Hey Just finished my first Static Model, I was thinking one thing that makes all Bf2 City maps a bit samey, is boring pavement objects. So I thought I'd make a new set... I plan to make lots of different bits like corners and ends...
Anyways this is my first attempt let me know what you think,
btw it's
5.12 m long
2 m wide
.5m deep (so it can be sunk to different levels.)

Looks good so far but it doesn't look finished.

I'm fairly sure the wall next to it has a bump map, you can see the specularity bouncing off the edges. The texture you've used/made looks nice but seems a little flat. The dark grooves between the tiles could use a bit of depth via bump mapping.

Also, the joins are a bit dodgy.

Good start tho.

Edit: I'm not sure how relevant my post is now. Is that bump mapping I see since you've updated the image?

look very nice

nice work
can definitely be useful

Great job, PR could use some of these i'm sure

Nice!

yeah looking good , Keep it up !

round numbers help in the mapping process a lot though,
A 5.12M pavement will look a bit odd next to a 5M wide static object for example.

These things are really good additions. Great mate!
I'll give you a prize if you can make a transparent ramp for it!

Friggin awesome , took you long enough

Now all we gotta do is finish god damn Daruntay and start the shitty city

Hey Dude yeah it's got bump mapping, I just used the nvidia normal map plugin with the default settings I should probably mess around with the settings a bit... The original pic had doggy object placement so took better shots the second one is lightmapped.

I was thinking of chamfering the edges on the joins by .06m kinda like the afghan houses, so when you join them it will be 5 m

I only started making it 2 days ago... The quicker you make the town the quicker the map will be made

Looking good.

Yeah but we've been talking about this object for ages. Anyway we'll have to see when the colour map is ready don't forget and maybe those apartments I was talking about would be nice to include and then after we've done the major objects, the colour map and the veg (which I reckon will take ages and be annoying and crash the editor multiple times) we're still gonna have a shit load to do

Anybody know of any good tuts on how to make lods for maximum viewing distance?
I just followed the ea tut which didn't mention how...
Is it something like cloning lod0 and renaming it lod1?
Also when I export What paths do I use for my textures?
Something like: /objects/staticobjects/pr/textures/new_sidewalk_de.dds
sorry for the n00b question...
The sooner I find out the soon I'll finish

Now with added Sewers and manhole!!!
I'm hoping to make destructible manhole covers...






Could someone tell me how big a texture file I can use for the sidewalk?
I was thinking 1024-1024 is that ok?
A bit of topic but I'm also trying to model the AA12 which I'm finding to be quite hard...being a noob and all.
Check it

Why not make it a triggerable manhole cover rather than destructable?

It'd be more realistic seeing manholes used correctly than being blown up.

Lookin' good tho.
