Junlge Road Monorail

Not a very interesting shot, but it does show all of the monorail supports from the start of the level, all the way to the end. This is how big the original level was in Trespasser, but it didn't have quite the draw distance that this does.

 

There are only a few trees at the moment, because this is how i start placing vegetation. I start with the biggest trees, based on the location of the largest trees in the original Trespasser level, then i place smaller trees and then additional large trees if needed. The monorail path will be quite sparse, with lots of tree stumps left over from when the path was cleared. There will be some small regrowth along the path, with the jungle on either side being quite thick in some sections, particularly over the other side of the map, where the entrance to the Compound will be.

 

Not all the monorail supports will be in the final map, some of them will be fallen over, others not built yet and some of them damaged. They're just here to lay down the initial path. The spacing is also quite messy as it was done by eye and not very accurate.

 

You can just see the small wooden construction shack on the left, of the shot. The terrain here was modified and cleaned up, giving the monorail supports their own path, with the road a bit to the right. The roads in the original Trespasser levels are quite often over very steep and unrealistic terrain or they will have a big rock in the middle of them. Why this was done i don't know, I can only assume it was rushed editing towards the end of the games development by some of the remaining devs who were a bit less artistic.

 

In the bottom right corner is a Hummer type of vehicle, which should give you a clue to the scale here.

 

Again, all structures are temporary, and will be replaced with actual project assets at a later date. Some textures here are a bit strange because its just a low res surface generation. High res looks much better, but i only do it now and then due to the time it takes.
