Models

Models are the smallest Pieces in Art Creation, that make up any visible Entity in the Game, consolidated into the complete visible appearance of the Gameworld by the Worlddesigner.

Walls, Houses, Creatures are all made up of one or multiple Models. They are as such 3d Meshes, created using external modelling Applications, which export them into a gamereadable Format.

Art Resources

Art Resources are all Art created and stored into the Dragon Age Filesystem. Creators of Worldmaps will need Art Resources to shape them with Models, while creators of Facemorphs need Models of Faces. With that ,they are also creating Art Resources.

Art Resources include the following, but not exclusivly:

  • Animations
  • Models
  • Sounds and Voices
  • Morphs
  • etc..

Any Art Resource is also made available to the Game Design Process, where Game Designers create Designer Resources like Characters.

Animations

Visual effects

Level layouts

Level layouts are another Art Resource in itself. They are a simple world Design, that includes nothing more than wide Terrain with Trees, Lakes, Bridges, and pratically anything where a game can take place. Dragon Age play-areas are based on such Layouts.

Models is what makes up a layout for the most Part. Terrain, Lakes, and Weather are however unique to the Level Editor and can only be created with it.
