details about image: this update is mostly for "AAA" who wanted to see a wireframe... but added more depth to the peers with drone launchers(smaller peer attached to the larger size of the hexagon) and added connection between the arrows and the main peers and same goes for the 3rd peer which has no arrow(large peer attached at the small end of the hexagon)

Cool idea. It would be great to see this progress.

Isn't Atlantis a continent?

For some reason I think Amit was thinking about Antarctica.
And I look forward to see progress on this.

What exactly could this turn out to be?

awesome

For those that know knothing of Stargate, he's trying to make this: http://www.scifiontherock.com/images/St ... lantis.jpg

This is going to be great, but don't the piers slant outwards from the bottom, as a ship's bow would?

yes but this is the part above water. this part don't slant at all. it's the bottom part.

Sounds pretty sweet, looks even better.

If that's ingame, it'd probably be too big. Maybe you could make an inside level where that's a hologram or scaled model in one of the rooms?

or ore orge it can be a sky map...1 underwater and another above water.... i'll remove the towers that im going to incorperate into the bsp from the skymap(or was it box =\). i might also make one with all the towers incorperated. the final skymap might have the buildings as plane placed at specific angles with rendered images of the buildings from the current render model instead of actual mesh to create a realistic effect. and i like the hologram idea also =P haven't thought about that one.

I don't know what a skymap is so I'm just gonna say, "Good luck with that!"

I can't tell what the picture is for?

uh i don't know what u mean and today's update:

details about image: added water bins and started the center of the larger piers. also added the item on the bridge. bins might have to be remade since they're 32 sided each...
