New Maps!!!
We are announcing that Trainstation will be part of our first release!
This is a great compilation of shots from the one and only Trainstation which Storm is working on along with Andy2Dandy.
As you can see, the map is coming along great now and all of the basic geometry is complete.
The next stage will be putting objects in to the level and of course adding textures and lighting.
There are some surprises in store from this old map so that is definitely something to look forward to!

We are announcing that Trooper will also be part of our first release! (oh we spoil you!)
We
are in the process of lovingly remaking Trooper. Well how could we not?
Venom has been hard at work, making sure Trooper is 1:1 with its
original.
These shots are early stuff and we havnt added the
lighting (like you see in Trainstation) to make it look really sweet,
but it shows you we are not just teasing you (or are we? ;) ).

Rapid Waters Update
We told you a couple of weeks
back that Jonathan was working on making new models for Rapidwaters and
here are just a couple of the things that he has been doing. This is a
generator which is part of our policy of trying to replace some of the
wooden crates that fill the levels of TO.

This is a water tank also for Rapidwaters, and the TO3 team think this
looks brilliant!. This is a great example of how a texture can really
make a model.

Character Update
We have also decided to spoil you
this month by showing you a small taste of one of the player models in
its early stages. You would have to agree that even this untextured,
low poly version is impressive to say the least, this particular
character has been created by Loebedoe. The models in game will look as
detailed as this, but with textures on it, we are sure it will look
a lot better!.

Weapon Update
When we released the shots of the AK
last month some people asked for wireframe renders, so here you go - It
gives you a good idea of the base detail that goes into the weapons. On
top of this the texture will then give the fine detail.

We Want You!
We are still looking for more
people to join the team as we are keen to speed up our progress even
more. Currently we want Modellers and Texture Artists of all sorts, be
it organics or weapons.
So if you think that you have the necessary skills, then please put in an application.
Remember
to include some samples of your work and put a bit in about yourself
when you apply as it gives us a much better idea of who you are and
what you can do.
As a minimum requirement, we will reject all
applicants who do not show samples and anyone who does not use MSN (its
how we communicate with each other on a daily basis).

If you
aren't a professional programmer or an artistic genius then you can
still help us, we want TO3 to be as big as possible so spread the word,
drag your mates into the forums and get them to say hello, start a
leaflet campaign in your town and petition your local government for a
special TO3 day. The more people we have the more fun we can have!

See you on the servers,
Your TO3 Development Team !
