@David, HI! i'm vincent, i've heard of your legendary WW2 plane modeling skills and your so-so python skills from this really cool guy who comes to your chat room every now and then,

You

Hi, vincent!

ARadish

I had a project i want help with, could you lend me some of your skills (or just help me?)

You

Hey, it worked! :)

David

@ARadish Hi! who told you about me? How did you get started in blender?

You

Aw, no.

David

May 7, 2016 23:36

@ARadish maybe, what type of project are you doing?

ARadish

@David Oh, it was this really awesome guy who models ceramic cats. he asked not to be named. I started blender back like 2 years ago because i was bored

You

I'll try again. You will not star this message!

David

@You that would work if @X-27 was here.

ARadish

@David i'm trying to make a game environment. i don't need help with any of the game, just the environment.

You

Well, let's get @X-27 here!

David

@ARadish cool a game. What type of game? and what kind of environment?

ARadish

@David like i said, no help needed for the game.

You

Well, now I'm actually going to work on my hands and feet. Bye!

ARadish

@David it will be kind of this urbanny underpass area, with traintracks running under a highway

You

(Goodbye for real! :) )

ARadish

I have a place like this near my house, and it was really inspiring

@David the main part will be the area around the bridge, (although i don't need the actual surface of the bridge)

David

@ARadish so your making some kind of free roam set in a city? is it a nice clean city, or a more typical game city (dirty deserted, and dangerous.)

ARadish

@David hopefully, i won't have to make much city. area under bridges can get big enough to be a decent game map by itself.

David

@ARadish so this thing is set under one of those big highway underpass bridges?

ARadish

but it should be on the dirtier side of things

@David yes.

David

so really more kind of like a tunnel (because you only care about the bottom and sides).

ARadish

and then since there should be a stream under the bridge, it should be a pretty deep inclined area down from the side of the intersecting highway. but the stream will be dry

David

May 7, 2016 23:43

I think I get where you are going with this city idea.

ARadish

@David yes, but mostly open to the sky, since the bridge is only so wide

@David i won't have to make the city hopefully....

maybe some buildings in the background, just to add atmosphere, but nothing interactive

David

@ARadish like the LA river en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_River#/media/…

@ARadish probably just the facade of the buildings closest to your bridge.

ARadish

yeah

@David Yes! like that

David

@ARadish awesome, I'm starting to get a picture (maybe) of what you are thinking of.

ARadish

with something like that

and like this

@David :D

David

May 7, 2016 23:47

@ARadish is that kind of your bridge idea you are going for?

ARadish

yes, but not as full of traintracks, and with the inclined area from your picture

David

@ARadish yep, got that

ARadish

@David and you can see those pictures, they are dirty, but not like half-life style dirty

there will be no water though, because water in BGE is a pain

David

tell you what. I'll model up a scene: bridge, river, concrete walls, etc. but no textures (I sadly suck at texturing)

ARadish

cool! thanks!

David

May 7, 2016 23:49

O, one last thing. what kind of vert count are you going for?

ARadish

also, i was thinking, maybe for some variation, there could be some three-sided tunnels grafted into the embankment

@David it's hard to say for a scene this size

David

(I'm more use to "normal" modeling instead of game assets)

ARadish

just, don't like, use verts where they aren't necessary.

David

@ARadish ok, so I do what I can, nothing crazy high or low.

ARadish

yeah

David

May 7, 2016 23:50

It is always easy to make it lower, but not the other way.

ARadish

ok.

did you understand what i meant by "threesided tunel?"

David

PS that more pictures you can post here for ideas of what you are looking for the better.

ARadish

i mean like, it's be open to the gully on one side, and run the length (or at least part of it)

@David ok

David

@ARadish that message made me more confused.

ARadish

ok... one sec

David

May 7, 2016 23:53

I think I know what you are talking about, but we'll see...

waiting the one sec

David

@ARadish so just a little cove in the wall like a cave kind of, but all concrete.

ARadish

yes

David

@ARadish (now so you dont think I just poof off in to the wind like cheese) I'm leaving now, later

ARadish

@David goodbye
