Eldritch Posted October 19, 2002 Posted October 19, 2002 Just started this today... still finding textures and playing around, but this is just a start. http://www.msnusers.com/hogwartsWIP/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=1 I'm gonna need lots of help with textures... i'm no good at making them, so if anyone wants to help that would be VERY much appreciated.
Quotation Posted October 19, 2002 Posted October 19, 2002 Looks promising. How did you create the arches?
Eldritch Posted October 19, 2002 Author Posted October 19, 2002 They're just bevels that I played around with and put caps on. This map will eventually be huge, and there doesn't seem to be any existing textures that I can use - they just don't go with it. I have some reference pics but i'm gonna need more - a lot more. -Anakin
Quotation Posted October 19, 2002 Posted October 19, 2002 Thanks. I'm working on a similar concept with the map I'm working on.. I'll get you a few reference pictures... Google Image Search: Handy
Eldritch Posted October 19, 2002 Author Posted October 19, 2002 Thanks... i've already robbed Google blind of pics, LOL.
ZBomber Posted October 19, 2002 Posted October 19, 2002 I gave him the idea! I'll start looking for pics, and I'll TRY to get DVD pictures.

If you want to speed it up, grab me some reference pics. Whoever gets me a map of the actual floorplan of Hogwarts would be my God. I'm gonna go looking in bookstores and libraries to see if there's anything I can use as well. Still have no volunteers for help, with one or two exceptions. -Anakin
Chewie Bakker Posted October 20, 2002 Posted October 20, 2002 JEDI_Anakin_S: My girlfriend has a very large collection of Harry Potter images, including images of the original cathedrals they 'borrowed' the design from, other production shots, and even the banners/standards of the four houses. I can get some for you if you so wish. The Harry Potter Lexicon has a maps section that might be of use to you. My girlfriend recommends starting at this one. Good luck with the map. The Force will be with you, always.

Anakin you can contact me via e-mail (or through private message, whichever takes your fancy), and let me know what "volunteers" you're after.

I'm sending you a PM now about details, or you can check in the other thread for Help with the Hogwarts Map also. -Anakin
__CKY__ Posted October 20, 2002 Posted October 20, 2002 If I could I would take the extra thing where you tour around Hogwarts as a special feature on the DVD but I don't have the equipment but i'll still look for something.
Eldritch Posted October 20, 2002 Author Posted October 20, 2002 You only tour the Gryffindor Common Room and one of the bedrooms, and it's horribly blurry. If the rest of Hogwarts was mapped like that, i'd use it, but there are better sources of reference pics. -Anakin
Andy867 Posted October 20, 2002 Posted October 20, 2002 Hey Jedi_Anakin_S, just wanted to let you know that I made a post on the main site about your request for texture artists and a few good modelers. And I posted a link to the thread for people to check out the WIP.
Professor Snape Posted October 20, 2002 Posted October 20, 2002 yo dude this is awesome. I was wondering. Is tehre only the one pic or are there more?

Soon though.
Professor Snape Posted October 21, 2002 Posted October 21, 2002 aight thats fine. We need some harry potter models for this. I wanna be hagrid!
Eldritch Posted October 21, 2002 Author Posted October 21, 2002 Just uploaded a new picture, as i've started working on the Great Hall. I still have to make the tables longer, they're not quite long enough. -Anakin
Eldritch Posted October 21, 2002 Author Posted October 21, 2002 There's now a website for the Hogwarts WIP that the screenshots are on... here's the link Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
littledragoon Posted October 21, 2002 Posted October 21, 2002 This is gonna be awesome! And yes; we do need models to go along with it. I definately wanna be Hagrid. ~The Little Dragoon~ <>< "I am Spartan

Eldritch Posted October 22, 2002 Author Posted October 22, 2002 Site updated with pic number 3... it's an early build of one of the staircases. http://www.hogwarts-wip.tk
__CKY__ Posted October 22, 2002 Posted October 22, 2002 They all look really good dude see if i were to try that it would be a big block of black lol
Yugioh79 Posted October 22, 2002 Posted October 22, 2002 Can't you just find the textures used for the Harry Potter game for the pc? They could be deep inside some file just like all the skins are for Jk2. or are the textures to cartoonish? That would be the easy way out...
