Multiplayer 3d painting enviorment?

by Poler Not · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 11/28/2008 (10:44 am) · 3 replies

Whats your take?

my idea consist of users having the ability to paint on 3d models and have there work saved on the map

i wanted to make a game out of this like having a ranking system of most active users

also being able to use various tools like airbrush markers spray cans etc..

basicly a 3d graffiti enviorment to log in and battle for having the most graffiti works in the enviorment

Check out what Caligari has done with this concept. Though not a game, they've been trying to make trueSpace a multi-user experience for several years. It's a good place to start: www.caligari.com

Hmmm cant connect .... oh well .... i was thinking about starting this off as a fps ... then changing the weapons to the art tools and creating new properties and sounds

this is above ... "famous" painter on you tube

i need every single surface to be able to painted on .... mimicking properties of real art tools

things i can do are make the world the character and possibly the gui

but adding the ability to paint anything and have it automaticly saved into the world is where im not comfortable

hmmmmm......

Interesting, I just clicked the link and it came right up, maybe a routing issue stopping you from connecting or something. But anyway, yes, two of the features of trueSpace is 3D paint and collaborative multi-user usage. I found out that they just got bought by Microsoft as well, to support one of their applications (forget which), but that's a good sign, because now tS is free, and likely to stay that way.
