Pokemon Stadium 3D [WIP]

[RecklessEnthusiasm]

Pokemon is far more intense than you might think. It is a world thick with wild animals that can do everything from shooting fire or causing earthquakes to controlling your mind. Add to this the fact that the people in the pokemon world never seemed to have never really discovered handheld weaponry. So, basically, whether you're walking through the neighborhood forest preserve or engaging in a political/religious ideological disagreements with a militant group bent on global unification under one fascist banner (team rocket), it is going to involve viscous dogfights between your subdued beasts and theirs--these beasts can be dragons, reanimated fossils, ghosts, just about anything. Anyhow, these dogfights are so ubiquitous that it has become a popular spectator sport. It is truly a terrifying and brutal setting.

Anyhow, I turned the shadows off since being surrounded by giant floodlights would produce some shadow effects that sketchup is not equipped to produce. I'll have to add them on myself in PS after I finish up the last of the modelling.

Thanks again for the advice, Crayons. And I might have to check out that series if it is as good as you say, Jax.

Oh dude...everyone I have turned onto these books went gaga over them. I can't think of a series I would recommend more.
I happened to hit a book signing here where he was speaking, not that I'm big on book signing but I figured why not...anyway he was talking about how he created this story. He had an argument with a blogger about a good novel being based upon the writer or a good idea. Jim was saying a good writer could write about anything and make it good. The other guy was saying no way, a bad idea couldn't be made great. Anyway, he told Jim that he would give him a bad idea and see if he could do anything with it. So Jim came back with, "No, you give me two bad ideas and I'll write it." The guy then said he was sick of all these Lost Legion stories and that he hated Pokemon. Now, that probably doesn't sound like much of an idea to write about but boy he blew the doors off as far as I'm concerned.

Don't want to hijack your WIP. We had a thread about good books to read a few months ago that you might want to check out as well.

Keep up the good work.

Ha! Found the thread
