Gaza teamwork & potty training
Posted in: Modeling
Posted 2009-09-28 at 21:42 by Z-trooper

[R-DEV]ZZEZ is going a long way to make the upcomming Gaza map as immersive as possible.
This required doing a series of ambient statics that I and a group of different PR team members set out to create.
As always I did the modeling, UV mapping, exporting ect but nearly all of the motives are made by:

[B]Tester: elemanoel
[R-COM]'s: VoXiNaTiOn, Scot
[R-DEV]: Matrox[/B]

[I]Sorry guys I wasn't able to use all of them due to my pallet set up :) but great effort and all of you got at least one ingame ;) Special thanks to elemanoel who did a whole lot of them and in great quality[/I]

As I have been working with [B][COLOR="DarkOrchid"][R-CON]motherdear[/COLOR][/B] on several subjects and he is making good progress on some small tasks (too small for a highlight, hehe) I have included a little message from him :) Enjoy

Since I became included in the contributor fold I have been busy finishing the uvw of the AAVP7A1 and doing my first static, a 'port-a-loo'.

During the process of creating this static (my first complete one) I learned a lot that will hopefully come to good use for the future of PR and my own career ;)
One of these lessons is ALWAYS CHECK YOUR SCALING.

This small problem bothered me for a few days, I couldn’t understand why my model would not show textures in the editor, turned out it was so big that the fog distance hid the colors from sight :P

And to finish off here are the lods and cols for those of you that are interested and would like to enter into the realm of asset and static creation. This is one of the things that I have never done before, and therefore was very interested in for asset creation and I often asked myself these questions (what kind of tri reduction should you have ? what is the typical falloff range ? what does the different cols do ? etc)

    Please tell me the port-a-potty door can be opened and closed like the door on Ghost Train. That would be hilariously awesome.
