i cant capture vids unfortunately, but some new screens here:
Details are not in place, only the bigger picture, background is yet to come.
It will get more "gigersk" with time. (at least my interpretation / inspiration)
will probably go more speedrunny with the easier version than i have tryed to build before, should be interesting
as i have never really went for one of those smooth driving lines.
thnks for the pics. Really looks interesting. And background looks like it's already halfway done. I expect a full complexity bar when the track is finished :P
btw. Maybe a tip if you'd like or more a suggestion.. one of those giger eggs opening up as a custom checkpoint. If that's manageable and suits the track. I wouldn't know how but maybe you got some more creativity in you.
that would be some Giger-checkpoints for sure! cool idea,Originally Posted by Rishaan Go to original post![]()
i should make a facehugger mask with the fingerleggs flapping around while driving too lol, im probably going for some easier solutions on the cp's tho =)
Happy you like the look so far, hopefully i can make it fun to ride too.
That will be awesome. lol.Originally Posted by fleskeknoke Go to original post
Update, 23.6.14
The track is starting to come together I think. The areas are feeling like they maybe have a hint of atmosphere. Maybe..
I haven't been getting a great amount of time to build the past week or so.. Plus parts of this track are getting very slow and tedious to put together. Anyway here are some of the areas that are coming along now.....
The head room. This monolithic head was a nightmare. I'm still not happy with it. its looked like Dog excrement for the most part.
The egg chamber.. the succubus of my complexity meter..
The track is running around 35 to 40 seconds currently.. There is still allot of refining and details to add, plus some more work on other areas not shown in the pictures..
If the egg chamber doesn't kill my complexity meter then my plans should go well... I'd say I'm about 45% complete now.. still allot of slow stuff to build but, getting there..
:If you spot anything particularly horrible looking in my pictures above feel free to let me know, better to know now lol...
Sorry if I have been rambling on.. Thanks for reading and checking out the thread.
Pics look great, especially with the fog. Perhaps, if it fits the atmosphere, try to play with the depth of field setting, to try and make it really look like eggs. (they're barrels right?)Originally Posted by Blackbird56695 Go to original post
Thanks for the tip about the depth of field settings Ill look into that... The containers in the Head room, surrounded by fog are not supposed to be eggs. There the Pot container things from Prometheus (Black Goo)... If they where the ones you where referring to that is. If so yes they are barrels I think.. Its been awhile since I placed them.Originally Posted by Rishaan Go to original post
The proper facehugger eggs are in the bottom picture, they are a little hard to make out, I haven't got around to adding the mist layer to the egg chamber yet just the Head room..
Thanks for dropping by Rishaan..
This is cool looking stuff Blackbird,
i was playing around with about the same idea at first using tons of the eggs (not different chambers but one huge environment)
but went another way. Especially now with the complexity reduced after the patch i glad i did=)
I have a lot of details to work on and the meter is building quick.
If a dlc suddenly drop on us with great objects to use then i guess we are in trouble lol.
happy you joined the tribute to Giger, Blackbird,
really looking forward to more updates and of course the final results!

Thanks ROBO. Looking forward to more updates from you as well + playing the track.. Yes, if we get some good and helpful objects in a DLC that's going to be good and hell at the same time lol.
It was a tough decision to go with a complete Giger Alien theme or to go off his artwork alone. There has been many times I wished I chose the later lol.. But Gigers alien work is great, just a bit restrictive at times i guess..
That egg chamber alone has pretty much taken my bar up to 3/4 full. And the worst part is the chamber isn't even finished yet lol... It looks big not that it shows in the pic above.. I'll pop some more pics of the egg chamber up soon..
All the best with your build ROBO......Great facehugger pic by the way.
