Mark's Stock Galaxy Bridge Remix :)

[Nx-809]

open it with max 2011 and work without conversion to .obj

Vray Render in max 11


In-game without lightmap

[eclipse74569]

well, I see there's some tweeking that definitely needs to happen before this can go in game...

[CyAn1d3]

Wow....
Seriously...it looks better with VRay than ingame LOL

well the lightmaps give it that "life" of lighting and shading ingame that Vray essentially did in the render..

if done proper, it TRULY sets off a room

LOL Yeah I know...this is why I wouldn't attempt it

JUST checking.

its not that hard.. its just every time ive tried to bake textures through max.. i get memory errors.

then again, ive ALWAYS modded through laptops.... i need to build a tower dammit.

anyhoo. the models are in capable hands now  ;)

GAH...every time I think I hit quote I accidently hit "Modify" Damnit I just want to quote....[/endrant]

Yeah, I really have to hand it to you bridge and ship guys....I only hope to achieve what you guys accomplish...this is why it's taken so long to build my model of the Titan (I want my own verision, however I've had a great deal of fun with converting Kophjaeger's Titan....now if I can just motivate myself to finish her).  I really would LOVE to learn how to model and texture/lightmap a bridge...

if i did video tutorials, they would REQUIRE headphones for the random profanity that is in my environment.... and what i myself verbally produce... wich accounts for 80% of it all.


but as pickles says...

max should work fine, even on a core solo/1GB min setup, as long as don't ask it to do too much    Best advice on baking lightmaps is not to make them too big. 256 grayscale should be fine as standard. I'd only want 512 and/or colour for areas where might want more definition or light effect - say, floors or walls, and even then you can prob shrink that 512 down without losing quality (as we all know, upscaling is bad  )

This is for eclipse.

I've got it now in max now thanks to CyAn1d3.

I have some work to do to it beforeI can get it into Max 3

I had to repair some smooth groups and replaced the side panels. but here it is.

[baz1701]

Double post, Most of the Vray re-established.

[JB2005]

The top one's incredible! It could almost be a photograph of the real set!

[Bren]

The forward edges of the helm and ops consoles could use some smoothing, but otherwise, as has been noted - the vray renders are photo-real.

Thats not a smoothing error. I know an overlapping/loose vert when I see one lol.
Smoothing polys dosnt throw off the mapping like that.

[baz1701]

Rebuilt the doors and added a ready room set. The existing doors would not have worked well will Walk FX

[eclipse74569]

Hey Baz, don't forget to put lights on the captains chair where the arm rest/panels are (bottom part those six sided white parts)!

[baz1701]

I did not care to much for the default command chairs and have replaced them (though stuck to the original texture)

Next I'll rebuild the Ops and Helm seats.

[Jb06]

The chairs look miles better, great work baz!

[CyAn1d3]

are you actually modeling the ready room?

[baz1701]

Not sure about the ready room.

New OPS and Helm chairs

[JimmyB76]

that just looks utterly amazing!!  i do hope we can get it working ingame...
it may be rather easy, actually; im assuming it can use all the same anims and character scripts and locations that the stock gal bridge uses...
