France for Flashpoint !

[VladAlex 0]

Hello everyone !

I am the leader of a crazy project: create ultra realistic environement based on the reality. For the moment I try to recreate the very touristic Presqu'île d'Arvert on the Atlantic coast (some of you should know Royan or La Palmyre).

In order to help others addon maker to create real environnement i am making a HUDGE low poly building pack. Low Poly because my hopes are to place undred and undred of object.

Here is a screen of random individual house

And, because i am very very fine i offer you a template for Wrptool : NORMANDIE ! Based on .dem values. In real scale ( 100 km). I hopes you could use this to make great maps of this very known area. Normandie 100 km for Wrptool

Here is a link to my website (incomplete for the moment)

How many buildings are you planning to do?

I've gathered some experience with creating large numbers of buildings (100+) and can recommend a modular system. Like doing a couple of basic layouts for the walls of 1-story houses in different sizes (already including doors and windows). Than do a couple of second-story parts and different roofs. For greater variety you can add little sheds, other extensions, gutters, chimneys, etc. Before putting everything together you should have already textured the single parts. Of course one shouldn't put all textures for one house on one file. Instead one could make a texture library with like different types of wall textures, doors, windows, roofs, etc. and just share these with every modell.

This way one can easily make hundreds of individual houses (with ~200-350 polys in the first Lod, 2nd Lod with ~50 polys and Geo Lod). Than you can of course give each modell different texures and enhance the variety even more.

This is how that could look:

Port Stanley example

Be aware that this is an extremly boring and time taking work.

That is exaclty that i'm doing since 3 days. Yes its a little bit borrrrrring. But at final, its loock very much realistic !

Should i find your work somewhere ? Or it is still in working ?

It's in the works, he's working for Flashpoint in the Falklands mod.
