Far Cry 2 GC 2008 Map Editor Gamespot Interview
PC,PS3,Xbox 360 Release Date: October 21, 2008 Genre: First-Person Shooter The first tool at your disposal is the mound tool. Simply create a circle on an area of land and hold down a button, and the earth will begin to elevate, almost as though you're spray-painting elevation changes. Indeed, most tools handle exactly like a spray-paint tool in Photoshop. If you "spray" over the ground with the noise tool, it will create random divots and rocks and small contours to give the map a more natural look. The erode tool can be applied to elevated mounds, creating sheer cliffs and steep, rocky slopes. A texture tool can apply individual biome characteristics that represent the major areas of Far Cry 2: jungle, desert, and savannah. An algorithm will select trees and bushes at random, so vegetation appears realistic rather than being a perfect grid of palm trees. We watched as one developer created a beautiful forest in a matter of seconds. Roads can be added by selecting a surface such as dirt or pavement and then dragging and dropping points around the topography. Finally, every map must have a set number of spawn points, at least one spectator camera location, and mode-specific objectives like flags in Capture the Flag. A validation tool will tell you what you're missing before you're allowed to finalize your map. The bulk of your time will be spent with the object tool, which gives you the ability to drop any object into the environment and orient it exactly as you wish, even if you prefer a village of upside-down houses. Churches, fences, homes, walls, explosive barrels, and vehicles can be added anywhere, although the vehicle count is currently capped at six. Because these objects can be stacked on top of one another, you can create some impressive structures should you take the time to build them. One map we saw showed a construction site and an unfinished building made out of individual girders. Another map was designed as a harbor, with large cargo containers stacked on top of one another and tall cranes looming overhead. A final map we ran through featured an old passenger train stretched across a lake with a few wood docks floating about. If you can dream it, you can probably make it happen. Once your map is created, you can play around with times of day and add weather effects like fog and rain. Finally, you can hit a button and drop right into the map and start shooting it up or burning it down with a flamethrower. Not only is this fun, but it gives you the chance to scope out good firing positions and test the design of your map. Should you not want to spend too much time in the map editor, you can always download a map from another user and modify it to your liking. The original creator will still receive credit for his map, but you can jump right in, make changes, and upload it again. Ubisoft is still hammering out all the community features of the map editor, but at the very least you will be able to sort through maps based on filters like top rated or number of times played. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to share maps across different platforms, but based on our time with the map editor, it appears that Ubisoft has reached its goal. The editor is seamless and simple.

Author: Century21LakesRegion How to design like an architect
This is the architect's neighborhood volume 3. How to design like an architect. I'm Doug Patt. I thought the best way to talk about design would be to create a dream home for someone, but first, let's talk about the design process. An architect, like any design professional draws on a wellspring of information. How we design is based to some extent on what we know. What we know can be based on the school we went to, the books we've read, the magazines we like to look at, where we grew up, our friends and relatives, the occupations we've held and in general, our life experiences. A professor named Edmund Bacon (actually the father of the actor Kevin Bacon) told me something once that I will never forget. He said, "It's in the doing that the idea comes". That is, we must sit and work through something before we can find the best way to solve a problem. Solving a design problem is essentially taking what we know and putting it together with that particular challenge. When an architect sits down to problem solve they frequently sketch. Sketching is one of the best ways to work out the solution to a problem. And I believe that it's exactly what Edmund Bacon meant when he said "it's in the doing that the idea comes." Before we design our dream home I need to give you a little insight into one of my favorite architects. Le Corbusier (October 6, 1887 -- August 27, 1965) was a Swiss born architect, writer and painter among other things. He was well known as a modern architect and for his theories & approach to architecture. I'll save his story for another episode, but would like to reference one of his most well known buildings. The Unite d'Habitation in Maresielles France is a very modern looking, long, narrow building that incorporates a number of Corbusier's design principals. The building is set on large concrete piloti's or pillars. It also incorporates a roof garden and sculpture. Although the style is seen as brutalist, it was Corbusier and his team's intention that the building provide better living conditions for occupants in a crowded city. They did this by stacking narrow two story apartments rather than spreading them out over the landscape. The buildings compact, lifted form was also seen as opening up the ground plane and providing the residents with a place of recreation on the roof. So, keep those things in mind as we look to design our dream home. This is Kelly. Kelly's dream home is a house on a cliff overlooking the ocean in California. She loves modern architecture. Now for purposes of time constraints I'm only going to design a small portion of the house and I'm going to do it quickly. So, It goes without saying that any architect worth their salt should be using a lot more information & spend a lot more time problem solving than I'm sharing with you here. Now, I assumed the site was narrow because of the scarcity of build able land in say Laguna Beach, CA. In that case I decided the home would be long and narrow, but tall. Every area has zoning ordinances that would probably affect the height of this building but I'm going to ignore them for this exercise. The house will be essentially a four-story window that points directly at the ocean view. Kelly want's to be a counselor so we know there should be some kind of space dedicated to having discussions and being inspired. A cantilevered deck is perfect for this. Now, an architect gets all kinds of useful information when interviewing a client for a job. Kelly's favorite building material is stainless steel so I decided to clad the whole house with it. Kelly also told me she had been born on an Indian reservation so I added this conical shape to the roof. A reference to the traditional American Indian tee pee. And there you have it. I put what I know together with the challenge of creating a dream home. SOME of what I referenced was work by Le Corbusier. What we've ended up with is a four story building set on pilotis. A home with a roof garden and roof sculpture that doubles as an observation deck. And finally a long narrow building with stacked living accommodations and a breathtaking view. All put together, a dream home for Kelly. So, thanks for checking out how to design like an architect. I'm Doug Patt. If you want me to design your dream home just subscribe to my youtube channel, then send me a message in the connect with section. If I get enough interest maybe I'll pic you & design your dream home in an upcoming episode!

Resolved Question: Does a structural engineer design buildings or does the architect solely do that?
I am interested in structural engineering. Does the structural engineer design buildings, or is it just his job to make sure they dont fall down. I would like my job to be designing buildings and making sure they are safe, and overseeing the construction, etc. Is that what a structural engineer does? Resolved Question: What kind of engineer gets to design using a CAD to build public buildings AND houses?
I know civil engineers build public buildings but could they also build houses? if not what kind of engineer do I want to be? and do most engineers use CAD's? Resolved Question: Why some owner / developer does't provide the reinforcement in their Buildings as per Structural Design?
In the field of construction, the developer / owner doesn't follow properly the Structure Design. Hence the buildings which was built by such owner/developer becomes dangerously during earthquake may occur. They have only the value of money than human beings. Resolved Question: Is there a software that lets you designs buildings with ease like the Sims game?
Resolved Question: i have a whole bin full of lego any easy ideas for farms, designs and buildings?
please help i am a lego freak! |
