Welcome to my topic. Chris Roupe suggested I start a new topic so I did <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/jackhat.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":j2" border="0" alt="jackhat.gif" />
this topic is mainly about creating a Maelstrom for the game, but feel free to talk about anything to do with PoTC.


Here are all of the modifications to the pearl not including the lantern.

I was bored last night so I made some Maelstrom 3D art using my altered Black Pearl. Please take into account that this was done at 10 o’clock last night so it’s at a basic design stage, I will improve it later. By the way, can you add textures in Maya? I only ask because the colours I’ve used are quite basic. I made the Maelstrom by taking a cylinder and took off all of the polygons except the top, made it much bigger and indented it in the middle. I then applied colour.

This may sound INCREDABLY silly but if I made an Inspector gadget model for pirates could some one configure it for me? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/readon.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="readon.gif" />
 
looks kinda cool. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" /> but how about making a circle first, and then adding arcs below it as ribs. then fill the spaces between the ribs to create a mealstrom-shaped cone which increases in incline on the way down.
 
I did try to do that but it was late and I've only just started on Maya, after about 45 minutes of trying I gave up for the night and used the method that I did. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
I'll probably have another go at it but probably not before friday because I've got college.
I'm might to make an animation from it if I can.
 
All 3D models in the game were made with Maya, so I dare say Maya can indeed do textures. How I do not know though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_confused.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="icon_confused.gif" />

As for a maelstrom: It's not making the model that's the hard part. The problem is figuring out a way to get it working in the game even with all the limitations in the game engine. I can think of no way to do it and I think it cannot be done. I have been proven wrong in the past though (DirectSail mod!), so I'm not saying it ISN'T possible. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/user_comment.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="user_comment.gif" />

Provided somebody figures out how to make character models from scratch and put them in the game with proper animation. I don't think anyone knows how to. Perhaps Chris. But he uses 3DS MAX.
 
Well, I just got this perfect idea <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

I saw that some one is making a Jack sparrow story mod, And I just got this idea: You start witch wicked wench, Youdo some small transport to some islands with some cargo,

Now you the trading company try catch you, YOu can make some fight's but last ship sink the pearl, You come in prison and then you escape,

Now you sail with some Fleut and the dutchman come up in midle of nowhere and He is goind to Steal all ur good's and kill every one and the u sai parlay and you talk to him about a lot of shit <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blah:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> He wan't you to give him 500 souls but you can't. You go to tortuga and get that many people and now as you talk to jones he will ask you if there is anything he can do for you... NOw you say: raise the pearl <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

You sail for 2 years plundering ships and fort's

And then you get a muteny and Barbosa sail away with your ship, Now you go and get the interceptor and try find the pearl <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> and when you get it, it's The Broken verson (bonjourmonami's) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
In reference to Chris's above post.
Thats kinda what's been done/ underway from what I understand.
You should read through that thread about making Jack's story, although I'm not sure exactly where it is at the moment.
 
We already HAVE such a story. Not quite the same, but we do have the deal with Davy Jones and Barbossa's mutiny. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

I have to disagree with you on the broken pearl front Chris, you should only HAVE to have the broken Pearl in an At world's end quest.
 
in regards to my damaged pearl, I only have a few more faces to make for the railings so it should be ready for use soon. If razor reads this could I please have a copy of the Pearl's texture from the "newPearl" please? if you have a copy of it that doesn't have any erased pieces on it.
Also shall I try to make a deck for the Pearl as well for when you're walking around on the deck and can talk to the crew?
 
What textures do you need? The attached ones? They're the textures of the undamaged Pearl by Kazeite.
If you could make a black retexture of one of the big ship decks for use with the Black Pearl, that would be most welcome. Thomas the Terror made the Black Pearl cabin (see <a href="http://piratesahoy.net/potc/Thomas%20the%20Terror%20files/Black%20Pearl%20Cabin.zip" target="_blank">here</a>), but we don't have a custom deck yet. Would be cool. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Sory, it will take longer time to get it on the FTP, I just got problem's with the onverting and i will talk to bonjourmonami
 
looks good, maybe as the movie pearl look like but yeah, nice.. (just want to give you the information that you have to make UV maps for this... that will not be easy <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
can you send a screenshot when you have the pearl in it?

( i want to see all GM program not just the model)
