Chinese village modeling
Hello all,
First off, looking for something very similar to this:
Shenmue - now you don't have to read through my whole post!
But if this is something you're interested in, please read on.
I'm working on a demo for YAKE, an open-source real-time VR/Game engine with some nice features which I won't bore you with here, as well as further research into my degree. The demo is a flythrough of a chinese village in the mountains, with NPC's walking around in their daily lives based on various motivations.
The character's motivations are generated randomly each time, so the interactions that spring out of it are different each time.
My major is cognitive science, specializing in emergent-systems, so this is really an exercise in creating a cohesive large environment based off of rules for individuals and limited rules for interaction.
However, despite the amazing nature of yake and it's plugin based approach (I'm not a developer of it), one thing yake is deparately in need of is eye-candy, and I am hoping a demo of this nature attracts more to this Open-Source offering.
What's needed: Chinese characters in chinese clothes, various huts and small buildings, mountainside scenery, and some related items (fencing, wells perhaps, etc). The first picture in the post above really captures the mood and setting for this demo. However, the requirements can work around your abilities!
If you're interested, please let me know in what aspect.
Thank you all for your time!
Regards,
regress
