The only texture on the model that is going to be on the final product is the texture that makes the seats. The field texture is a guide so you can get an idea how the field will fit into the stadium

So, since the stadium is on hold, I started a new project last night. Let there be progress:

These are just base textures, so please refrain from commenting that the textures are bland

Laid out a texture for the roof. Still have detailing to do on it, plus roof junk.

Nice roof texture

Amazing building

Pat · November 07, 2008, 11:10:27 AM

very stunning job on the building so far XD!!!

XiahouDun · February 25, 2009, 02:23:13 AM

Just wanted to let people know that these projects aren't abandoned. Using a new computer now, and going to get back to BATing some. Thinking I'll finally finish up my houses...

Pat · February 25, 2009, 04:09:44 PM

oooo Swwweet XD!!! I cant wait to see the new stuff!!

XiahouDun · June 11, 2009, 05:50:04 AM

Revive my little thread

Ok, no new previews, just me getting bored and having some fun. I've gone HD:

Seeing my house that clear makes me notice some shortcomings in my skills. Though that second parking lot prop... really makes me want to rerender all of them into HD

Pat · June 11, 2009, 09:43:56 AM

ooooo Eric those are stunning in HD!!!

XiahouDun · June 11, 2009, 01:28:18 PM

Thanks Pat

I like the idea of HD props, but will wait till someone makes a tool to make them with. I am scared I'll mess them up.

XiahouDun · June 11, 2009, 09:21:53 PM

It really wasn't that much different from a normal render in Gmax, not sure how much is different in 3dStudio.

Quite a notable difference.

Even on Zoom 5 if lookts better

I think the 7kb difference between the two files is well worth it. If that ratio stayed the same for every prop in the pack, it would go from 410kb to 615kb.

Pat · June 11, 2009, 11:02:45 PM

not to big of a diffrence at all there Eric to go HD and man its worth it for sure!!

XiahouDun · June 26, 2009, 09:33:14 PM

A question for someone that may have the answers. What are some prop packs that have light cones in them? I remember Peg's Mountain Theme pack had one, but what are some others?

Chrisadams3997 · June 26, 2009, 10:18:56 PM

Hey, great to see you back!

thought I'd chime in on the HD thing real quick. A good idea to go off on the subject is that small props that need the extra detail are good candidates, though buildings are a harder sell, for examples why, check Ennedi's post Here, and further, Tage's post Here. Due to the types of degredations potentially seen in buildings it's advised to limit HD renders to smaller props where detail is important and are small enough to be unimportant in further zooms, which will additionally also save considerably on file sizes since the increases in size are minor for the smaller props well suited to HD renders.
