a small update about what i intend to do but with more detail.

WIP Iraqi houses.

1600x1200 1600x1200

@Edvri your pic were very inspiring.

any suggestions?

edit: fixed links & typo

That looks very promising Bravo6

the wall sections on the roofs could be a bit higher and maby add

some holes in the wall sections like you see in the pic marked in red

pick:

it would be great to shoot trough such openings don't you think?

but must say that progress so far looks awesome and it wil be an fantastic map when finished, keep on the good work.

yes it will be great.

I promise to build holes in the roof top walls and make them dynamically accessible for AIs aswell.

One thing that i noticed from pictures is that Iraqi buildings have different walls sizes on the roofs.

Some are a little high, the top is almost above the head, and there are also others that are on the belt level.

Ill try to create such diversity for Al Amiriya.

If someone have more details about these walls, please help me out with more extra info.

About the interiors, i agree and i will add windows along the walls. The number of windows will be based on the pictures, since the models are going to be similar.

Though i think i will not elaborate much more the inside, it will be mission maker decision, right?

edit: How about this?

In real life they exist, im not sure about their utility. Maybe its for Air ventilation who knows..

In game pics (while testing)

PS- I have in mind to simulate this on a dry river and I know a exact place to do it (tanks for the idea Henk)

It is still a wip but the idea is the one in the real pic.

Hope to find good textures for this model :\

That is interesting stuff mate

Maybe use some textures from the ruined objects/garbage objects?

Bravo, do you still need more pictures of buildings and such?

yes please

[PTV-Jobo 820]

Roger that. Just got a bunch of various photos together and will check for more. Once I get as much as I can, I'll pack it all up and send it your way.

Yup, i will use those textures

Need to select them well and mix them abit more.

Its still WIP.

Cool, ill wait for them then. All images and models are useful, and surely inspiring.

The crappy damaged bridge look like this atm:

1600x1200

Though still need to fix the AI path on the bridge because it ain't working like in the house models.

Maybe theres a different way of doing it.. Who knows.. Soon Ill find out.

I think it will be more acceptable with some more extra details and some visual fixes.

edit: Another angle:

1600x1200

edit2: Does anyone know and if its possible to make an animation for this precise bridge? I know BIS Original bridges have collapse animation, but i have no idea how to do it. Can anyone point me out to that direction?

[PTV-Jobo 820]

Crappy?! What's crappy about it? Ah don't sell yourself short, man--looks real sweet already.

Maybe roughen up the edges. Right now it's a bit too smooth, like if someone sawed a chunk out and sanded the rough spots out, know what I mean? Like, um....more jagged edges and such, maybe? But then again, I'm an idiot with technicalities and modeling, so I'm not sure if it would cause any negative effects in performance if you go too wild with it? I liked the rods coming out, by the way. Maybe add more of that too?

As far as the pictures, so far I've looked through around 400,000 pages worth (usually 200,000 page results per keyword) in my search trying to find as many pictures of buildings, villages, fencing, gates...basically anything and everything I can muster to help with ideas for you. Going to try finding a bit more things then send it your way--hopefully by tonight sometime. Then of course if I find any more after that, I can always sed them over too.

[bravo 6 0]

These models are just draws..

I have something in mind, and until its done properly they are crappy all the way.

heres a draw of the idea without animation: (ill try to add animation to it)

Check out Kumawar1-2 for Iraqi ambient and buildings, including bridges... I've worked on that project for quite some time

since the search engine is slow like hell and i found 2 Kumawar but none created by you, can you point me to the right one faster, please?

[bravo 6 0]

Betsalel thank your for those images, they are very inspiring!

heres another wip house

I believe this one is similar to one that i already saw in Avgani somewhere, not sure though.

edit: ignore textures, they will be fixed.

[PTV-Jobo 820]

Ahhh brilliant stuff, man. Glad the pictures are serving you well. Like I said, if I find any more interesting pics, I'll be sure to send 'em over. Keep up the great work.

[bravo 6 0]

cool

Does anyone know what kinda buildings are these in this pic?

wikimapia pic

So i can make them as realistic as possible.

edit: I found these for Al Amiriya:

picture "Ferris water tower Day"

picture "Ferris water tower NightVision"

picture "Ferris Town Market"

picture "Ferris Town Mosque"

can anyone post more from this specific area?

Would help alot.

Another quick and small idea of Ferris town in Al Amiriya-Fallujah, WikiMapia.

1600x1200 1600x1200 1600x1200

I intend to build 3, 4 or 5 more white models like those for this Ferris town.

Im happy that i finally can and be able to recreate this town

About the Ferris's Mosque i will fix the textures. In real life the tops are blue.

[Kerry 0]

That Mosque model looks awesome man, im excited for this map, keep it up

[PTV-Jobo 820]

Lookin' really good man!

[bravo 6 0]

Two more wip models

bigger bigger

The street Lamp is just for size comparisons.

bigger

@Betsalel: if you have images from Al Amiriya-Ferris town, send them over

[PTV-Jobo 820]

Yeah I'm trying to find some images--not hitting much of anything on google, might have to find another source to tap and see if I can find anything for ya.
