What is the max poly count?

attached a picture of the polycount of TFM`s bridge and i think it`s a little bit to detailed.

Joey1 · « **Reply #151 on:** February 28, 2011, 18:34:36 »

For a building like this bridge it would be 2000 Vertics, so we have 179 Vertics more than we need. It would be great, if you could optimize it a bit. But we should also ask TFM.

Here is an other update:

I have done one of the most famous buildings in Venice, the St Mark's campanile
It is very low poly modelled (only 168 vertics) but the realistic texture maks it looking very detailed.

I hope you like it.

Here is my daily update:

A depot building for the big commercial port. It doesn't look very nice but it looks like the real building.

I hope you like it.

It would be also nice to see some more buildings, bridges etc. from someone else.

Joey

PS: My aim is to do one building per day for the next weeks.

i will join to if that ok with you

Joey1 · « **Reply #155 on:** March 04, 2011, 18:45:26 »

It's okay, you are on board.

We need any model we can get, it would be nice if you do some houses.

And I'm already workig on the next building, this time it's a church.

Joey

craigster1 · « **Reply #156 on:** March 04, 2011, 18:50:28 »

ok how long have i got
thanks for getting me on board

craigster1 · « **Reply #157 on:** March 04, 2011, 19:09:14 »

hey joey how do i do this as ive seen the pics u and some other guy have done what do i do

Joey1 · « **Reply #158 on:** March 04, 2011, 19:57:21 »

Just go to google earth there the whole city is in 3d but we can't use that models. So you pick up a house, bridge etc. and model it. To get the right proportions you can try to get the house in your Sketchup. After you have done a low poly model of your building, you have to do a texture map it should be 256x256 pixel. If you don't know how to do this, I wrote a tutorial how to do it. I think it's one or two pages back.

If you have problems with the texturing, I can do it for you if I have time.

To see how such buildings look like, look at the files topic (http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php/topic,24156.0.html) and download the models from there.

I hope this helps you, if you have any questions, feel free to post them here.

Joey

PS: If you need a proper texture I can post some pictures from my holidays in Venice here.

craigster1 · « **Reply #159 on:** March 04, 2011, 21:35:28 »

ok thanks

Joey1 · « **Reply #160 on:** March 05, 2011, 17:37:52 »

It got to quiet here.

We haven't received any model except from mine for one week.

We need your help, without the help of anybody else this project will die.
So many times members ask for new environments - here you have the chance to model one of these for the game.

So I really hope we can go on with this since we had a great start.

What about the the soo locks Sault Ste. Marie michigan and algoma steel its probably 5miles in radius of the place 1st pic is algoma steel 2nd pic is soo locks

Joey1 · « **Reply #162 on:** March 05, 2011, 20:24:11 »

Sorry but we already decided which environment we model, it's Venice in Italy

Anyway I would be very nice if you would help us by doing some models.

Joey

jakanddexter · « **Reply #163 on:** March 05, 2011, 20:29:33 »

Ok well what do you want me to start on

Joey1 · « **Reply #164 on:** March 07, 2011, 16:07:21 »

Sorry for the late reply, but you can read it some posts before:

Please go on with the great modelling we need more models.

And here for anyone else, who is waiting for new pics, I have attached some new.

looking good...

So what else is there to model?

Joey1 · « **Reply #166 on:** March 07, 2011, 16:16:21 »

Thanks, TFM

You are very good at doing bridges, so why not do the Rialto Bridge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rialto_bridge)

I think I will do a list with all things we have to do and we have done on it.

Joey

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #167 on:** March 07, 2011, 16:24:01 »

I will look into it

But a list sounds like a good idea

Joey1 · « **Reply #168 on:** March 07, 2011, 16:59:00 »

Here is the list

Venice project oversight list:

*Main model (all the small islands, without buildings, bridges etc.)
*St Markâ€™s Campanile
*St Markâ€™s Basilica
*Rialto Bridge
*San Giorgio Maggiore (Whole Island)
*Cruise terminal
*Port buildings (depots, ferry terminal)
*Doge's Palace
*Bridge of Sighs
*Piazza San Marco
*Venetian Arsenal
*Repeatable buildings (done 3 / to do approx. 20-40)
*Repeatable bridges (done 0 / to do approx. 20)
*Other bridges (done 1 / to do ?)
*Trees
*Vaporetto stop
*Small marinas
*Other bell towers

green = done
blue = work in progress
red = to do

So if you want to model something for the environment, pick up one of the red things. If you want to do one of the blue ones, please ask before you start working then we don't get on model two times

Please tell me, if I forgot anything important.

Joey

hi joey can i do it on sketchup 8. i know how to make ships

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #170 on:** March 07, 2011, 17:04:53 »

We've got one bridge done

craigster1 · « **Reply #171 on:** March 07, 2011, 17:06:37 »

oh i see i can do a ferry or something

Yes you can do it on Sketchup but please upload it as Collada (.dae)

You can just start with a repeatable building (256x256 pixel texture, less than 300 polys).

Quote from: The Ferry Man on March 07, 2011, 17:04:53

Sorry, I knew I forgot something. But your bridge can only be used once since it has too many polys to be repeated.

Ahh

craigster1 · « **Reply #174 on:** March 07, 2011, 17:20:17 »

How will i now about the pixals.

Poll

Which environment should we model?
