hmm i dont know how long this will last, as ill probs get bored and give up (although im kinda forcing myself not to)

but i woke up this morning and thought fudge it, why not =]

10mins in and heres what ive got so far:




updates as they come i suppose...

nice, but I think it would look more realistic if the buildings were not multi coloured and had windows, doors etc. So they are user friendly

I think this is more life-like...

rofl so true

another quicky:

quick vray

Cool, where are the penguins?

what are u doing this with?

3dmax

Its like Michael Bentines Potty Time....!!!

Oh nevermind.....

i guess i need to start trying to use my 3dmax so i can get used to it.

its a very steep learning curve so believe me, start as early as you can

but im happy to help with any questions =]

i'm sure i'll have alot!!!

good luck creating the textures for the buildings.
you'd have to screen cap them in game, then flatten them out. tons o work. can't think of an easier way to do it.
i had to do that in uni for my showreel when i had a bit of a 3d city bit.

of course as soon as you have textures on there it will look infinitely better.

yes, completly untextured, will do that at the end

half of the reason im doing this actually is to get my texturing skills up a level

as far as screen capping each one, heh no.

ill do my own textures from scratch, complete with my personal touch.



but of course ive gotta finish modelling it yet ;p

right if your trying to get better at doing textures then i guess doing your own would be the best way

of course your own textures will make it not look like karkand..

projection textures or what?

why will my own textures not make it look like karkand....

ur just weird

thats like saying the goldeneye mod for hl2 doesnt look like goldeneye from n64... [ http://goldeneyesource.com/ ]



ill use whats there as a guideline... and do my own thing

of course it CAN look like it..
but I have strong feelings towards you not putting enough effort in to doing that

I ask again,
what method to making the textures?

i dont really no what kind of answer your after, didnt no there were different names for texturing styles...


can tell you itll be mainly photoshop/bitmaps for buildings,

grass/ground most liekly done in max, with the exception of cobbles/brick roads etc

who knows until i actually do it tho

hmm so long since I've checked the site (very busy in work and a pay review in the next couple of weeks)

Just a quick point, if you wanted quick and easy textures then load them up in the bf2 map editor and use them from there (saves having to screen cap in game )

ive never played with the level editor, would be cool if you could import ur own models...

hmm now theres a thought

wouldn't that be kinda like building a mod?

no it would be like building my own level

except theres no point as karkands already built

ive had an idea on doing a low poly version and sticking it in shockwave tho
