Title: LoZ - Ocarina of time
Post by: JeremGH on April 30, 2011, 12:28:15 am: Hi,

I am new in the website, but I've been forwarded here by one of my friends. Thank you for welcoming me to your great community. Here is the topic I want to share with you:

I was starting to work on a project to recreate Zelda Ocarina of Time, same story (more or less), but with different engines and better environements. Also, and that's what I really want to do, I wanted it to be more mature, and darker. The problem is that I have no skills on designing 3D environnements, even though I have been trying to get used to it for a few weeks (Maya, which is completly out of my reach, and UDK, more simple but still). On the other hand, I can draw modifications to existing environements or characters, like artworks if you want.
I know this is really a big thing, and that it could last a very long time, but as I'm wandering in Hyrule, I can't thing about anything else than how great the game would look like with high graphics...
Anyway I'm looking for interested and motivated people. When I see what the guys from Shadows of Lylat do, I think it could be possible.
I hope this won't seem too crazy...

Thanks in advance.

JEREMY

Second, no offense, but OoT remakes always end up cancelled... The amount of work needed is not that of a few guys who collaborate over the internet :/

But the thing is that I'm really motivated, I'm sure that with just a good level with new graphics on youTube, everyone would be interested about it. I want to take my chance. Are you interested about this?

Post by: Xiphirx on May 01, 2011, 12:04:28 am: I had a class in Maya, it's actually pretty easy to use once you know how the interface works, you should look at the tutorials that come with it.

I have also messed with the UDK, again, it looks very complex. I was able to make a map though with relative ease, never touched it again after that and I didn't mess with the scripting.

Well this is already turning out great.

Post by: JeremGH on May 03, 2011, 08:17:57 pm: That's it, after a few days of struggling for nothing, I can finally create things. I'm getting quite comfortable with Zbrush, and I'm on the creation of some characters. I'll try to poste some screenshots soon.
