Anything that isn't directly related to Age Creation but that might be interesting to Age developers.

Would something from M.C. Escher be possible?

Postby Karkadann » Tue Dec 22, 2009 12:56 pm

Something I always wanted to see in Uru Live is one of his drawing called Relativity a 1953 Lithograph not knowing much about age creation I wonder if the gravity could be manipulated to accommodate the stairs and rooms. Is something like this possible?


he has some realy unusual stuff that might be worth checking out.

Yep, with some tinkering with boundaries and stuff it's possible to have a several points of gravity, I've been experimenting with it for an illicit Age I've been working on.

Someone posted an example of the concept ages ago but I can't remember who, might have been D'Lanor.

I like the name, first of all...fits right in to the whole scheme of things here...

The concept can be downloaded from this post.


I luv a guy that points "over there"

I think the avatar has to enter the subworld in the same horizontal position it has in the main age. Then you can turn over the subworld and the avatar plus its camera should rotate along with it.


Has this 'thinking' been tried?

I am a big fan of Escher, and it'd be absolutely amazing to see anything similar come to live in Uru (actually it might even drag my father to Uru - he once said something along these lines :lol: . I'm afraid I hardly know anything about Blender, but if there's anything I could do to help you, please let me know :)

My favourite one from him is this:

Not by me. And as Grogyan pointed out it would probably be easier to use camera regions and replace the avatar cam with a custom camera (assuming that other camera types in Uru don't have the same problem with being upside down).

@diafero: I love that one too. Somewhere among my blender files is one where I started to make an age inspired by it...

Maybe I should give it a chance.

That'd be awesome :)
