3d village on water - wat do u think??

[minetus]

i tink oja road map would fit in 1.6km square if im not mistaken, and if im not mistaken the scale to ps is 1(ps unit)/ 1m , im not sure tho, could use some insight my self too

about the architecture style, notting specific yet i believe, we did discussed it a lill bit and probably would go around those, again notting specific yet...

coastal stuff research:

can you check if this scale is near accurate? this is what ive been basing it on.

and again thanks for the usefull info

[rast]

wow...too much info to digest...
i see wat you're saying inca. my strengths are the models themselves rather than the texturing. i could probably make the shore houses,but i not great at interiors since my moddeling skills aren't the neatest in the world .

i will try to post more frequentley and try and take more of an active role in this conversation aswell 

p.s. perhaps we could make a seperate thread for finished stuff etc. caus' the name of this thread is kinda misleading....

[minetus]

i supose we could make a new thread, as we going we will beat the max post count per thread soon

[Karyuu]

We can split this thread up into two - so you can have posts pertaining to the original topic remain, and posts from a certain point onward become a new thread. If you'd like to do that, just mention at which point this should be split :>

[minetus]

i tink a resume+new thread would make that better? just my opinion.. insted of splinting the thread up?

[Karyuu]

Your choice :} My vote for the split was only because:

[...] caus' the name of this thread is kinda misleading....

[minetus]

ok im gona make a resume... meanwhile please chose a topic name because i completly suck at that

[rast]

how aboat "klyros city project" or something like that 

i made this anyway as a dock hut thing:


tell me what you think...

edit: 982 polys btw for all of that

[minetus]

sounds good..
your models are getting much better, gratz rast 

ill post the resume here before making a new thread for reviewing it. 1/4th of it still. gona go drink coffee brb

[Inca Sator]

Rast, you definitely got to find info about "smoothing groups" concern your 3d programm. Can you do a screenshot(with ACDSee, for example) or rendering WITH EDGES of your model? I guess the cylinders you using are too much round/smooth - 1 cylinder got to have 15 polygons, no more. And, sorry, dock hut looks like nesting box...

[minetus]

ok posting for revision:
let me know if it needs any changes, additions etc
--------------------------------------------------------------
Story
It all started when "Rast" made a 3d city floating over the water( http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=23164.msg254118#msg254118 ), and after some sketch's and models later it quickly turned into a flying klyros city, meanwhile "Inca Sator" Proposed a challenge to us!!

The Challenge
to create a klyro's city, on the coastal shore of the 6th level of yiliakum, taking in consideration klyros physionomy, Anatomy, and terrain topology.
and reinvent the klyros architecture, and some of its artworks

note:

ALL WE (PS art-squad)WANT: YOUR'S IMPROVEMENTS OF KLYROS ARCHITECTURE STYLE, NEW IDEAS TO IT

this is not a project to implement the city in game!!

Klyro's anatomy, physionomy & Psycology

    * Able to fly
    * Able to breath under water
    * Likes to hung upside down to sleep
    * Weak structure (bones and build)
    * Likes to live near water
    * Eats Fish, Shellfish, and Algae (famous for crab recipes)
    * Skilled with magic but uses it for practical things(not the best at it)
    * Generaly Atheyist
    *

Known Klyro's Architectural, artistic Preferences & way of living

    * Like glassy / Specular Surfaces, Mirrors, Polished materials.
    * Sea decor (spirals, waves,shells,squama, fish bones, etc).
    * Pools.

1. Nomads - simple, mobil structures.Main occupation: trading, grazing, hunting,gathering.
2. Farmers - settled form of living. Simple houses, stores, small shop, elder's buildings. Main occupation: agriculure,animal breeding.
3. Town inhabitants - wide range of buildings, different regions housing (ghetto, plaza,market). Main ocupation: commerce, handicraft, servants etc.

random details

1. walking passage ways: 2.5m height, 2m with. minimum values
2. stairs & steps : 0.3 m height. maximum values

3d models

1. Simple house: 500 poly's
2. Big house: 1500+ poly's
3. Tree: 150 poly's
4. House interiors: 3000 poly's
5. Landscape:

Research folder's:

if anyone wants to add his research, feel free to post the url

The Landscape map
*Subject to change*
Latest Version:

*insert color tag description here*
*insert 2d landscape artwork folder here*

City Details

here will go the city description, details, districts/regions, etc...

[Inca Sator]

And IMPORTANT!!!! Name your city, name streets, districts, houses (like tevern) etc. May be someone think up the history of your amaizing town.

gooooood mooorning vietnam!!
hah...did anyone see that movie? good movie! anyways! soo...rast has the super fun shore houses eh? i guess i'll try and get started with some farms...or maybe just one shore house?...

@ rast... that shore house is good, but did you intrude it? like...is ther and inside to it? i know you said you don't do interiors...but usually i still like to intrude my models...makes 'em look more proffesional i find

@ Inca...are you a 3D modeller yourself? or do you pick all this knowledge up from talking with 3D modellers?...'cause you seem to know ALOT about it! whcih would really prove useful!

@ minetus... what is the big circle on the map? maybe you said what it was earlier but i was really rushing when i read through all the new posts this morning

[Haanz]

Inca! I am in need of your divine knowledge!!!!!

how do you make ladders? i mean a 3D model of a lader that can be climbed? is it just like a set of stairs but you make them really steep but still enough angle on them so they're climable?
