Post by: minetus on March 26, 2006, 09:44:02 pm: the middle square is a room inside the stallagmite, those dots are pillars, and on the side there\'s stairs that lead up to the upper lvls and maybe to a underground cave.. =D

The perspective is a bit skewed, minetus, so it\'s somewhat hard to figure out what view you are looking at - whether front, bird\'s eye, sideways, etc. :) There are some really awesome tutorials and short explanations about perspective around, a very important thing when you are drawing architectural elements, so give them a Google whenever you have time.

i tink it will be better to just make a lvl illustration of it, describing the the lvl bases in the stalagmite..

but i may just has well make a few adjustments in the drawing later =), thanks for the input.

Post by: minetus on April 21, 2006, 07:28:05 pm: i got a question.. maybe someone can awser...

when modeling for games whats better?

make a diferent object for diferent materials/map images?

or make diferent elements in the same object for diferent materials/map images?

not that i know how to aply uv mapping but anyway ill eventually learn it :D

edit: another question =P

when modeling (ex:. buildings) faces that are in the midle of 2 walls should they be kept or erased?
Title: Re: the shadow citadel
Post by: Inca Sator on May 02, 2006, 10:48:20 pm: Do not dived object to elements! Assign different materials/maps to needed faces and:
assign Mesh Select modifier to mesh, then in this modifier in face-level choose every faces with the same material and uvw mapping. Keeping faces selected assign to'em UVW map modifier or UVW unwrap. After that you can assign Mesh Select to another group of faces and then apply to them another UVW mapping. And so on many-many times. It dosent matter how many modifiers you have in modifier stack. Good Luck.

Post by: reisio on May 03, 2006, 03:38:32 pm: um...I think it's way sweet and if they added something based on it into the game some day I'd be way jazzed about it? :D
