Anyone for a trip to mars?

Realized as i went over some stuff: If i can get a model broken down into a 2d template I can do some texture work on it especially if I can be given a texture to work with. I've used gimp to do some texture work for Second Life and didn't think of that till we were talking about a tattoo I made a friend till she mentioned everybody keeps complimenting her on it.

If you want to do some texturing maybe you could create a texture for Mars terrain? It's pretty much the most important texture for exterior environments.

 

Edit: Speaking of exterior environments, here's a few more WIP jungle shots, just to show the new plant meshes.

ARRRRGH!!

Where were all you guys when I was trying to make a "Mission to Masser" mod for Oblivion?

( there was a REASON Umbacano really wanted all of those statues, you see )

I wrote the whole thing out but couldn't get a lick of technical help. :(

Ah, well.. it looks like this is cooking good. Congrats and good luck.

That sounds like it would have been an awesome mod, unfortunately my oblivion modding days were limited to bad retextures. Did you have any ideas for that mod that might come in useful here by any chance? At this point the more ideas the better!

Making alien plants is so much fun :dance:

They look better in game with proper transparency and whatnot.

 

Also had an idea about the doom style F.E.V research facility and a theme that could just generally run through the story. Obviously the different factions on Mars want different things. What if the Enclave control the rocket launch/landing pad and are following orders to continue their work on Mars and not to attempt to return to Earth. There could be deserters who defected from the enclave and live elsewhere, who want to get home. These could be guys who became fed up with the rules and isolationalism, or maybe guys who became mutated/ghoulified and would have been executed if they hadn't escaped. The tech priest guys who worship the mainframe want the rocket to deliver a payload of G.E.C.K created spores into Mar's atmosphere to complete the Mainframe's holy work (terraforming Mars). However, this would (as evidenced by the Swampland) turn Mars into a vast jungle full of toxic spores, radioactive pools and hostile creatures. As for the F.E.V facility, one of the scientists could have been driven crazy by a relic found in the Martian ruins and turned himself into a powerful mutant. Claiming the relic speaks to him, he wants the rocket to return him and his mutant host to Earth so that he can unleash his modified version of the F.E.V. His version solves the problem of infertile subects, which would allow mutants to breed. However, it is also super potent and the mutants it creates have little to no thoughts other than paranoia, rage and hatred.

 

I had an idea about the Martian Ruins as well. I thought it'd be pretty atmospheric and creepy to have them completely deserted save for a few hovering "holograms". These would have no discernable shape, maybe being made up of lines or lights, or simply being a distortion in the air. They would issue echoing electronic sounds like voices. Their purpose and origin would be unfathomable and unknown, just like everything about the ruins. It sounds a bit lame the way I write it, but in my head it's creepy.. =P
