IDEAS FOR RYZOM


Unimplemented Animals - Fish

The way the Atys world works is based upon a wireframe model....take a window screen and bend it up a bit to shape a hill....you can walk up the wirefrane to the top of hill.

You can NOT exist at 2 points in the Z axis...... you can't be below the wire frame and you can't be above the wireframe. You must be at the "surface".

In water, tho we have the illusion of a surface your toon can not be below the surface.....these fish mobs, to be relistic would have to be abke to move up and down and that's where the problem is...3D objects can ony exist at the wireframe surface.

Of course every rule has an exception....go into a cave in PR and it seems as if you are at a different point on the Z axis......but then every been smacked or feared by a Vorax when he's 60m above ya head ? He exists at same z point, yu do.

However, would moving fish around be any different than Gingos moving up and down a hill on land? I know it is clunky and looks ridiculous at times, but it is doable, surely.
