Architectural WIP

[Drakeotic]

hey keep up the good work,:bounce:

[Crash]

very nice Theta :) I see it's not only spacecrafts your handy at :), hard to give some useful advices now, maybe just one, Keep up :thumbsup: Greetz and long live the RTK dream, it's dead but still it ws a dream :) :beer:

[PaulSchoeni]

That's some nice stuff. I am doing some architectural modeling myself, so your image makes for good reference. Nice!

[artista3d]

That's pretty good, man! :thumbsup:

But I wonder what a building like that is used for...

[Theta-Dot]

Thanks guys! I have my max class tomorrow and then the weekend, so I hope to finish this sucker up and get you some purty renders.

Crash: The dream ain't dead man. Just renew it every once in a while, get a few people to get a few models done, let it die, do it again and again, and you'll end up with all kinds of stuff :)

Check back in 2 or 3 days!

Very nice modeling! Great work.

[protohiro]

:bounce: That is really nice. Just a fantastic looking model. God I wish I was still a student with lots of time to work on personal projects!

[Theta-Dot]

Does anybody have any suggestions on how I should texture it? What you see there is just something I slapped on, I never really thought about what I want to really do with it. I'm lost :)

very groovy
i like it alot :buttrock:

[Undseth]

Fascinating!!!

Can you tell a little about how you modeled that dome of yours!?!

[Theta-Dot]

This is done in max 5, btw.
There isn't any bump mapping on the dome, I just divided it up into segments, and as I moved up the dome I tapered the rectangles and ovals more and more, and set them inside. The ridges are extruded from the dome itself, then detached so I could model it more seperately, and apply a different greeble modifier to it (which I still have to tweak for many of the objects... maybe I'll even just switch over to bump mapping). I hope that explains it.

Texturing begins tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to it :) I prefer just modeling stuff.

[Melinko]

How long does this take to render a single frame?

[Theta-Dot]

For that image (#3) the render time was about 18 minutes. I had the light tracer set to 1 bounce at 35 rays. But really... if I turned off the greeble and optimized some of those objects it really could be a lot less.

[Theta-Dot]

Hmm.... I take it that because I haven't recieved the ton of replies I was expecting.... you all like it! :shrug: Perhaps I should post this in the CGarchitect.com site?? Is that where it belongs or something? ohwell. I'm gonna texture it as soon as I figure out how.

[pluMmet]

I agree that it's not getting the credit it deserves. It's very good!:beer:

[Theta-Dot]

I'm reviving this because... well I'm bored. What do you guys think for texturing? Procedurals???

And doesn't that dirt plugin let me create dirt around where parts meet?
