Hi! So...
A couple years ago, I made a map based on the Guardians of Ga'Hoole's Southern Kingdom, and then had it released into the public. At first, I was proud of it, but as time drew on I began to dislike the map and wished that I had taken more time on making it. But for some reason, when I made the old map
the map never lagged, despite all the detail in one concentrated area. Because of that, making the map was a fun experience.
So I'm going to do it again, and it's working just as well as the old version. No lag either.
Here are the images from the old map, showing mostly St. Aggies and the Ga'Hoole tree.Here is a series of pictures of of the new Northern Kingdom--or at least some if it so far. Right now all my attention is being directed towards the tree itself.
The tree, as seen from the Beaks' shore.
The gate/gong, welcoming owls to the Ga'Hoole tree.
Further shot, showing the tree in the distance.
The tree using Thierry's Ga'Hoole tree mesh, retextured with another tree texture in order to "extend" the tree.
Landing strip to the dining hollow or Paliament, and several platforms.
The inside of the dining hollow.
Entrance to the owlet section of the dining hollow.
One of the many rooms in the forge.
The map has and will be so big that you can't see the end of the sea that the tree is in. There will be multiple hollows within the map, in order to increase interest in exploring.
What I'm including:
- Music from the film, plus a few more.
- Detailed hollows for people to roleplay outside the tree and other major areas
- Custom-made notes and drawings
- Written letters that are lore-friendly
- Northern, Southern, and Middle Kingdoms
- New landmarks that aren't canon to the story,
- Underground caves
- Wolves of Beyond locations*possibly*
The thing is that it's gonna take a lot of meshes. I'm using a lot of WoW meshes, so things like books and food is plentiful right now, but I will probably need meshes for things such as paper and other decorations, in order to make the map far more immersive for the average Ga'Hoole fan. So if anyone is willing to point me to more meshes or textures to improve the map, then please let me know! Suggestions are welcome, and if this goes well, I might be able to make maps of the Pridelands, while including new landmarks from The Lion Guard. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
