Minas Tirith Project || Part 2

[Ollarin]

Janssen, would it be possible to have another reference for 3-rf-05?

The one you gave me is great, though, i can’t seem to workout if its one or two buildings, and. If the right side of the building is stepped.

Thanks! Sorry for the inconvenience.

hi Aragorn26282, it´s really dificulto to make a low poly version of our buildings, not really for reducing the mesh (any aplplication coud do it more or less ok) the really problem is the management of textures, and the all “auxiliary” thinks of a game mod proyect, like the texture (each engine have their limitations), shadow map, groups, objetcs, collision mesh… etc etc.

That might be considered anodher diferent proyect than ours, sorry.

You are right
No problem

PJanssen…Are all of these buildings in the picture here the same building?

It looks to me like this style of building was repeated a couple of times on the original Minas Tirith model.

Yeah it seems like it. It happens with other buildings too, they are copied a few times throughout the city.

I fear that this is the only one that I have. Sorry.

@Pjanssen…Hey, Yes please!! I would love another building to model…Would it be possible if you could pick one for me??

How about 2-rf-14 on this ref:http://picserver.org/view_image.php/PLP55J15A50R/picserver.jpeg ?

Pjanssen…Cool, thanks for the building, will get to it…:)

I started working on the Hallows today. Ha-17 exterior is done, maybe I’ll do the interior (the tomb where Denetor tries to burn Faramir) too, but I’m not sure yet because it contains a lot of statues. On this screenshot is the beginning of Ha-16 too.

I need some help, call me plz, I really want do something in this project :

[saurabhbel109]

i am much impressed by your modelling but i think that space accomodation should b shown still more in detail and but the work is really amazin.

[Thorin_Deathrage]

WOW! I must say, this project rocks!

I discovered your project half a week ago, and DL’ed the demo yesterday.
When i ran the demo on my comp today, i had over 440 fps when looking at the entire city,
i think that is good and i was NEVER under 70 fps…

My comp:
2,8 Ghz P4 (NOT clocked)
512mb ram (400Mhz)
Atlantis Radeon 9800 PRO 128
clockrate: CPU: 400mhz, memory: 320mhz
Orig: CPU: 320mhz, memory: 280mhz

I didnt think MY comutar was THIS good, a friend of mine didnt have OVER 70 fps, and he has allmost the same comp, but a graphics card for half the prize

Pjansen, and all of the team: GOOD WORK, the details in the Great Hall and the library are GREAT! Keep it UP!

my first visit here.I dont say much very good project.I like the arc models.

Would you like to see my 2D Challenge City concepts & Creatures pls crit.

@PJANSEN : What about that alternate project we were talking about. Are you still thinking about it.

[Pjanssen]

I received an email considering this project via CGTalk from someone today, but I accidentaly deleted it because I thought that it was a pm and it could be viewed online. Could this person send it again please ?

@Ciphar: I’m afraid that there isn’t enough animo to start it yet. We will at least need a very dedicated and motivated leader for this alternative project.

@saurabhbel109: What exactly do yo mean with the ‘space accomodation’ ?

@Thorin Deathrage: The type of videocard is one the most important things for the viewer’s fps. So when yours is twice as fast, it explains why your fps is much higher.

I don’t know if anyone has brought this up before or anything but I was watching disk 3 ( miniatures I think it was) in RotK and it showed part of the Minas Tirith first floor plan that you might be able to work off of.
Sorry if this has been mentioned before.

[Ollarin]

Mello.

I have some rather bad news (On my part.). Right now, i’m very busy, with studying and stuff, and next month, i’ll most probably be taking a certification in 3D animation, so i’m also preparing myself for that.

My point is, i just don’t have any free time left to model these buildings anymore. (Not like i modelled alot, anyways. :/)

With my sincerest apologies. I wish you guys the very best, and i will keep following this project. To see how it’s moving along.

Here’s an attachement for what i’ve already done for building 3-rf-05. It’s not much at all, just the starting, but, just incase you need it.

[Pjanssen]

Ok I understand. It’s too bad that you can’t continue on the project, but I understand that you’ve got to set priorities.

Keep in touch with the project

@Tornadic: I saw it too. but unfortunately it’s only the very top, and that’s the only part that we’ve nearly finished So it won’t be of much use. But thanks for mentioning it.

[Pjanssen]

Admiral Ra, I think something went wrong with the exporting. I can import the .obj in max, but it doesn’t contain anything… maybe that you could have a look at it?

[Ollarin]

Thanks for understanding Janssen.

When i do have free time, maybe i could come in and do a building or two?

Wierd thing about the file, it crashed when it was imported into C4D too. :S

I cleaned it up in Wings, and now it seems to import fine. So, here it is.
