rubberkite 19 Posted March 25, 2008 Seems really nice!! we will see some like this "classic" building !!! http://www.peressoni.it/images/australia/sydney.jpg have a good work!!! can't wait Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bern 0 Posted March 26, 2008 Hmm, I seem to remember someone volunteered to build that... I did a bit of reading on it before they did, thinking maybe I'd tackle it after the bridge, and it actually wouldn't be an overly difficult job. While the roofline looks very complex & 3D, it's actually just a bunch of spherical sections, all of the same radius (mostly done to make it cheaper to build).

opteryx 1562 Posted March 26, 2008 Aussie What's the cell dimension on your map? Are you getting the bug where you can't select objects in V3, or did you go with larger cells to stay within the cell limit where this bug isn't present? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arh! .... looking again I can see that now ..... neat! And as for building that too Bern ..... at least you dont have to test drive vehicles over it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hailstorm 4 Posted April 27, 2008 Hey Aussie and co. i was looking at the OGN thread, and i was curious about a few things: are you planning to make any country-style buildings, like farmhouses, hay-bale sheds, grain silos etc. to go in your map? also, are all the new buildings (and roads) your making going to be placeable in the map editor? eg, would a mission maker have the ability to extend suburbs, etc. if they wanted to? cheers guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auss 208 Posted September 9, 2008 Its been a while since I updated this thread, so I thought I'd show some WIP of Australia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xav 0 Posted September 9, 2008 Are you working alone on this? It is trully amazing mate! What I really like about your map is the VARIETY of the envirnoment... Incredible! You have cities, jungles, beaches, forest, fields, dams etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auss 208 Posted September 9, 2008 Its been a long process, as anyone thats made an island can appreciate the difficulty of it, especially something of this size. At the moment the lads are working on completing the major cities in each state, unfortunetly RL has meant that some of the work on Key areas like satelite and mask wont be ready for another 6-8 weeks. I've sorted all the problem areas, binarizing and custom clutter etc plus all 15 airports feature autolanding and are AI friendly. All roads are finished (although I still find areas that need dirt roads added..lol) Sydney Opera house has been built but needs texturing and lods added. Theres large areas of Jungles along with a huge swamp lands, and at the other end of the scale 20K plus of deserts in the west. Lastly theres some "secret" areas that you'll have to find amounst dense forests (i've added a pic of one of them) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scubaman3D 0 Posted September 9, 2008 holy crap! I have to admit, when I first read your original post, I thought there was no way you could finish this but it looks like you're proving me wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CameronMcDonald 146 Posted September 9, 2008 Looking great, gentlemen. Keep it up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auss 208 Posted September 9, 2008 Some info on the island: Terrain grid size: 2048 Terrain Cell size: 20 Meters Texture Layer size: 40x40 Meters I experimented for many weeks until I found the above combination gave me stabilty and very good FPS at increased View Distance. The pics in the last post were taken with approx 6000 VD Orignally I used 4096 by 10 Meter cells but encountered the dreaded V3 Object bug. Object count: 276,000 6 Major Airports and 9 smaller grassy/desert airstrips Over 500Km roads Lots of new addons and custom sounds but I dont want to give too much away Oh and were always looking for Island makers to lend a hand building cities. If you have experience in V3 and would like to help please PM me the more the merrier!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
layne_suhr 0 Posted September 9, 2008 Why do you have a Minaret in Sydney??? There aren't minarets anywhere in Australia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was toying with the idea of making a big Mosque in Sydney but hadn't deleted it when that pic was taken. But you never know I may just stick it back in..lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
