Upcoming Models

[ShackAttack12]

Lets keep it ON TOPIC guys.... take all of your trash talking,bickering, and whatever to the off topic forums... this topic is cluttered with so much useless junk that i just had to go through and clean up.

Looks better. Do they look any different in game though?

Ya. As I said, the reflections are much neater, and the side number plates have much better curvature, and produces its own shading alot better

[tyskorn]

Cool.Sounds nice.

Mhmm. The shrouds could use a clean up. At least, there is something very funky going on with the faces there. You can clearly see that in the last ingame shot you've shown us.

At all times, you could keep your mesh "flowing". Even if that means a extra polygon or two.

So yeah, I sorta ignored this statement at first, but with the shaders now in the game, it was completely correct. So, I decided to clean up the plastics on both the YZF and YZ, and it has made every aspect of the shading (diffuse, specular and reflections) much cleaner. And has also allowed me to curve the rear number plates much better. Here is a before and after shot of the fixed faces. You can sorta see from these shots the change it has made on the shading

I will update all my models once i get the specular and normal maps done (which is happening extremely slowly). I'll try and clean up a few other things while I'm at it (the linkage for one)

You can really tell a difference on the plates and shrouds/tank on both bikes. Did you add or delete any polys/verts or just move around existing ones?

This motivates me to continue my 125 skin .

[DJ99X]

Yeah, I think there has been an increase of 200ish triangles on both bikes, which is totally worth it

[yzmxer608]

Ah ok, that's not too big of an increase, well worth it.

Beginnings of the Lucas Oil Stadium, which will house Indianapolis 2010.

So once you are done, it will be one big object in game? Or will it be split into peices like previous stadiums.

[Wilson]

Use the bend modifier?

[DJ99X]

Nice. Splitting it up would probably make it easier to texture

[ddmx]

Yeah, lol, i will wilson. I just duplicated it a bunch and stretched it to make it look like something for a render, hehe.

[ShackAttack12]

Geez, you just started working on it like yesterday dave.... you are crazy.
It's looking pretty nice!

[jesplind]

Just a simple fence first time trying make some sort of a model.

[Duckstream]

this migth not belong here but what program should i use and train on for modelin? 3dmax? blender i cant get anything out (im not shure you even can )
But yeh suggestions? i want to make a bike or a 10-14 year old rider for the game, lots of ppl are smaller than 18 so they mayby want a real sized rider (like themself etc.)

[Mona]

10-14 years old? No. Try 14-17 if anything.
