cfree68f Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Well, I've been working on this site with a huge team of other people for over 2 years, and it finally launched today. It'll be a while before I can put up any of the work on my site so I'm showing it on theirs. Some of the modeling was done in AM... All the hard stuff at least ;-) (namely any statues you see) I wont go into much other detail at this point. I led the group who was responsible for the 3d development. We recreated... The Ancient City of Alexandria, The Giza Plateau in 2 time periods, The Temple of Luxor over 4 time periods, and The entire tomb of King Tut as it existed when it was found. We also created all of the 3d for the Multimedia animations and are working on Fly through animations for all of the sites. Some tips and tricks for if you try the site out are... When you are in the multimedia veiwer.. resize the window... The maximum resolution we did the stuff at was 800x800! it also exist in 4 other sizes... the default 400 x 400 and 100 pixel increments up to the 800x800. If you have trouble clicking on a hotspot in the QTVRs just mouse off it and back on and it should activate. We are working on debugging the viewer still. Yada yada... I could go on and on... When you go to the site... to get to the good stuff.. just click take a guided tour and then select multimedia from the list of stuff that comes up and that will bring up all of the rich media stuff to browse... In addition as a reward for reading my yapping you can click on over 1000 high res images of everything from King tuts burial mask to various statues and other generic stuff. These could make some good source for modeling or anything else and cant be found any where else, trust me I've tried... wish I'd had access to these when I was building all this stuff in the first place. Anyway take a look and let me know what you think. http://www.eternalegypt.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaryin Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Holy crap! Nice work Colin. Let your group know that I loved the site. In fact I'm in love with all of you guys for this site, haha. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ypoissant Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Holy spline! This is a fantastic site and a fantastic job you did. That must have been a really fun project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamgaylord Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Great to see the final product after having seen a few samples at one of our Atlanta AM user group meetings. Very impressive and interesting site! Bill Gaylord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gschumsky Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 WOW! Except for a few playback issues on the crappy Dell I use at work, really nice work. Boy, does this bring me back to one of the better times in my professional career making multimedia CD's and websites (big and small teams of some of the most talented and really great people I worked with). It's not often you come across sites anymore that use QTVR, nice 3D animation, Flash, and all the other cool things that the web can be. I am impressed and want to thank you for bringing back some fond memories. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo b. Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Wow, this IS a huge project! We needed the knowledge provided by this great site for a project we just finished. So diggin Eternal Egypt was like a Dejavu for me. Our project was about the Sphinx, but a bit more fiction. We can't show the clip yet, (actually I don't know if we ever will?!?) but here are a few rough screenshots I can show without getting in trouble with the producer. It's about the "real meaning" of the Sphinx wich "acctually" is the cat of the "town musicians of bremen" (an emblem of bremen city). Greetz.

Randy Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 That site is amazing! I can easily see where a couple of years was spent on it. Jo, Those shots look awesome too! How much of that is A:M? Can you post a shaded/wireframe? Will you be able to show it at the SIGGRAPH Hash Film Show? Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo b. Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 I'm affraid to tell you that it's not AM at all. We had to use a different tool, cause of some tracking we had to do. And we diddn't know about SynthEyes™ at that moment. If we would, we would have used AM for sure. I just posted it, cause of the Sphinx topic. (Sorry if that's not allowed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Too bad. I suppose I will live... Next time, give us a call though. We'll find a solution for you. Cheers, Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo b. Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 That sounds promissing. We sure will! Greetz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
