Started work on Bodhi's "bed":

That's the animated placeable sarcophagus from the Lower Tombs there. I'm not sure if we want to use that or not, but presumably there will need to be a cutscene in module 4 (?) with whatever ends up there.

Yes Darth:) Awesome! We should plan ahead as much as possible with regards to levels that have things moving or different for later modules.

Wow, almost 3 months since I last posted an update. I've been busy working on work-related stuff (gotta pay the bills), but hopefully I should be able to sneak some more time in up to and over the Xmas/New Year period.

Anyway, time to tackle the elephant in the room. As I have seemingly been abandoned by more talented modellers, I guess I'm stuck dealing with the bloody spider's nest. Not sure yet what I'm going to do for the actual nest itself, but I have a plan for the pathways around it. I'm not sure if this was the original artist's intention or not, but it seems to me like the webs are actually just covering up a pre-existing pathway, and spanning broken sections of it. That's what I am going to go for anyway, so it won't be anywhere near as webby as the original. I've started to rough in the shape:

The missing sections will be bridged by webbing. With a bit of alpha transparency, that should make for some nice vertigo, at least from the over-the-shoulder camera.

Thinking of something like this to explain a walkway floating in mid-air:

Does look a bit weird though when the ceiling is cut away. Might have to add some vertical support pillars or something.

Very nice! Looking impressive

Scruples has contributed a very nice addition to Bodhi's Lair - the long awaited spider's nest! I think you'll agree the result is great:




I guess this means I don't have any excuses to avoid finishing this level now.
