[Model] Afghan house render

mrmong · Post by **mrmong** » 2007-03-08 20:15

Having a go at a static house, i think its to scale. i may or may not make it destructable.. im not really sure how to do it, also im not sure if i have to add anything to make the ladder useable.
the windows will be an alpha texture, not filled in like it is. i used the FFD tool to make the edges look a bit more wobbly.
You can go inside of it but im not sure if i have to make furniture or do it seperatly for a mapper to add.

its only 1190 triangles so far, im a bit of a perfectionist in moddeling, i don't think any poly's are being wasted.

based of this.

nice work, although I am not sure on the furniture.

Very good, now you need some textures.

yeah, i just UV mapped most of it, are 1024/1024 texture sheets okay.

good model. realtime statics for big enviroments are usually textured using layered 'pallettes' nowadays instead of individual textures per object. have a look at the stock bf2 textures, posts/tuts on bfeditor.org & at this tutorial for info- http://synthesisgraphics.com/tutorials/ ... meshes.htm

Very nice, make the furniture separete, so mappers can use the same house with diferent furniture aspects

do the spikes as a flat whole thing, with transparent textures, to save polygones

its a texture with an alpha channel, i have about 4 or 5 planes on each side so i could make them go in different directions,

the texture sorta looked like this :

i've only got to do the textures now, i used render to texture to make them look a bit better, im not sure how to do this crazy bf2 colour etail map things so ill just pass the model over to a DEV maybe.

mrmong · Post by **mrmong** » 2007-03-18 17:06

done some textures. i haven't added normals yet ill do that later.

could someone send me some rigged models of the british soldiers please, it'll be nice to make a little scene.

almost done, i added normal maps. it doesnt look great in the viewports as they don't support proper lighting, if i had an in game model viewer it would look better.
i cant render it anymore as it has DX9 shaders

Looks great... Im surprised your thread has been ignored the past couple days.

i've been watching this thing develop for a while, gotta admit it looks badass. Can't wait to see if it makes it in game. Good job man.

looks good.

remove the ladder though, mappers can put a ladder seperatly if they want.
