Mapping Tips/Guides / CreateMap tool
« on: June 19, 2010, 10:43:14 pm »
Hi,

I created a small free software tool that can be helpful for automatically creating maps for some kinds of games, using videos. It's stored here: http://github.com/hmoraldo/createmap

The concept it's based on is not new, it's called image mosaicing. But perhaps this tool can be useful to you when working on game maps, or even for creating maps for other things too: it can be used to extract backgrounds from cartoons too, and also for some kinds of real-life videos too (eg. a film scene of a city as seen from a plane).

I had a lot of fun using this myself, but I think it would be cool if I could see what other people generate using this tool. I don't have too much time to keep coding for it myself but patches are welcome.

If there is interest, I can explain how this can be used and show some examples. The tool is not perfect; it works best for sidescrollers (in whatever axis) but it can also be used for games that move in any direction.

I hope you are interested on this.

Thanks!
