Maybe I'm late to this, but what about a "Polycount Fortress" for some form of a 3D chatroom? I know there's Minecraft, but I'm sure it would be fun to do something all our own. We could build our own little 3D community in 3D space!
my favourite PC collab was the polycount town where you had interchangable plots.. maybe it'd be cool to do one of those pixel art towers ( http://www.mrwong.de/myhouse/ ) except in 3d.. just provide the floor/ceiling template and let people go nuts, then compile em for an animation
May I suggest changing the title then since the original idea has evolved into this? I can only speak for myself, but interactivity is what separates us from film 3d. If interactivity is a secondary or third concern then.... PS I know you have some ideas Adam if you went with interactive. We saw that demo game you made...…
If you make anything visually appealing the audience is: anyone. If that's not enough for you to want to participate in a fun 3D art project, then don't enter. that's like asking who the audience is for the 8-bit tower I've linked to. It's open to anyone who thinks that sort of thing is cool. If I worried about the…
I don't know if this had been addressed with the tower. So I will ask. Who is the audience? From what I see described, its not so much a game or mod as a 3d environment with characters made by a variety of people. Other than fellow artists. Whats to draw Joe Shmoe into wanting to go through the tower? To me, at this point…
I really don't think doing a "Polycount Office/Tower" would be all too difficult. The main structure of the building would be modular (hallways, floors, ceilings) which would allow easy expansion. Each participant would be given a pre-built mesh of a room or office and a set of specs (tri-count, texture limit). They are…
Ok, another super dreamy/wacky idea: ok, so picture Mario's Time Machine. So the same idea of having a basic shell still applies, and you can go into other peoples "rooms" whatever they may be. Doesn't have to be some 3d showroom or anything, just have doors on a wall, or whatever thing you can think of. Each room would…
Could always take some existing game's released source code and make a from-scratch pak for it!!! omg. The opportunities: Hexen Quake2 (could become a new scifi shit shooter more spacemariney than ever, with heavy blue/gray/purple emphasis and heavy aliens/starcraft influence) Quake3 (*COUGH*openarena*COUGH* the only time…
