BRAVE Update - London 1
by Andy Hawkins · 04/09/2008 (9:06 am) · 4 comments
I made some good progress today. I've grabbed some medium rez sat map images from Google Maps and created an aerial photo of London. I grided it up to work out which areas to snap and after I had low rez tiles I zoomed in the google maps and was able to grab higher rez images, scale up the lores ones and paste over. This will provide an excellent reference in-game as I world build. I think I have to pay for the use of the satellite images if it goes commercial. So I'm going to look into the cost. Otherwise I'll have to do a paint over.
Then I've tested a bunch of shape replicators on a flat plane with the aerial map attached for some speed tests.
Here's some pics. I'll add a video to this tomorrow when I can grab a sequence using my faster computer, but right now the frame rate is very high.
