New World map for WTP Options

[Sir-Kill]

here is the final render of the world map v. 1

Click here for homepage click the 'View Large World Map' link to see a bigger image but you will either have to play the game or mod for wtp to see all the details that I have put in there

Some stats:
rendered in 3ds max7 w/o any post work
psp8 to create the textures
full image 8000x6336
Mos size 61.9mb
vertex count 36781
poly count 32999
triangle count 72660
texture/maps used 179
different elements 34
rendering time about 1 1/2 hrs.
start/end time Mar 17 2006 - Dec 6 2006
263 days worked, conservative estimate hours worked per day 5 = 1315 hrs

Crazy or dedicated??

this has been a learning experience for me. There has been 2 versions created but half way through the first I had to start over since my computer is a hunk of junk and I created too many polys for this computer to handle thus the restart.

The only problem I had with the full size map is that it takes ages to scroll around the map. I know pushing the edge of the screen moves a bit quicker but still...there is a lot of map!

The other option would be to reduce the existing icons by...50%? This is fairly easy to do in BamWorkshop, 30 seconds work really.

The existing icons will only be a small number of the planned icons. We are hoping for in the region of 50 for our initial release, hopefully not using any of the original ones for the area's in that release.

Of course any other idea's are welcomed.
