Hehe, only about 10 are needed Problem with texturing is you can never really get it right. So if I make the entire file about 10 to 15 images, could you colour them? They actually look fine as they are, so if you can't be bothered... They fit in pretty well, actually.

you can send me them as a .C16 and I'll give it a try... if it doesn't turn out well, we'll use them as they are. Anyway, I want to take a peek on the images just for fun in any case =) if you want to send it by e-mail...; ahlafors_anna@hotmail.com ... ... Is there anyone else that are going to join this prodject? It feels like we are developing *very* slowly, and that it's only you and I left

I have a coder weho's going to help me if I do some 3d modelling for him, so he should be able to code some stuff. Its mostly images that we need at the moment though. I can't really think of anyone who could come to either of our standards except Kim or Moe, and both are doing other stuff at the moment. Which reminds me, I need to get that model of that critter off of Kim

Which also reminds me, would anyone like me to model a norn breed or something for the Biodome? I'm quite happy to have a crack at it as well as the scenery, which I still need the concepts for *grins and pokes Anna*

*Gasp*, no make it a grendel breed, please! -^_^- ... ... Sorry, ones gotto try ^^; I only breed grendels, but i add in some norn sprites that may fit in (like toxic and treehugger norns) to add some variety as there are few grendel breeds that have all lifestages and that "fits" toghter with each other. (btw, are you good with .atts? I've made male sprites and going to do lifestages for the boney grendels, but i'm just too lazy to put them togheter... mathematics is not my thing ^^; ) Anywhos... I've been thinking, maybe we could/should reduce the size of the biodome? it's huge right now... I've learnt alot with photo shop as well, and how to fake "3D" better, so I've been thinking about redo most of it... to increase the cuality. If we reduced the size a little, i think it all over would get a more detailed look and I would be able to do it faster. But i'll draw some wished backgroud materia for me to work with and post em' tomorow or something. Are we still planning to make changeble enviroment or should we just stick to one? I'm quite confused about this prodject right now, what are our plans? I'll post a suggestion for another layout too... It seams like its just we two here right now... how about start to make contact trough e-mail instead? I log in there every day, but I don't always have time to drop by here... ahlafors_anna@hotmail.com

You haven't got the c16 because I haven't sent it yet I've been on camp for a week, so no access to computer or internet, so I wasn't able to do anything. About the new layout thing, I think its a great idea. I think we should keep the changeable backgrounds ecologies, because 1: It is a great idea, 2: because it will be MUCH easier with the new layout, and 3: because people quickly get sick of metarooms with a single theme. Basically, I'll do critters, plants, and some background items in 3d, and if you do the background and continue doing concepts that'd be GREAT I'm so happy this project is going again. I think e-mail would be a good idea as well Anna, so I'll e-mail you with the current critters/plants that are done (not many at all ) when I can I have a coder helping me now, and I'm going to have a look around for another imager. Its mostly coding we need help with, you and I can handle graphics by ourselves as we've done before

Ah, I see. I Started to get worried that you might didn't have muh intrest in the prodject anylonger... Anyways... I still think that the cave part of the dome should be an set ecosystem, while the ones in the dome can be changeble. Once you sent me the done images, I'll start to figure out new ecosystems that are slightly smaller then the ones we currently got. (one might include about 6 critters/plants) Have you any ideas what eco systems we want? I think we should have a standard one, "the biodome-ecosystem", wich doesn't really have any counterpart on earth. I don't have your e-mail, so it would be good if you could e-mail me first I've posted the ones that i "use"

Having the dome as the changeable part seems like a good idea to me. I'll get started on those bits of the scenery now then, and I'll email you with the results of the first one I do BTW, my email is liam.esler@gmail.com Types of eco-systems.... Well, underwater, jungle/rainforest, desert...umm... I can't think of any more right now, I'll keep thinking about it though

Size reductions? Well, first of all, I'd kill a lot of the non-room space, although the new layout could prove easier to do. But wasn't the old room layout pretty much finished?

Yeah, but it was WAAAY too big. And its now outdated I like the new one better, I think its much better than the old one. With the old one, I would need to code way too much stuff, and day/night, seasons, weather, and ecosystem/background change would be too hard to implement. With the new one it will be much easier, and therefore will be much better and more complicated
