Map Maker Models - The List [with links to concept images]

The following is a list of all the models which are needed for the mapmaker (at this point).

If modelers can post when you start/finish a model I'll keep this post updated so we don't have a large amount of duplicate work going on.


Textures

Textures for these models can be found here. If you make your own textures, please use .PNG format. Also, be sure to check out the textures thread.

Format

First read This.

The 3D modeling program we are using is Blender

Video Tutorials
Noob to Pro Guide

Scaling

"Each square is 400x400 units at the base. If you make a cube 400x400x400 units, the walls are three of those stacked on top of each other. Tables are as high as one of those blocks."

Current Status (Up to date as of pg. 14)

Red = incomplete

Stickied! You rock. Are you using XenHook or the likes to get a 3d view in Xen?

A few are up now.

I've been using the mapmaker and individually putting them up against a black background at different sizes (at least one is always to scale) and angles.

This list is definitely coming along! I'm going to upload the textures in a ZIP file so our modelers have a resource for these static models.

Alright. I'll probably finish the links tonight too, I'm looking forward to using map maker v3. Past two days I was at home so I couldn't work on those, but I did read a lot of blender tutorials.

Do we have a standard for have many blender units the typical wall size is? Right now I'm just making the base take up one 1 square BU, but I'm not sure how high to go.

I've been busy moving to another apartment, but I've got some free time, as my work project is almost finished, so I'm gonna start working on PV again.

I've been getting better at modeling, but still not too terribly great at it, but like I said I am improving gradually, so I'll see what i can pump out.

Awesome! I had wondered where you were :wink:

Yeah my lease was up on my house and so i had to move into an apartment.
I don't technically have internet right now, but thanks to some computer-illiterate neighbors and an open wireless connection, i can post here =P

just finished up adding the images. I probably missed one or two things on the list, so if anyone notices something isn't there, let me know.

well regrettably I'm no good with blender, but I make models using Gmax. and its free I dunno if I can convert models into what the format that you can use

PostPosted: Tue Feb 06, 2007 12:09 am
by thadiusofx3
what formats can you export to?

I think i read Gmax can only export to some plasma (.p3d) format
