Airbørn

[Neox]

Finally!

we did it, a version is uploaded to MSUC, just a few more fixes and we gonna release a public version too.


For those of you, who don't know the project. Airbørn is a mod for Unreal Tournament 3, which a few of my colleagues and me have been working on for quite some time now.

As opposed to most UT3 mods, this is a total conversion, which means that we almost killed everything that is unreal, and created a whole new look that hopefully doesn't look like unreal at all. Who we are? A group of professional game developers, who wanted to do something cool in our free time, because of that the development takes ages, but it's worth it.

Airbørn takes place in a fantastic world, eons after the earth has collapsed from over exploitation. Strangely, the world didn't end, life went on and somehow the people of this world managed to survive and live in a peacefull manner. Well if there wouldn't be kings that still exploit the ressources of the last islands and take even the last bits of usable sources for their good.

We place the player in that world, as Piño a small boy who wants to be a messenger just like his father was. In time he experiences a lot of adventures. Ok lets stop the text and let the images speak!

and why is this on zbc? because most of the sculpting stuff for the normalmaps has been done in zbrush, of course, if you are interested i'm gonna post the sculpts and stuff like that

[marcus_civis]

These are wonderful. I think a lot of people would like to see some ZBrush renders.

[aurick]

It would be really nice to see some ZBrush screens, for sure!

[rbarton]

This is awesome! Has a Steam Boy feel to it; Very COOL

zbrush renders would be cool to see.

[abe_Tamazir]

awesome work guys! that's the kind of stuff i would love to be involved in

I second for the sculpt request

[Neox]

@rbarton: that is is a pretty big compliment to me, steamboy was THE initial inspiration to start that stuff with this lil guy here

@abe: damn i loved your lion, well i still love it!



oh man it has changed quite a bit since then

thanks to all the others, your word is my command, some of the models that have been done in zBrush

lets start with the redesign of Piño


and his grandpa Alphonso


tokachu, a fat ratlike critter living around human settlements


the airwhale, it has a giant gasbubble in his tummy he needs to eat heavy stuff like rocks that it can't digest to keep the mass center low to prevent it from turning around in flight. it can buil up gas and also blow it out to sink


a seagull, does what a seagull does, fly and place **** around the harbour, the first quest is settled around these nasty things


One of the evil guys, a scout of the royal army, thin fast guy which will have his own personal jet to scout in front of larger ships, cannot be beaten by pogostick, you'll have to fight him in ranged combat



and some vessels, bumps and rivets have been placed in zbrush

[abe_Tamazir]

really nice sculpts!is it a matcap on the whale?it's pretty cool, if you dotn mind, could you tell us wich one is it?looks very similar to the oter but with a red sheen to it...

No ingame vids yet? i know i know, we always want everything now

Awesome work Neox, Love the overall mood/style .

[Neox]

thanks again: abe its a micture of several matcaps which i layered together in photoshop, i also layered in a blurry shape of a shipt it ate afterwards, so its not totally zbrush, sometimes i'm just doing some postwork to work an idea
