..the problem is I can't do it all by myself.



I can model buildings, texture (respectably), bake. I am also starting to learn to import maps in GTAIV. I would rather find a team to help me out and create this map, though.
I have already made the VC heightmap, using CryEngine 3 to better edit it. However, it can't be made in CE3.

Staffing needs:
-A road planner/terrain artist to cut the pie and export
-A modeler for character editing/creation
-Another buildings modeler
-A couple of texture guys
*Of course, if anyone has experience exporting maps to GTAIV (or V if we're that late), please join in.

The idea is to reimagine Vice City on a bigger scale than the old game (think GTA3 LC vs GTAIV LC). I wouldn't like toI'd really love to add the swamps and forests to the NW, but I'm not sure we'll even be able to get the islands done, until we gather up.

-The map size is 8192x8192m (1m~3ft/pixel)
-VC is 4,8km long (vertical axis)

Targets (changed):
-Recreate Vice City
-Port original VC radio stations
-Add missing vehicles (some of them are already in GTAIV)
-Create Malibu, Ocean view and a few more enterable places (malls, houses). I wonder if Split Sides' show (audio, models and animations) could be "transplanted" as is
-Create a functional subway system
-Add mini-Cuba (the little island at the bottom right corner)

Other ideas (changed):
-Add female cops
-Modify or edit LC's TV stations and shows to 80's style ones (we'll need a script for that)

The best luck for this mate, sounds awesome, hope you find team soon

You are the first mod leader to post here with actual skill in a long time, i doubt there are many modders here with abilities that you want who aren't already working on other TC's.

Agree with RoadRunner, good luck.

[SiR R.i.P.P.E.R.]

The first building, untextured. Ground floor is enterable.

nice building! it sounds like it will be a great map.

where are all map modders?

If you know of someone, inform him.

Does anyone recongnise this building? Still a WIP:

[aacclapd]

i think it is near the airpot in VC, am i wrong?

[SiR R.i.P.P.E.R.]

It's IKEA Sunrise, in NE Miami. Here it will be KRAPEA Sunshine!

[hristobg]

KRAPEA – sounds like CRAPY... Oh, the irony. Good luck, mate!

[aacclapd]

very good modellated dude!
keep at the good work!

[SiR R.i.P.P.E.R.]

Krapea is finished, except for some props that will come later. Coming up, the Vice Air Arena!


Here are some Krapea renders BTW.

Entrance area (yes, I've spotted the bugs):

That looks awesome, maybe some of the modders of these unfinished map conversions to Rage can help you.

I hope so. I'm contacting every one of them day-by-day.

Here's where Vice's best take to the court: the Vice Air Arena! Of course it is still a WIP. I need to make the entire plaza.

Don't mind the shadow artifacts! Buy your season tickets NOW!:

[RoadRunner71]

Holy f***! Good work! is it enterable?

[SiR R.i.P.P.E.R.]

I don't think I'll make it enterable. It would take as much work as half the city to make it interesting and I'm working alone for now. Krapea won't be for sure though. I've lived through the IKEA nightmare twice, I won't make one myself!

[Frank.s]

Very nice, keep it up.
The map needs a little dirt and muck and "glue", its very flat, also vertex coloring.

yes you're right cause a map is more real when you add dirt in the building edges (glue).

[SiR R.i.P.P.E.R.]

Front side nearing 60%:

[aacclapd]

that's nice! i'm planning to update my us bank tower and add a plaza (looking just like yours).(us bank in my signature is mine if you didn't know that)
