Land of Poems (or Necrophillia Hell)

[crazydog]

Land of Poems(or Necrophillia Hell) is a VR Art Application about
Ecology.
Its basically artistic, so theres nothing to do, except enjoy wandering
around Land Of Poems, listening to poems and music.
The set is a Garbage Dump with nothing alive, except when you
find certain spots where poems are read and you can see the memory
of a forest.
Land of Poems is the first of 4 sets which we are working on, and we call
+Terrible Mindscapes+.
The next one we are working on is called +Mines of King Solomon+ and will
be a little game +20-30 mins+ about dreams, again with an ecological subject.

We used Ogre, OpenAL, nvidia 3d vision kit, blender and gimp to create it.
In solomon we wil be adding OgreNewt for physics.

Here are some images!

































And a sneak peak of Mines of King Solomon

Anything callled "Land of Poems, Necrophilia Hell" is ok by me. Looks like it would be fun to wander around in. Even though it's not a game, it'd be creepy. Especially if some monsters suddenly leaped out of the fog.

Hahahah, yeah we were thinking on putting some HPLovecrafts monsters wandering
around! a Yogsothot thingy, or slurpy things with many eyes! hahahaha...

Im working on an installer! as soon as i have it will post it here!

Thank you very much Beauty we love this kind of atmospheres
here at Abarrotes... probably because we are all mexicans from
mexico city and thats what we are used at


BTW we have zombies now, my next post will be a trailer video
with the zombies

Here is a trailer video... we have zombies now, many....

Im afraid its only in spanish...

impressive!!
I really like it

How did you create the fog?
It doesn't seems to be simple fog (dependent to the camera distance).
It seems so that the fog on mostly on the floor, so that I can see the upper part of some buildings.
Also the fog seems to have a variable/changing density.
Did you create the fog by shader?

Its a particle effect... basically, the way it works, is that the emitter is very
large, and the particles are huge and very transparent... the emitters move
to be more or less at the same distance from the camera, and there are six
emitters creating an hexagon around the camera...

Cheers i can send you the particle effect scripts if you like!

Oh, good idea to use particles.
Do you use the Ogre particle system or an other one like ParticleUniverse?
Currently I don't use it, but I would have a look into the fog code. (my e-mail address is: beautyod at gmx.de)
If you are not afraid, you could also publish the code in the wiki. (If you aren't familiar with wiki work, I can do the job for you.)

Hi Again Beauty!


I used the Ogre Particle System... which I find amazing....


Ive now mailed you the material file, the particle file, and the two textures needed!
Im not afraid I just do not know how to use the wiki at all! So it would be amazing if you could
publish it in the wiki! honestly Thank you very much! Anything I can do to
contribute is great for me!

As a note, the idea to use particles, came from Prince of Persia 4 (the weird one, that
hasnt got anything to do with the trilogy)... At the beginning there is a sandstorm, and
I was trying to emulate it... someone told me they used particles to create it, so i
started on it! Honestly Im not even sure the guy that told me they had used particles
had any idea of what he was saying, because he is not a programmer or anything, but
i suppose i just believed him straight away


Have a nice day
