I should mention, however, that if you have an alpha channel on the texture, both sides will be visible and have correct collision, I think. Look at nab2_prop_fence01.

Nope.

nab2_prop_fence01 is a double sided object. Polygons are in the same place on each side, just reversed.

I'm pretty sure its single sided, but I take back what I said that alpha channels make both sides of the same face visible.

To test this, I put a simple alpha channel on the nab2_bldg_arch05.tga (the door). I selected a simple circle on the middle of the door, inverted the selection, and saved the alpha. Then I hex edited nab2_prop_door.msh to accept the alpha channel. Then I looked at the door in the MSH Viewer. Because this door actually has two faces visible from the opposite direction (so that people could see a door on either side of the object), I could see a circle in the door missing on each side.

On the other hand, the stock nab2_prop_fence_01, which already has an alpha channel, can only be viewed in the MSH Viewer from only one side. However, ingame, you can see both sides. This tells us that the fence has only one face, but has a special property that allows for viewing from both sides ingame.

But I think we've strayed offtopic.

These aren't as good as some of the other models i've seen in this topic, but here are some corridors i've been working on for a map.

Those are pretty good, actually.

Thanks

yeah those are good, whats your map gonna be based on?

The corridors are based off of TimeSplitters 3, and the map is based off a design my friend came up with while fooling around in the map editor of the same game.

Just been working on a model of Helms Deep and have just finished the keep
Being the slow perfectionist that i am this alone took me about 3-4 hours . i based it off this pic : Here's the model so far......i have yet to get a good texture though....: As you may have noticed, i changed things around a bit behind the keep entry, adding a spot for snipers up the top....

EDIT: ok i just reloaded the page and couldn't see my pictures so i'll just add the link here:

looks good, but i would invert the polies so they are all white, or else you wont be able to see them ingame

Heres my first (i hope not hopeless) attempt in modeling, it's a simple base, hope you like it.

That's pretty cool. Personally, I don't think that the seamed metal texture looks good. It's too... repetitive, and way too straight. I really like it, otherwise.

EDIT:
a Blender render of my finished corridor. not as good as the original image, but it suffices.

That looks amazing.

So I've been trying around a few, heres my result
any suggestions or tips?

(especially for the textures, you know some that fit?)

Whoa It is awsome , what is this ?

Thanks. But, Blender renders make everything look amazing

wow. That's... amazing...

For textures, that line pattern overlaid on SketchUp's metal_rough texture might look good.
Where'd you get that texture, by the way?

Edit: *looks back* Uh-oh.. Someone used SketchUp circles..and SketchUp arcs..
Just a sugesstion, but if that's gonna go ingame, you might want to halve the circle/arc count.

SketchUp circles kill the poly count...

Those buildings look awesome.

ok I'll try that one out, thanks. The texture I'm using atm is a reskin of a bespin texture

I'm not sure if i'll ever use this, since its actually just a test to get a hand for the tools. But if i will, I'll defenetly look after this.

thanks for the comments

Quick tip; after pressing on the arc/polygon tool button, use your keyboard to insert how many edges you want that arc/polygon to have(number 3-20, if I remember correct, look in the down right corner). Then press enter, et voìla!

What planet is this?

Woah. No idea what planet that's from.. but that's awsome.

Try hiding the lines for a better picture, though(shift + eraser)

It goes WAAY over 20, i just tried entering 300 and it works for both arc and circle
