Ouch.

Good luck with the lag. I wish I had some (of the good luck, not the lag).

Mocholate · #64 Posted **Jun 24, 2007, 5:23 PM**

cool: thanks

I was wondering if anyone was interested in doing a city collaboration using all of your existing favorite buildings ? ?
whoever has the fastest PC can take boss status

Perhaps, what do you mean by this? Make a mini-city? Make a diagram like the one Patrick made recently?

Mocholate · #66 Posted **Jun 25, 2007, 4:48 AM**

yeah , a city like we are doing here with all your best buildings merged on one map like the Dubai model but using our own designed ones

i only have a 156mb video card and 578 ram tho , so i cant set it up + 1 of you guys would be better experienced to take control of putting it together .

Its probably been done before and i noticed in the other SSC forum they had one going but it seems to have died

I had a look at Patricks diagram btw , very cool (excpt for missing 2 aussie buildings that rival Q1 )

Sure, I'm up for it if other people are. Perhaps we'll get 2 or 3 of everyone's best? I have an insane computer, so I'll do the hono(u)rs of putting it together, unless someone else would prefer to.

I guess we would have to check the SSC thread to see what probs caused theirs to die , i know the building requirements they set out may have caused it as they asked for to many things like shading rear faces differently- so they dont have to do shadows i think , the main idea i was thinking is just to get a HUGE instant city

rbowk · #70 Posted **Jun 25, 2007, 7:23 AM**

i will help

Mocholate · #71 Posted **Jun 25, 2007, 7:25 AM**

rbowk , very

Peter · #72 Posted **Jun 25, 2007, 3:10 PM**

i will donate some of my buildings to the city.

so what will it be called?

where will it be located?

someone should start a thread!

Mocholate · #73 Posted **Jun 25, 2007, 4:58 PM**

4 so far , we should wait until we have a few more people and then put all our ideas on the table i reckon , hopefully all the SU doodlers here want to join in

so does anyone have any ideas on map , map layout etc ?

this one wont make it in. #1. cos its a bit UGLY and #2. its 4.6 MB

Mocholate · #74 Posted **Jun 25, 2007, 5:11 PM**

that one was more of an experiment i sketched the outline onto a vertical rectangle and used the follow me tool to make the shape , took about 30 mins , the render took 2 hours tho

Patrick · #75 Posted **Jun 25, 2007, 7:31 PM**

4.6mb? YIKES!

Heres my suggestion, instead of doing individual buildings, why not use Textures? They'd speed up the preformance for sure.

And I think you should put more detail in the ground, you know, Trees, Roads. Yadda Yadda.

Mocholate · #76 Posted **Jun 25, 2007, 7:35 PM**

hmm , i like the photo realism , but i prefer to sacrifice image quality for the physical quality and the shadowing it creates

Mocholate · #77 Posted **Jun 25, 2007, 7:37 PM**

i use full textures on some tho ,but generally - like the one above , i used texture for the windows

Mocholate · #78 Posted **Jun 25, 2007, 7:40 PM**

the ground detail will come when im finished also , it will help the proportions of ground objects mostly cos i am not using a square grid pattern + i am doing them now in seperate files

Mocholate · #79 Posted **Jun 25, 2007, 7:42 PM**

i'm not saying i am good at creating physical shapes tho

i will shut up now

Mocholate · #80 Posted **Jun 25, 2007, 7:43 PM**

ok one more thing , my pc is missing registry files which prevent me using any photo editing programs
