More Myst...
Mar. 21st, 2010 03:57 amSo I've recently got into Uru again (particularly Uru Live), and found out (probably for the second time) that people in the community are making fan Ages, mostly with a view towards the many-years-promised Open Source Uru Live edition.
(the source code for the client and game servers would be published, but the so-called "compiled artwork" would reside on a master server that game servers would use to server game files from)
It turns out that the primary 3D modelling tool used to create Ages is Blender.
(first thought: Hey maybe I can create an Age! Second thought: When would I have time?)
The forums for Uru Live have a section for Creativity, any kind of fan-created artwork themed around the Myst series.
Also available on the website is a gallery of concept artwork, some of which hasn't made it into the game yet.
There's probably more concept art available elsewhere, which seems to be rather interesting due to someone noticing how cool one of them would be to create, resulting in this thread about modelling a Guild Hall.
(the concept art in question can be found in this thread)
Even without textures, that is one cool-looking building!
