Jason and the Argonauts to Sinbad: Ray Harryhausen Fan Mod?

Users who are viewing this thread

The films that inspired Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Stan Winston. George Lucas had spoken to Ray Harryhausen "during the original STAR WARS about the chess set pieces as well, so Ray was the kind of the go-to person to stop-motion,”.

Could be a mish-mash culmination of the Fantasy Type films. Including landscapes, creatures, armors, characters. With the heroes as the stories acting as lords/party leaders/companions.

There are a lot of reference sources which would make modelling the characters easier:





Force of the Trojans (Unrealized film but concept art and designs exist, it's also being produced)

Sinbad:

Sinbad and the King Baba Roo (1969 Unrealized film which aspects were re-used for other productions)

Sinbad goes to Mars (197:cool: (Special mission area? With the pyramids as a regular location on the main world?)
'Sinbad goes to Mars' was planned as the fourth of Ray Harryhausen's Sinbad projects. A story outline was created in early 1977, and would have seen the title character travel to the red planet via light energy from pyramids.

Sinbad and the Seven Wonder of the World (1981)

Challenges:
Attention to detail movie quality models for the creatures and props/costumes since they would be the focus of the mod.
Potentially 24 fps style animation for the movements of the creatures
New rigs getting the creatures to work. And balancing for them ingame.
Might have to be expanded with more random creatures and factions to give life to the world locations not seen in the films. (if the point in "goos aspects" does not achieve enough and has to be contradicted.

Good Aspects:
Attention would be given to specific locations rather than having to overhaul everything. (aserai factions re-used for the sinbad theme)
Would re-use all the Base bannerlord Locations to fill up the land (probably distributed differently)
