the black hole in the exterior placeable to show a dark hint at what's inside. *Strokes beard thoughtfully*

PS I don't have a 'british' accent, I'm from LANCASHIRE!!! '>

               Well an' done.
Though me anims on the beasties are basic an' rough an' there's a twitch to tha legs in the pause thet bothers me some...

Nae the less, they behave properly - surrounding an' shredding this Hammerhead too stupid to flee:

               *Very VERY carefully pounces on the urchins.*  You spoil me Cestus.  *beaming*

Merge work is about done and I'm messing with the demo.

*sheepish look* I got so busy working on the 2010/2011 merge that I forgot to ask if any of the gurus out there could take a look at JFK's boat creature.  He got super busy and wasn't able to finish it.  He says the oars paddle too fast.  Guess this means I didn't hit my own file deadline.  *laughing*
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_TheSpiritedLass]

               I've gotten as far as I can on the hak and demo without some feedback from a few people.  Next chance I'll have to work on this will be Thursday.

               We're up to 8 pages talking about this theme?  Methinks people will be using a lot of this stuff in their modules/PWs.

               Rubies saved the day, adjusting the animations for JFK's boat.  =)

The last unexplored frontier, as Jaques Cousteau used to say :-)

It's amazing to me that there is only one (admittedly gorgeous) underwater tileset (that I know of) and that skinmeshed mermaids and sirens haven't flooded the Vault (I want to see some of the Starbuck's two-tailed sirens! =).

Back when we were planning the Gemworlds confederation, one of the PW worlds (Gemworld of Sapphire, forget the world-name) was set completely underwater. I was really looking forward to what he came up with. His concepts were intriguing and beautiful.

I even have a place for such things in Amethyst... ;-)
But, honestly, it will be years before I get to the fertile, shallow Western Sea and the ominous depths of the Eastern Sea. But I'd still like that *B Siren =)

Now who do we know that's really good with skinmesh and fishy-tails...*eyes Frith consideringly*
