Wow I've been so out of the loop recently. Yeti this is all fab, voted in the poll as requested. I'd get shot of Nate - replace with Psymon.

thank you NA - and thanks for voting as well
And Im good with the swap - I'll go and change to Psymon

I was thinking more about my character Sam (Insane) Hain and her face scarf/mask

As the idea of phase one is low tech/low gear, thought it would be nice if the scarf was an easy bolt on that you can choose (bit like board selections). Some are specific to characters like Sams Pumpkin with her orange goggles, others need to be earned as a trophy of achievement - possible early medal award system.

What ever the idea, like the board graphics, it could be an easy way to personalise your boarder with a swappable graphic and save time doing some face animations for the EA team (works for Prime in transformers )

So below is a google image to get the ideas going - please state if your design is a general design, character specific, a trophy win (state how) or any other idea...

The character doesn't have to be one on the line up, just ideas and designs needed

Id say present your idea as a scarf/mask like the images, but also as a square patch so we can see the design flat (unless there's a template? might look at this later)



might have said before but:
These might make an awesome give away to promote the game at events. Also, (might??) be cheaper to produce than past promotional items so you can give more away.

Heres the basic mask shape set to the resolution we created the boards from.
save this image so all the masks can be the same size/shape.

Jpeg showing - I'll ask Gondee to attached the psd to this post

Design away

to get the ball rolling

(from the mask file Ive saved the image at 800pixels across)

Sams Mask - Jack O' Lantern


AcidHoles


Colour Swatch


Venom

Looking through pics for ideas, came across the new years celebrations that occur on ski/snowboarding slopes.
Looks cool and love the colours - maybe when each Big Mountain peak unlocks this kind of celebration should occur?

so on the 12th March 2007 I posted a gif I made as a possible idea

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7113&hilit=solar


8 years later, I remembered this post because today I just found this




it all just got real liking it alot
New glowing boards for the next SSX anyone?

Dunno why but I quite like this gear


"Bolle Osmoz — We’re stoked to see this new helmet/goggle combo from Bolle. The integrated design looks extremely well engineered. Bolle claims the system works for a “full range of face and head shapes.” (Melonheads included, we think.) Interchangeable lenses keep the helmet/goggle relevant anytime from sunny days to night runs under resort lights."

IF some new gear can get into the game then possible real sponsors could help raise the profile of the game "as featured in the next gen game - SSX" and vise versa... maybe? as well as add a bit of money into the funding pot.


Think this is cool as well


"For the ski or snowboard enthusiast on your list, the must-have gadget of the year has got to be the world’s first Snow Goggles with GPS and a head mounted display brought to us by Zeal/Recon. With this device, a miniature computer gathers information from a number of onboard sensors and provides location, speed, altitude and temperature information to the wearer via a micro-LCD display inside the goggles."

Holy crap those glowing boards are IMMENSE. I LOVE them.

A quick idea, I've always been passionate about playlists in SSX since Tricky listed favourite music on characters biographies. I made a quick ideal playlist for Freya, not my style of music but I guess she'd be into empowering feminine stuff with a good beat?

Little Mix - Salute
Pussycat Dolls - When I grow up
Garbage - Why do you love me?
Arina Grande - Problem
Delain - Generation me
Within Temptation - Faster
Amaranthe - Dynamite
Blondie - Call me
Gin Wigmore - Man like that
Katy Perry - Roar
P!nk - U and ur hand


Just ideas. What about your characters? What playlists would you like to see for other characters? Background music? etc Just thinking of random stuff.

Those mask textures look like SSX thongs.

Like it, will try do something for mine

I was looking at the tube scarf which would be just a square design sewn into shape (less thong ) but decided for the in game model and design it would be easier to create and change graphics (like the board design) on the wing shape. Especially when doing a design like Sams Pumpkin mouth, or the lion design here

Song for the characters, so far:

Yeti
Johnny B Goode - Chuck Berry
Long Tall Sally - Little Richard
Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis

Sam
Push it - Garbage
Going Down - Mel C
Feel Good Time - Pink
Halo - Soil
Gunboat - Vixtrola
Step Up (clean edit) - Drowning Pool
(Cant you) Trip Like I Do - The Crystal Method



Back to more designs soon

just to cover what I said from another topic - this would also suit Project SSX



By giving the consoles an emulator, it would be nice to include the previous SSX, Tricky and SSX3 on the same disc (or second in box disc) as a back story to Project SSX (or given as a possible pre-order special edition). This would be ideal to old fans and new ones who can play the back history of the game from its rise to Big Mountain and then new story of it being rebuilt to its former glory.

So will June 14-16 2016 bring us the news we want at E3??

short course idea next, just a simple one as...well, Ive never done this before

While I still doodle a track, I decided to have a go at a Big Mountain 3 Peak logo

Oooohh that last logo is sleek! Love it!

Really exciting that they used a screenshot from SSX3 when talking about emulation for PS4, I'd buy that in a heartbeat even though i run it on my xbox 360

Course Breakdown

Brontide Valley

Start line
1) Track twists off into a howling cave (see past post)

2) as the player gains experience by phase 2 the short cut jump will be possible (phases occur as the tracks are built - see past post)

3) During phase 1 & 2 the player must enter the cave system. On phase 3 Track twist is introduced as a short cut for the more experienced player to take. Fail to complete the loop will drop the player into the cave system, losing them time.

4) Inside the cave system, coming out of a howling cave.
Might be nice to have a glowing crystal cavern to race through with an underground lake reflecting the sunlight through the crystals to give of some colour and light.

5) Frozen waterfall drop where the player can take the jump to the snow or stay longer on the slick ice but with less control.

6) Phase 3 jump. Until then it is impassable because of trees and the player must go around.

7) Stadiums, another phase 3 addition with smaller spectator zones in phase 2.

8) Finish line. builds to a full floodlit stadium finish as the phases are achieved.


(problem solved, Thanks Gondee )

Apart from the track sketch I've also been busy with these







with a brush steel effect as an experiment




either a menu system or storyboard ad next which ever I get time to do

Real time hair? ~ EA make it happen T.T

I'm currently playing SSX3 again on my PC with PCSX2 and an xbox 360 controller, and it's really cool to be able to get it in high resolution, graphical enhancements etc. I heard the GameCube version runs really well on dolphin too. This got me thinking.

Would it be possible to do a ROM hack of SSX 3 and make some of this stuff a reality? Has it ever been done for a PS2 game?

Can you imagine how cool it would be to create an "enhanced edition" of SSX3 with new characters, items, courses, events and tricks? That would be insane!

If this isn't possible - which it probably isn't - we could create a SSX "spiritual successor" in Unity or something. It probably wouldn't be as tight gameplay-wise or as good looking as the SSX games but wouldn't it be a cool way to put together fan made resources in a package? I remember the SSX RPG that someone worked on a while ago, something like that. Or even a SkiFree style retro game!

Sorry if I'm rambling, I just think it would be cool for us, the fans, to take the series forward with our creativity and all the awesome stuff that's been gathered in this thread.

_________________

I don't think so. ROM hacking is typically used for simple consoles like Nintendo DS and Super NES. And since Nintendo 64 and Playstation are considered "advanced" consoles in this area, I doubt anyone would even dare to try it on a PS2. Unfortunately...

It's a real shame none of the SSX games had PC ports. I can't even begin to imagine the endless amount of mods....
