Hello

[Kyriakos]

Hi, i am new here

I have some knowledge of 3d modelling, and i was wondering how i can turn one of my ancient greek models into a working file for this game.

I use Bryce 6, but i can also create in 3dsmax.

The game looks very good, by the way

Hi Kyriakos. As far as I know, you need to convert your models to COLLADA (*.dae) format. I think, this doc can be useful for you.

[Kyriakos]

Thank you fcxSanya. I will give it a try once i have the model ready in 3dsmax, since these exist in Bryce currently

Welcome, Kyriakos! How did you hear about 0 A.D.?

Hi

I was looking for greek buildings to model for a Civilization 3 city set, and saw a pic of the game. So i followed it to the site

By the way im not sure if you can spot the resemblance, but the fort (top image) was modelled after the greek fort of 0 AD:

That are some pretty neat models. And I think the resemblance is striking.

I agree, very nice miniatures!

[AuroN2]

Just keep modding, modding, modding, what do you do? mod till its all good and done dundun

[Mythos_Ruler]

Neat. Have any higher res renders?

[Kyriakos]

I rarely make larger models, since Civ3 uses static gfx. But i can do it i guess.

These are some buildings of the Byzantine era, for example:

There is great stuff in your Civ3 libraries. The buildings look very unique for each set and strike a good resemblance to their historical counterparts, as far as I can tell. Great!

Btw you disabled your personal messages?

As far as I know personal messages is disabled for new members (for anti-spam purposes). Probably it is turned on automatically after some messages count or time. Someone from forum administrators can enable them in any moment.

[Kyriakos]

Thanks SMST

No, i didnt disable them, and i now checked and it seems i can accept pms.

Edit: fcx is right.

yes, a member has to have more than 5 posts to send and receive PMs.

[SMST]

Ah, okay. That explains it, thanks. Should work now though.

Edit:

I overlooked the word "more" in Shield_Bearer's post. Is there anything you could add to this topic, Kyriakos?

Edited October 1, 2010 by SMST

[Kyriakos]

Yes In fact i just did...

[SMST]

It seems as if you're still unable to recieve messages.

[Kyriakos]

I cannot find the pm managment window anywhere, so i gather one has to post more before it becomes available?

[Shield Bearer]

hmm...maybe i was wrong. the link to the PM manager is in the upper right corner, below "Calendar".

[Kyriakos]

All i see there is the "my assistant" option.

Perhaps what was going to be said in a pm can be said here?

[feneur]

One needs to post ten posts before one gets access to the PM function, but I guess we could change it to five, I mean we seem to catch spam and ban people before someone has posted ten posts. So yeah, I'll change to five and we can change again if it proves to be a problem in the future

[SMST]

@Kyriakos: I was just about to ask if you had spare time to invest to join a mod project for 0 A.D that I am currently working on alone. It can be found here. (check out the last page for updated factions) It is actually similar to Civilisation in that respect that it includes the whole history of mankind. (it is basically an RTS, however)

I had the idea to ask you because you already have some experience in portraying various building styles throughout the ages. Please tell me whether you are interested or not.

Hey SMST.

Unfortunately my computer crashed a couple of weeks ago, and most of the models you see in my library have been lost. I only have some russian ones, the greek ones, the british ones and some bits and pieces apart from them.

Also does this game need animations for the buildings to be made by the person who makes the building model? Because i know nothing about animation.

What do you mean by "crashed"? If your hard drive was not destroyed physically probably there is a some way to restore information from it.

I think most of buildings do not need in any animation.

Pity. But given that Civilisation has, as you said, smaller buildings than common 0 A.D. scale, there will be need of making new ones, actually, if they are to be used in the mod. There will be also need for more specific buildings.

You could take the general style from your Civ3 buildings, though.

Can I just assume you are interested?

Buildings won't need any animations.
