rezmason<a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/theAntiquarium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theAntiquarium</a> Let's look at some original <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/Myst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Myst</a> assets, included in StrataVision 3D's sample assets folder, shall we? Starting with the version of Sirrus's dresser from Stoneship.See that red page? Here's its texture. I've transcribed what I can read of it in the image annotation. Isn't that interesting? Also included is the "Topographical Extrusion Test" in the imager. Lastly, am I the only Myst fan who had no idea how ornate Sirrus's mechanized bird toy is??(attn <a href="https://xoxo.zone/@robotspacer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@robotspacer</a> )

AviancerAwesome! Got everything working correctly under Windows 3.1. Turns out the S3 driver set I got was the correct one after all and I got glorious 1024x768 with 32k colors mode working! 🎉It actually ran way smoother than I expected especially compared to the generic SVGA driver, though I eventually had to drop back down to 640x480 @ 256 colors for Myst.After some trial and error I was able to also get AWE64 sound working also, though I had to fool S64basic.exe installer that I already had a controller manager installed. Blasted canyon.mid with the creative soft synth before I tried installing Roland MPU-401 support - which my PCMidi card to my surprise was completely happy to be driven by, so I followed it up with the SC-55 MkII ^^I find it exceedingly cool how the Win 3.1 midi mapper allows you to divide midi channels between different midi devices if you so desire. So you could have drums from one and the rest from another for example. To top it all off we installed Quicktime 2.03 😂 and did our first foray into Myst, the goal of the whole exercise to explore its various mysteries 💕 Will be returning to it a little later!<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroGaming</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Twitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Twitch</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Streamer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Streamer</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/vtuber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vtuber</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/enVTuber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enVTuber</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DOSgaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOSgaming</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/windows3x" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#windows3x</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Myst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Myst</a>

Data QuineThe Myst Graph: A New Perspective on Myst Have mixed feelings about these kinds of things. Yes part of me interested on the theory but don't want to ruin my memories of using Myst back in the day. Hard to describe just how beautiful and different this "game" was at the time. It was a work of art I was just a very happy virtual tourist wandering around taking in the views. <a href="https://glthr.com/myst-graph-1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://glthr.com/myst-graph-1</a> <a href="https://glthr.com/myst-graph-2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://glthr.com/myst-graph-2</a><a href="https://datasci.social/tags/Myst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Myst</a>

Barktic Fox :therian:It's a quiet day at work, so I took like 30 minutes and made an *extremely* naive reprojection of the Pod Age map from Uru onto a sphere using Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator tool (<a href="https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/</a>).The land masses are *roughly* correct, but the topography (biomes, rivers, etc.) is not, apart from maybe the ice cover on Dereno. <a href="https://woof.tech/tags/Myst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Myst</a> <a href="https://woof.tech/tags/Uru" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Uru</a>
