Completed: Remote Age Viewer

Postby D'eux » Thu Mar 13, 2008 11:45 am

Here's something I was thinking about the other day and modelled up for inclusion in my own Ahra Pahts Shell.

Similar to our own mainframe networks that have 'dumb' terminals for data browsing, I was thinking about the D'ni using a master machine (similar to the Nexus) that would continually monitor a library of open linking books, relaying the pictures out to simple remote terminals like this, probably based upon on similar technology to the Crystal Viewer Atrus used on Tomahna:

I will provide some updated images once I have textured and exported the model to URU.

Not only extremely slick, but also very much in style -- if you had just posted the picture, I would have assumed it was Cyan material. :)

Ok, quick update folks.
The Remote Viewer is all textured up and ready to go. I'll post some photos of the unit installed once I've written it into and Age.
Here it is tuned into viewing Tay and in Standby (Off) mode:

Very impressive! :)

If you put this much effort in to the rest of your age, it will be a work worthy of Cyan.
