[RELz] Ministry of Truth: Baar Dau

Submitted by Ravanna on

Can we confirm we're happy with this Ministry of Truth moon? I added extra shards of rock running behind it to creating the illusion of trajectory.
The blue effect in the 2nd image is to suggest the ring FX that happy could add to the bottom.

Will use a 4096 or 2048 texture.
3 LODS , reserved 1 LOD per world atlas

Waiting for the OK before creating low poly model, which should be around 20,000 tris

I'm going to change my name to jubilantchappy in respect.

I'm pretty keen to have it either rotating slightly, 1 turn every 5 min say. Not sure if that is lore breaking at all? The other one was to actually have it orbit the high fane, so you really look up and go "what the f*ck is that!!"

Having it rotating would be fairly lore-breaking. The thing with Baar Dau is that it's completely frozen in time, to the point where it even retains its momentum from before it was frozen (when it was finally loosed, it hit Vivec with the full force it originally had and thus caused Red Year). Having it rotate goes against the whole thing.

Ok cool, frozen it is.

The sort of approach we have is that lod1-2 will be part of the altas and lod0 is a tilable texture. So don't worry about baking textures at the first lod level.

It would be cool if the shards rotated around it :P

No I agree with everything being frozen in time, (but I do think rotating would look amazeballs) , on the other hand I REALLY like the idea of a magical effect like a pulsating shockwave or something "holding it up"

rotating would be cool, but would break the "trajectory look" as well as the lore.
also much harder to get to.
If u also wish to have a Tel Mithryn style elevator, it needs to stay put.
Not working on this until eloths vivec is close to finished
