3D Max Hammerite cathedral

[Bikerdude]

what about importing from the UT version of the cathedral..?

[Baddcog]

he didn't offer that one

[Bikerdude]

er whats the UT 2004 file thats in there..?

[Baddcog]

probably that model packed for unreal. it says ut2 though, not sure which version its for.

[Fidcal]

Doh, now how did i miss that...

 

Ok this thing is huge, 100Mb model, DR was still trying to preview when i gave up waiting and closed DR..

If you mean the model preview, try instead: create a small model of anything then change its model path/name by typing it in, completely bypassing the model preview.

[Baddcog]

the file I got was 88,000 polys, so it'll take awhile.

[SiyahParsomen]

If anyone still wants to work on it, I'll upload it as blender file. (~60mb)

 

[Shadowhide]

@SiyahParsomen: who made that ?

Digital Nightfall made it. He released complete cathedral only in unreal map format. So that, I just exported it from map.

someone should texture and cut in ~30 parts

Yeah, I already looked at it, but it's pretty raw.

 

It looks great like that, but if you really zoom in and look at useable pieces they just aren't there. And what's there still needs uv'ed, textured, etc...

If I was going to all that trouble I'd just build the stuff specifically for TDM, with TDM textures, etc..

 

Plus it's not useable as an enterable building like that, you'd have to replace walls with worldspawn, etc..

[SiyahParsomen]

yeah, there's amount of work to do and fps killer in any way. I believe it's most suitable for a decal as building facade after a rough texture mapping.

Hilarious impractical suggestion of the day:

 

Use that model for a bunch of normal maps on a lower poly version. It's the Doom 3 way.

 

 

That was your hilarious impractical suggestion of the day. Tune in later for the "advice" to setup better water behavior via scripted FUNC_PENDULUM's (etc )...

lol. At least I'm trying to add something to mod instead talking smarty.

[nbohr1more]

I figured someone would get a chuckle out of that.

 

Seriously, I'd hang on to this anyway. You never know what Doom 3 will be like after it goes GPL... this might not be the performance nightmare we see it as now.

[SiyahParsomen]

Another problem on performance is about model's optimization. While some parts are over detailed, some parts are rough. I don't even mention unnecessary polys.

not UE3 nor Cryengine
