Hi everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I grew up falling in love with myst like many others but mostly from watching an uncle play it when I was little. About 4 years ago I did manage to play the uru singler player version. And recently replayed the original myst by myself as well as riven. So a lot of the story is still a bit hazy. I happened upon the MOUL when I first played uru but never read into it. Now I have returned with a renewed intrest to bring back some nostalgia. I also want to eventually create, or help in createing ages myself. I have basic skill in 3d design, experience in autocad. Most of my actually "beginer" training in 3d modeling was done in early versions of lightwave. I progressed onto blender on my own several years ago, even to the point I started creating a myst creature. I never finished it as I could never figure out of to make the bone stucture work and eventually gave up (I think I might still have the model stashed in a dark corner of my harddrive). I also did a bit of concept art (basic sketches) of other creatures that I would like to use in my age. So yeah not sure exactly where I am going to start. I did read up a bit on the history of MOUL and whatnot. Sounds like it has had a lot of troubles. Is it still running? Can I still play it? What are these Shard games I keep seeing? Different ages within the game? Or a different game entirely? Anyway, despite my inexperience I'm sure with reading enough turtorials I may be able to produce some modeled+textured work.
