Walt Disney Theme Park BAT Team (WDTPBT) Thread!

[patriots_1228 51]

hey guys sorry for the double post but just thought you might want to no that windows live maps has disney world in birdseye. you can see the whole park pretty much. its like google earth but you can see a lot more in a higher quality. plus no downloads required! click the screenshot, then search Walt Disney World in landmarks. then select birdseye and enjoy!

about that walkway texture

option 1

option 2

option 3

option 4(my fave)

or should i still look? also, once I find the texture, wuts next. do i makea LE texture for it? or do we have the BATters BAT out the walkways and assign that texture.

[azninoverdrive 9]

Option 4, personally. All I can say about the castle, good luck, this has to be the most complicated render ever. One question though, are you trying for Florida or California?

About the lawyer thing. Whenever I drive thru Simtropolis, I see all sorts of copyrighted buildings and such, left to right. It shouldn't really be a problem. A brief history, there was this Donald Duck arcade ride some time ago, last century. Walt was still around. Anyhow, all of these rides were destroyed by Disney, because they felt infringement. Except for the one I found at this museum. Thats just one case. You know, Mickey Mouse wasn't actually origninally Disney's idea when he came up with the character. He was thinking about naming him Mortimier, which who today, is the rival rat, Mickey keeps facing for Minnie's love. The arguable case is when Walt's wife gave him the idea for the name Mickey from a old toy mouse, not Disney's creation, Mikey, with no c. Hey, I learned from Public Broadcasting.

Just checking in.. Seems like there's a deafening silence in this thread. sigh... College is kicking my butt as usual, and I'm still trying to finish up a Portland project. Is everyone else caught up with RLS too?

Once I get thru the middle of May and Midterms are over, I should be getting to work. I really want to get Horizons started ASAP.

[patriots_1228 51]

[ardecila 125]

Hey there! I posted several pages back that I would start Tower of Terror. So, here's my start.... I'm in the midst of AP studying right now, so I haven't worked on this for awhile, but I thought I should post something.

[kurtvedder 4]

@ardecila - I know the feeling, calculus was wednesday, German was thursday, and U.S. history was today (may 11th). I still have english next week.

BTW the tower looks really great.

[jacqulina 162]

wow the tower looks awesome so far

[patriots_1228 51]

Wow awesome tower! i dont no wut your feeling tho lol. I do have MCAS this week(Massachusetts Comphrehensive Assesement System, also called Massachusetts Child Abuse System), but ive never had more than 3 test a week, and i never have to study to do well (7th grade is so easy!)

Great work on that keep it up! what program are you using?

[ardecila 125]

SketchUp.

[swimasb 0]

Can you put sketchup models into SC4? I like Stetchup, but am not that good with the BAT tools.

[Glenni 1,447]

Yes you can!

Arcedila: You know what Counter strike is? ( i assume you do) , heh i downloaded a map for it, and it was a map of the tower of terror, of course it aint 100 % accurate, but it's awesome, And so is your's!

[swimasb 0]

How can you get models from Sketchup to the game

[ardecila 125]

Simple.  I bought the Pro version of SketchUp for a couple bucks, and it allows me to export to 3ds.

[GMT 389]

wow... put the pro version isnt just everybodys budget tool... afaik

[Creathir 3]

ardecila,

SketchUp Pro is $500... I would not consider that "a couple of bucks", though it is a LOT less expensive than 3D Studio Max.

[patriots_1228 51]

yea i hate sketchup though, i find BAT easier for some reason.

[Devil King 0]

Hope these help:

At day Expedition Everest

At night- maybe you could add some sound effects for it. it is quite loud. especially the screaming.

Big Thunder Mountain (A classic)

Grand Floridian Hotel & Spa

Test Track

Lights Motors Action Extreme Stunt Show

And adding Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon and Downtown Disney would be amazing. If you need any more pics, just tell me. Keep up the good work!

[Nomad1 53]

You guys have some really good ideas and grand beginings!   Looking forward to seeing some rides!

Good luck with this project!

Yeah....    I paid nowhere near that much. 

I also have 3dsmax, which I DID pay $300 for (education version).

[patriots_1228 51]

ill probably work on my project some more this weekend. been busy finishing up my NEBB project and some CJ updates so ive had to put that off.

[ardecila 125]

Originally posted by: mightygoose ardecila... did you get my PM??? and on topic you guys this is an awesome project.quote>

Yeah, I got it.  Unfortunately, I don't think I can help you out.  I barely have time to work on my BATs maybe once a week, so I couldn't do anything very quickly.  I mostly do historical styles anyway.

[CWLGAMER01 39]

Okay -- so how are things heading -- I see some great work! Everyone check in when you can!
