Does anybody know?

Post by SilverSaddle »

Hi, I am just wondering, how the horses are created.

I found this demo.
http://www.horseworldonline.net/demo/

(Demo is not working, jut shows the options, scroll down)

Are the pictures drawn by the computer or every each picture drawn by human?

I don't think I have ever seen two identical horses.

However, the horses are so different it is hard to imagine how the computer put the parts together.

Any opinion?

I found that awhile ago..... I think tom said that it was an unfinished part of the game but don't quote me on that

I think, though I'm not positive, that the coding explains to the computer where the patterns can and can't go. Thus the 'genes' are the markers for the computer where and how much weight. The coat, unless I'm wrong, is drawn in layers. So if you were to strip the graying layer off of a horse, the horse's base coat, plus all the other coat colors would still remain and be visible.
This is also the likely reason we get the occasional glitch horse. Because all the layers are already there on top of each horse that's born. It's just some of those layers are blank, completely see-through, because the horse has a coding that explains that the horse doesn't have the genes, thus should remain a blank layer. When a glitch occurs, I assume that the color of another horse gets included with the glitch when it runs through the renderer, or that the coding gets miss-handled or miss-read by the renderer.
But that's my assumptions, not necessarily what actually is fact.

So, computer generated following the coding that our admins input. That's my guess and limited understanding.

All art is drawn by Larissar, and then coding adjusts the base drawing into the various shapes/colorrs/patterns the horses are displayed in.
