Making Plans for Nigel
Feb. 10th, 2011 01:20 pmThis is one of those posts. One of those 'projects I really need to finish, and other projects that I really want to start' posts. One of those posts that is mostly a reminder for myself, but comments and/or suggestions would be most welcome. :)1) Terrain and road replacements - I'm not quite happy with what I've got so far, which is a single texture for the whole of a terrain, when Maxis uses more than one (take the default desert terrain, for example). So, I'm going to see if I can somehow emulate the Maxis approach, although I'm not sure whether I'll be able to get the blending of the different textures to work. DONE!
2) Supernatural eye/skintone replacements - I've done a little more work on this, but still a way to go.
3) Multi-PT - hmmm, haven't even started this yet!
4) Three sets of picture and poster recolours, all on Maxis meshes/base-game versions of Maxis meshes (which I'm currently making):
a) New Orleans themed (I have a bit of a thing about New Orleans, despite never having been there, and my 'hood has a New Orleans inspired quarter that urgently needs some themed artwork);
b) various band posters (heavily skewed towards my own favourite bands, or those with particularly groovy artwork);c) pictures using some terrific old maps and astronomical diagrams that I found. DONE!
5) Some edits of fway's add-ons for the Maxis 'Old World' windows, to centre them in the middle of two tiles (wall-masks, eek!).
