Indeed, I'm pretty sick of seeing all the same assets repeated constantly, I don't think I'd even bother trying to make a map if I couldn't create exclusive assets for it, and since no one else is making buildings I guess I'll have to do it myself. 1 hour ago, Rich_R said: Those are some impressive looking shots!  what frames were you getting with the density of buildings seen in the pics? There's an FPS counter on the bottom right in the screens, but that's not indicative of anything because they don't have any resolution LODs yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich_R   1087 Posted September 6, 2021 Seen, thanks!  75 FPS with the denser layout and without lod’s, nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being able to see the full process from start to finish would help me, and I’m sure some others, over the finish line.  Genuinely, your work in ARMA is inspiring to me. I really appreciate all the work you put out for the community.   Some of my Experiments (pretty rough though) Spoiler   4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definately do not give up on these as I know the mapping community is starving for new architecture. What kinda style are you going for? As for timelapse, dunno, that would be some work on it's own to setup so for now it's not really something I'm planning, also I have bad workflow habits and wouldn't want to really share that and have people interpret it as the way to do things. I'm pretty scatter brain when working so I'm all over the place. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty scatter brain when working so I'm all over the place.  Im realy into the indochina conflicts and even though there are quite a few good maps like cam loa nam or bluds PKL, there arnt a lot of urban assets from that region.  As for the workflow, i think the main issue i currently have is not knowing whats expected texture wise in relation to Arma. like what size, how many, what goes on what texture (Exterior walls, Roof, Interior?) Also detail, do i have model a door, shutter or roof tile and bake the detail. Or can i just use an img texture?  Not realy being familiar with the details of texturing, just makes me second guessing myself constantly. Which doenst realy help moving forward.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wsxcgy   1960 Posted October 19, 2021 I was thinking the same thing. with a lot of these structures, by just retexturing them from cement/mud to red brick or cinder blocks and they could pass for india, south america, africa even, just about anywhere in the developing world. shaping up to be a rather versatile collection of buildings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll look into it.  Man these look stunning. Youll have to forgive me as I know nothing about Arma building design but i do know that the more House Positions -generally the better. Is it hard and or possible to add positions directly next to murder holes as well as all the windows? AI mods can kinda take over from there to an extent if the position is baked in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
