Fallon-Nevada Theater discussion
-
You can pretty clearly see where the photoreal ends and basic tiling begins. Can we alter those generic sand tiles into something that doesn’t show the repeating nature of the tile? Just a plain brown might be the way to go.
Please note that tiling on this shot was early WIP and was generic (1 type of desert tile) only for the purpose of starting process what we call now “supersomething”.
Substitutions and repetition breakers, were ready even then, but process of theater building stopped at that moment. I really was hoping that since we would make some advances in terrain editing (better road and river system, maybe more tile sets, some type of drag and fill tool in the editor). But alas… we are here and we should be grateful for what we have.
Yet, honestly, there was something I did never like in the way that theater was construed and that was the main reason I moved to Korea, which in my opinion was/is the best terrain editing work in Falcon ever.
PS. Please realize that tiles alone would not make the theater looking good. There is 50% of goodness in how the theater is build and edited before the tiles are in. Unless that 100% photoreal, which is as we know difficult to accomplished and controversial.

Understand all, Ted. I spoke with Dave on the phone this morning and I think we’re on the same page. We’re focusing a lot on appearance right now, but I think we all agree that the fundamental gameplay is the most important thing. The gameplay aspect is what drove me to the 16-32 segment theater discussion in the first place (which looks terrible but is good for gameplay).
We’re actually pretty close with this theater if we can get everyone together. Several folks have been working on this independently. The key is to get everyone together so we can consolidate our individual efforts into a cohesive single product. Let’s see what happens next.
