               Heh, reminds me of old convo's about Orrerys :

'Posted

Stonemonkey's Orrery (mdl)

Tseramed's Giant Orrery (code)


As far as clocks go, i could see a few different routes.... (time based scripting required)

#1: A blank clock face, with animated hands as part of the mdl...

#2: A set of different clock models for each hour, with appearance changes as needed...

#3: A clock with VFX for the hands (seemingly the "optimal" soloution)

#4: a Clock placable, with seperate hand placables

#5: Something using the oldtimeradio animated textures technique (at least for seconds)

#6: A 70's tech alarm clock, with moving odometer wheels/dropping panels

'Posted

#7: some sort of pendulum

'Posted

#8: a panoramic clock, based on a day/night wheel, or a belt of a seamless scene...

'Posted

#9 : Time Candles

'Posted

#10: Water Clocks

#11: Swiss Coo Coo Clocks (@radio these are the kind were the wife chases the husband with a rolling-pin, lol)

'Posted

#12: Good God its late, OTR is right...

               There is a Steampunk ring or two in the latest compilation I threw together '<img'>  Of course if the vault would update regularly the rings would get more exposure as well.

               How about a clock face placeable. Think oc cobble circular stone that makes a face more three dimensional by adding depth. This could be added to any building including the vanilla wizards tower.

Kinda like the gear on the front yeah '<img'>

For this one i just did it super basic, tho im thinking of a copper lightning rod at top, and for trim, and more tapering as you suggested... 

(first draft looked more like Big Ben, but got deleted by accident, lol)

Lots of cool concept art here: Clocktower Images, Antique clock face Images

Fave clockface is St. Marks in Venice Italy, by good ol' Leo DaVinci (an awesome artist, builder, designer and wargamer '<img'>)



A 24 hour clock BTW '<img'>



Seriously tempted to have a pop at this... I think using different time settings in PWs would be a problem though. What's the most common 2 or 3 mins / Hr?

               I've been busy moving to a new house this month, so haven't had time to make anything yet.  Hopefully I'll get time before September 1st.

This must be a busy month for others, too.  We're half way through, and not much word on what people might be making.  Lots of suggestions though.

What I've noticed so far: status

Oh, and I corrected the link to the poll for September's theme in the initial post in this thread.  Turns out I still had August's URL in there.

I got informed by Carcerian that content can be freely submitted without deadlines anymore, or is that incorrect information?

Still good to make up a deadline anyways for yourself, even if there isn't one! :happy:

There is still a deadline each month for submissions.  New content that matches a previous challenge is accepted later, but getting it added to the Vault entry with the other content for that month seems to be generally put off for a time (ie, whenever the compiler person gets around to it).

Rolo Kipp was the person in charge of doing that, but nobody has heard from him in quite some time, so I've added it to my list of things to do on the side.  Hence, the change in submission email address, since I don't have access to the regular CCC gmail account.

               To be a bit clearer hopefully (still trying to find Rolo's orig post regarding the policy change/clarification)

At the end of the month, the challenge content gets submitted to the Vault as normal.

Content submitted after the deadline is considered a "2.0" update, and at the end of the year was to be compiled as part of an annual add-on.

The reason for this (at least as far as  i understood) is so that later entries are allowed, but not forcing the custom content manager to recompile each hak/collection every time, and allowing those builders using the original custom content collections to not have to update haks constantly, but instead still having the option to update later if desired.

               So... how's this theme coming along? It's pretty quiet.

               I'm still plugging away but I blew a bunch of time on a couple of things that just didn't pan out.  So I'm changing my approach to something a bit simpler.  I probably won't have screenshots until I get a few pieces made.  But I'm definitely still working on the theme.

               I thought this might be more fitting for the theme than the clocks...
