Kraken Washed up on beach

[zodiac125]

I feel a bit like im taking on to much here but firstly to make it easier to organize does anyone know what the name of the island is that they find the kraken washed up on the beach?

Anyway im going to make the island from POTC AWE where the kraken is washed up on the beach one with the kraken there and one without it being me i always have to have reference for this kind of thing so i loaded up the film and took a snapshot its hard to make out but the kraken is like a squid but with a whales tail sticking out its head anyway i have never tried making a island for POTC before and i assume i must have 2 models: 1 for the view from the sailing map and another for when your character is actualy on the island im planning on only having 1 zone on it which is the beach with the path up to the spring and thats it.

I have never made a island for POTC before and have no idea how to do it if anyone knows which im sure they do give me a hand please <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Nobody here knows much about putting completely new models into the game. Some work was done with ships, but that was far from being perfect. We never managed characters or locations or anything of the sort.

Hopefully the tools that Akella sent us earlier this year for Maya 5.0 as well as the HelpFiles they sent us yesterday will FINALLY get us on track as far as that is concerned. THEY can do it with these tools and HelpFiles, so we should be able to too. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

maybe a modification of shore_ship but instead of a ship put in the kraken?

That'd probably easiest and should be fairly do-able. Though you can also install Maya 5.0 and the Akella tools and see what you can do with those new HelpFiles. That might allow you to make a 100% new character model or location model and put it in the game in the exact same way that Akella and seaward.ru would do as well. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

Helpfiles?! Seriously? So now we should soon be able to get completely new models ingame, shouldn't we?

Indeed we should. We've got Maya 5.0, we've got the export plugin and Akella's tools and we've got help files. Now all we need is somebody to actually make it work! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
