GOLF - And they call it a mine! A MINE!

Ivalice

Hello ladies and gents, I have decided to make a par 4 or 5 inspired by the mining of gems and mithril.

I like dwarves.

Here is my inspo board. I have ranked the elements or things I want to take from each piece from top to bottom on the board.

So I am working on some fun mini golf block outs. As a kid in the day, I look back to myrtle beach and think, what did I love and enjoy.

Aerashi

Some nice ideas there I love verticality in levels. Have you thought about how the camera will act when you move down to the lower levels?

Ivalice

I will post an update tonight. Using the havoc example I am creating a U shaped stair case that will lead from the halls above to the cavern/forge below. =D

I have also been tinkering with adding another element just before the hole to make it a par 5 if you miss the hole in one opportunity.

Good start, I look forward to see how this progresses

Nice refs, I like the idea

A couple updates of the block out. Still moving things around and playing with sizes and shapes.

Hopefully if I get to a happy state with the layout I will make a pass at exaggerating the shapes to be more cartoony. Not there yet.

Need to pull the end out a bit more to give the hole more space on the bottom next to the forge area.

That blockout is looking awesome! Loving the forge area.

Get it gurrrrl! Your progress on this is great. Can't wait to see the texture work! Just curious, where do you plan on having those tracks on the right lead?

Wow, that's an incredibly cool idea! I love the idea of a mini golf course that has transitions like this, to other areas.

Here are my slim updates from the weekend.

Not to many, life getting in the way and all.

These updates do show where the tracks are heading anglorum.

This is looking really great. Excited to see this develop.

Ivalice

Started laying in some rough shapes for the cave wall. I wanted to see if this would even work as well as see what kinda of resolutions I can get a way with.

Got a long ways to go.

This looks really cool so far! I love how fleshed out and full the environment is. Your first texture is looking good so far too.

Ivalice

With two weeks to go, this will be close. I only get a couple hours a night on it, so I decided to try and get a working version in Vforge to see what errors I would run into. Really it hasn't been that bad. The course plays like it should with the teleports and what not.

Lighting still has me scratching my head, but I will figure that out as I keep working on the textures and polish side of thing.

I hope...

If you have any specific questions about lighting feel free to ask or pm me.
Looking cool so far!

Allo again ladies and gents.

I have here a few small updates from last week I haven't shown due to my graphics card going kaboom on saturday. It has brought me to a bit of a stand still but I plan to paint textures over the next few days while waiting for the new card to arrive.

Please ignore the tan ground texture, this was a test shot looking at resolution. I plan to do something similar but not so arid looking.

Cheers.

One of the biggest changes, I added a horn mouthpiece blockout to the top representing the beginning of what could be a fun ball drop. If you split the d, you're ball travels down and out the horn at the bottom. If you can hit this in one shot, it's a hole in one! If you can not, it will just give you a lower stroke number for sure.

Lunch Horn.


Some other wips. (about 3 or 4 days word old.)

Ivalice

A couple more updates while I am still waiting for my new card taken from max.

Redid a few textures and have been pushing and pulling some forums.

And the final wrap up post.
