Memorial Stage...?

**-Elite_Ken-** · 09-13-2011, 06:48 PM

So let me begin by saying "I am not a GFX Person!"
..but, I did want to make this stage, but didn't have time until today...not really have time..but i squeezed in time.

I wanted to make a 9/11 Memorial stage...It's not to good but it was the though.

^^EDITED VERSION! [2.0]

Now I wonder if there is any Elite willing to let me test how this would look in the game.

[Note:] If any GFX wants to make a better looking one...please go ahead

**donkios** · 09-13-2011, 07:19 PM

Yeah... this would look pretty bad in-game.

Good try though.

xfaderx · 09-13-2011, 08:00 PM

I don't mind the stage, but I would put the graphic from the middle on the building onthe right and adjust the angle to make it look like its part of the building...

I definitely encourage all stage building... there's simply not enough of it going on anymore!

Do not use photo-realistic images (exactly what you have). This was one of the rules when we first started level design. Do not ask an EVip to add the level until you fix this. (Perhaps find renders of the towers, or artist renditions, or create your own. But no photo-realistic images. Even if you see some EVip's using them already.)

Thanks, note taken. Am going to re-do this when i got the time

Thanks guy for awesome honest feedback.

There is a way to Cartoon-i-fy it a bit. If you have PS try using the Surface Blur. & Various other things to make it look less realistic and more "comic-Like" If you have the PDS of this I would "TRY" to fix it up and make it suitable for the game.

**-Elite_Ken-** · 09-14-2011, 03:10 PM

I re did it.

Looks alot better now. Sadface @ the all black buildings though, I would've gave them some light to complement the sunset.

xfaderx · 09-14-2011, 08:00 PM

its a cool idea... i might have a go at some stage later too.

Yeah some pro's on this Idea would be awesome

, But fade...is it possible u can make me have this stage for testing for like a day..or an hour? I really want to see it in an "in game preview". Or any one really.

**TitaniumFist** · 09-15-2011, 08:24 AM

Graphically, this will work in the game. However, it now resembles a reenactment of 9/11 instead of a memorial. For that reason, it is not appropriate.

Please try again.

kk, Ill do some more editing on this later today when I make it home.

Thanks.

If this is their first time doing any sort of gfx related material what your all saying isn't gonna make sense to him/her.

As far as the stages goes, having the airplane look like it was going to crash is a NO NO.

A Memorial stage for this would best suit if you did something with a NY theme that doesn't involve tragedy.

Where gfx takes part, have a look at some examples and implement your own ideas.

T-fist gave some great advice.

Hopefully this helps. =)

**(-PakistaN-)** · 09-15-2011, 12:27 PM

Yeah, why the heck did you put the plane there? Maybe just put the towers, and bring out their detail and colour. But, as you say, your not a GFX person, so do what you can

**-Elite_Ken-** · 09-18-2011, 05:37 PM

Ok, I added two New quick versions. [On First Page.]

LuXv · 09-18-2011, 07:25 PM

its okay, you should have just use the "NYC" stage ground, or the "Roof-Tops" stage ground instead of this ground. Also make the clouds/sky blue/white. It looks to ominous.

xfaderx · 09-18-2011, 07:58 PM

it would look much nicer with a full nightime skyline, rather than just the whole black... i was looking for some building to use but its hard to find any

**-Elite_Ken-** · 09-18-2011, 08:56 PM

1. The NYC Background was too small...so it would be too pixelized...it was my first choice.

2. the Roof Tops seemed to colorfull...I actually did want a dark theme.

3. Its hard to find some SFO possible full set buildings..[Unless I cartoonized them]...so I went with the whole silhouette thing.

Over All...I think I did alright since am bad at this stuff lol. [Pat on the Back] <- haha

SSJKarma · 09-18-2011, 10:12 PM

on the contrary i think photo realistic images can easily be used in this game...
after all the SNK stages do look good.

but its easy to cartoonise them.
colorise them, change their color settings a bit and add that stroke effect on their edges.

the actual black building is without real point, looking less good then optimal, if you would create your own "lighted" window in them and make some kind of random alignmement, then it would look better, then there is the gradient from black to say dark blue that would make the building look more alive.

think i'll take a shot at modifying the existing one and try to make it more alive.
