imlegos Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Hello, this is the new topic I've created to talk about a theme i thought of based on the Portal games. Feel free to post some ideas of what i should do with it in here. Mini Intelligence Incinerators for trash cans (Empty = P1, Vandalized = P2, full = ???) Animated portals (doors) for small tracks and Junior Still portal wall for Zero Clearance onto paths and large tracks (Both portals are color able, for easily making basic, Atlas, or P-Body portals)
Wuis Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 All the kind of turrets as scenery, companion cube as scenery. office windows walls, black surface wall, white walls for portals...ehm we could go on for ages! But cool idea.
imlegos Posted May 10, 2016 Author Posted May 10, 2016 Too bad the NED object designer thing isin't working for me.

imlegos Posted May 11, 2016 Author Posted May 11, 2016 I'd primarily start with reconstructed Aperture (Portal 2 main design) and maybe add some run-down and old objects after i finish the main set. If it worked.
imlegos Posted July 26, 2016 Author Posted July 26, 2016 Like I said, I don't quite have the ability to do it. If I did I would totally start it.
SensualEthiopianPolice Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Your inspiration, I assume: http://i.imgur.com/ttcQJwI.gifv 1
imlegos Posted July 26, 2016 Author Posted July 26, 2016 No, there was no inspiration I just thought that "The Aperture Science High Speed Amusement Test" would be a cool idea.
YoloSweggLord Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) You have got to be kidding me... did you just put the Aperture Science Edgeless Safety Weighted Merry-Go-Round onto the Aperture Science Ride Mode We-Don't-Know-What-It-Does and open it without testing?

This is Aperture Science Laboratories. Opening it IS testing.
imlegos Posted December 20, 2016 Author Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) . . . I really need to figure out how to get that scenery tool to work. And then find a good, probably free, program to model with, if that's necessary. Edited December 20, 2016 by imlegos
YoloSweggLord Posted December 20, 2016 Posted December 20, 2016 Simon Foster (the graphic designer of RCT 1&2) used Autodesk 3D Studio Max, but that's probably too expensive for you.
imlegos Posted December 20, 2016 Author Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) I don't have money to spend on anything. So, preferably a free 3d modeling program. Also, I know who Simon Foster is, I'm pretty sure anyone with even a little interest in making custom content knows who he is. Edited December 20, 2016 by imlegos
Broxzier Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 @YoloSweggLord I've never head of Simon Foster using 3ds Max before, where did you get that from? At this page it clearly states he's used different software: http://www.chrissawyergames.com/faq3.htm

Broxzier Posted December 21, 2016 Posted December 21, 2016 That's a nice video too, I almost completely forgot about that Photoshop feature.
Tune Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 A portal theme sounds really fun. Imagine building test chambers and having guests and rides going through them. I do have some experience in graphical design so I'd love to help out. It's been a while since I used 3d modeling though, but isn't it also possible to create scenery by making sprites?
X7123M3-256 Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 3 hours ago, Tune said: but isn't it also possible to create scenery by making sprites? Yes. The ease of doing so depends on the object you want to create. Small scenery and walls are often drawn by hand, large scenery or animated scenery might be a bit harder. Getting the different view angles consistent with each other may be difficult if your geometry is complex, even if you only need a few images. 1
imlegos Posted January 27, 2017 Author Posted January 27, 2017 Guess I sorta forgot about this, maybe I'll try and see if I can get the object creator running again...
Broxzier Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 In case anyone needs it: RCT2objectEditorTest123d.exe 1
Tune Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Well I tried making a Portal turret in RCT, but it still looks pretty ugly. I used the Half-Life Model Viewer to open the turret model and then made a screenshot of the right angles and converted those into bmp files with Photoshop. I'm not sure what the best way is to safe the file in Photoshop so importing it into the ObjectEditor won't ruin it by compressing it. 2 1
