First I asked him what he thought of the models that I had created for Project Pine Valley, mainly the View Building, KM Marker, and Turbine Shed. I also apologized for the poor quality of my KM Marker texture as it was made straight from the screen shot. Here was his reply:
| Phil Salas wrote: | | The models you have assembled are referenced mainly to the geothermal plant (a section immediately after the PV main section and before entering the bio lab area). The structures you have posted pertain to the Geothermal plant area only.. the KM counters (sorry for the bad texturing on those... I had a limited texture count memory it was a late night and alot of other sections to polish ... these baby's had to get scrunched down considerably... so they suffered on quality. Sad.. if you need a better texture for them... could send you a higher quality version if needed) |
Note though, he disappeared before sending me the higher quality texture of the KM Marker.
I also asked him a little bit about the apparent Mayan ruins in the level (which can be seen in one screenshot of some raptors drinking from a canal as viewed from a tunnel of some kind.) Here's his response to that:
| Phil Salas wrote: | | The Mayan ruins section was assigned to Martha Reccio, she was also part of the art team responsible for creating the beautiful vegetation plateau's you see in the original game. The Mayan ruins concepts were based on a combination of temples (CALACMUL, CANCUN, UXMAL, etc. were all references inspired from) , , so I think it would be safe to say , that if you took the liberty to reference as you wish you would be loyal to the original concept design. |
That's all I have. I'll try contacting him again but since he's been out of contact for a year and a half I doubt he'll respond.
