Art List

related page: Buildings and Structures

hopefully, much of the island can be procedurally generated from existing data sources - including roads, fences, plants, and some buildings - however, there are numerous objects will need unique 3d models - hand-modeled or acquired:
- unique buildings, including hotels, the observatories, airport buildings, and archaeological sites
- road vehicles and road signs
- boats and airplanes
- animals
prioritized list of a few items to start with:
1. feral pig, with animated movement, to be placed in forested areas
  - feral pig status
2. United 747 or similar aircraft, to land and take off from Kona and Hilo
  - 747 models are on the Vehicles page, need to apply a "United" texture map
3. a "tarmac staircase" for getting out of the plane
  - a quick web search did not turn up one of these
4. the Hele-On commuter bus, easy to move along it's daily Hilo-Kona route
  - 3dcafe: no bus. assigned to an artist in 1998, a low LOD was created.
  - recreated in Blender in 2006
5. at least one popular rental car, e.g. a Mustang convertible
6. one offroad vehicle
7. most of the Mauna Kea observatory structures
  - description on buildings page
  - status: built preliminary models (rough, 400-1000 polygons each), will need better models in the future
8. at least 1 hotel on the S.Kohala coast
9. a sports-fishing boat
10. a fish for the sports-fishermen to catch - e.g. Marlin, Ulua
11. a cow, with brown/white or black/white texture map
  - usable in a static 'head down' pose
  - eventually simple cow motions are desirable
  - possibly could use Animania! from Credo for cow motion
12. tour helicopter
  - there are 3 types mentioned by the tour operators:
  - American Eurocopter ASTAR 350, has 3d models available, two LODs:
    - (VP4288) AS-350 Ecureui/Astar/Fennec, 474 polys
    - (VP5595) AS-350 Ecureui/Astar/Fennec, 5169 polys
  - Sikorsky S76
  - TWINSTAR, twin jet engines
13. any other unique buildings on the island
