Im not too familiar with FormZ, is there a web pluggin for that to display its content in realtime 3d? Or is this all going to be converted to video and just be navigated via normal web navigation?

lol tsk tsk tsk

ok, so when you say “really for real” I assume its a fake 3D world but in real 3D and not a real world in _fake_ … 3D (if that makes sense)?

Do you have a flow chart of progression? Or areas of interest? In terms of qtvr you’re gonna have certain points of vision which would then have methods of further navigation but at the same time should each be in someway otherwise fairly aesthetically pleasing or inherintly important to conveyed emotional/narrative tone.

Also, whats the point of it again? commercial? entertainment (game)?

yep, really for real = tiredspeak for fake world in real 3d…

the point is just a thing for school, so we could learn the methods, but me being me, has decided to expand that idea and tie it into a concept i’m working on with some other people on, that being a new RPG. so basically, it’s entertainment, but with a partial commercial aspect (to promo the new game).

no flowchart, no nothing. just a brainstorm i came up with tonight. all i have so far is this girl. basically, later today i am going to develop a 3d tavern, just plain old reeking of your typical medievel RPG, and that will be the setting. this will give me some time to think about the actual content, cuz as of this minute, i got nothing. lol :beam:

Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind… another RPG, it’s supposed to be cool as anything cuz you can build your own game really… it comes with an editor, and you can make stuff, and characters and stuff… (not like you can’t do that with a lot of games) hehe

are there any particular methods you need to show off learning in the project? you could tie things into them and build off what they are and what they can do.
