Yea I looked through it. I am looking for a guestimate of the over-all size of the entire arena as well as the symbol in the middle which i cannot seem to find =/

Actually the capping I've been doing for the new gallery has well covered the screenshots of the architecture, and I'm far along enough that I can probably go through the caps and cover just about every location. I'm at work right at this moment so I can't, but when I get home I'll pile them up in a zip for you. You might also then be interested in some of the layout charts in the game stuff, I'll track them down, too. (You do mean the series, yes? Movie's a whole other bag.)

I wouldn't expect it all to make sense, since the dueling forest is quite clearly a space warp of some kind, the arena is far larger than the room in that wooded area, never mind that it appears open space when it's clearly not. Oh, Akio.

And, this forum? We keep it real.

Real busy.

Well, the space warp thing is no problem and any movie I make of it (or screen) will most notably be edited to fit the series.

I cant wait for the images Giovanna.

The reason I wanted to do this is for, well, my own personal improvement in modeling and animation as well as have my own "dolls" to do with what I want. Be it animate a duel, or make cool background images. Thanks for the support and sorry for the first post, I am at a school with nothing but anime nerds and its hard to get anything done. I like anime, but damn some people need to get a life

Speaking of needing to get a life, here ya go. Is 9mb.

This is by no means all-inclusive, but I basically jumped around episodes, especially ones I was familiar with and ones that changed the set in some major way, and pulled the shots of the school. Some things I included, some I didn't, but hopefully this will prove useful.

And seconding Yasha. We seem to be more of a sex-crazed bunch than a whole lot of otaku.

Yes, but that doesn't mean we're OMG LOLZ KEKEKEKE anime fans. I think I've only ever said things like that in jest.

I want Kozue death trap stairs ;__;

I think many parts of the world would be improved greatly by Kozue Death Trap Stairs. Starting with my workplace.

Actually, I have to admit that sometimes I feel out of place here because although I have seen a bit of anime in my time, I don't watch it anymore and never watched a lot of it to begin with. Which is partially because I'm from a country with more sheep than people (and as I understand it, sheep culture doesn't go much beyond a) grass and b) wondering what the hell those dogs want THIS time), but...yeah. [scratches head] Ah, well, never mind...I'll go back to trying not to download the .zip, because seriously, I waste enough time as it is without obsessively trying to work out the construction of Ohtori. I told my father I wasn't going into civil engineering for a reason.

The architecture pics are an invalubale reference material!

I've taken some screenshots of episode 37-39 of the scene where Anthy goes on the roof, but I can't figure out where that roof is located. I thought it might be a nearby structure of the Akio tower, but I went through the pics and it seemed that there was some platform sort of thing attached to it. Isn't that the Student Council area though? I'm so confused about that.

OMG That zip makes me want to someone raise 5 bajillion dollars and make some BUILD that damn school.

wow im stupid, forgot to look through the other folders for the arena hahahah...



*hides*

Don't feel too bad Clarice, I've had my run ins with other anime and I'll watch new ones on occasion, but I don't really consider myself an anime fan these days. Definitely no otaku, SKU is just...SKU. I'm raging fanatic whore for The Sandman and Xenogears as well but I'm not a comic geek or a gamer (these days).

I feel the same way. Except for maybe about The Sandman and Xenogears. Never seen either of them. Although i do feel that way about Naruto (but not Naruto on cartoon network.)

Im afraid... very afraid of the translation jobs and voices that we tend to hear in the US. its a sad sad world we live in.

Well now....

the question being should I make it look real and jack the polys through the roof, or cut most of it and make it game graphics?

I found what I need actualy. I will still work on it, but at the moment I got another job to do. Government building that needs to be modeled. gonna take me all day but well worth the 3k
