(Aristeia)===[TASK]===Civic Center

[Stan`]

Just curious, Stan, how did you create that render?

It's two beige lights, one casting ray traced shadows. Both are omni.

Also 8k Poly's is a bit too much for trees only. Maybe statues instead?

Maybe, but that may also look weird.

Ok we count props and the building separately

The Torres have many?

I think you meant "Towers" : 170 each.

And the dogs?

Dogs : 580 each

The carpet are from 3third Millenium BC .

You want carpets ?

[Lion.Kanzen]

Sorry ipad corrector on(esp). I mean trees

[Stan`]

Trees : 940 each

[sanderd17]

Here is the one propped. Only issue 12K tris ( 8 * 934 for trees )

Are those trees you made, or trees from the game? You can normally reuse models from the game for this purpose. And if the game can make a forest with those trees, it should be able to render 8 of them on a big building.

They are from the game and will be drop propped. Though, I wonder, will they be animated ?

[Radagast.]

Though, I wonder, will they be animated?

Wow, I sign this. Animations shouldn't performance lag, even though I don't know if the Renderer has more problems with rendering out plenty colour changing pixels or not. If it does ray-tracing perhaps -- but no, it should be okay performancewise to have them animated. Even settlers had them animated -- and with birds and butterflies in there.

They are animated (Leaves are falling, and the tree shakes. No death animation though), if you use glsl, when they are separate objects, but I wonder if they do so when used as props.

[Lion.Kanzen]

They are from the game and will be drop propped. Though, I wonder, will they be animated ?

no for now, for performance, xD

[sanderd17]

If they are from the main game, they'll just inherit all animations from it too.

@lion, there's no problem with animated forests, and the animation is disabled by default, only activated in the high quality mode. So I don't think there's a problem.

[Stan`]

Thanks Sanderd

@Lion... Then there is no issue. I'll try to upload it here when XML will be done for it.

[Lion.Kanzen]

Perfect. The concept of this palace is a beatiful provincial palace with plants , dedicated to the Pharaoh.

you committed this?

[Stan`]

I can ´t commit. This is complicated. You can though the file is in the zip

[Lion.Kanzen]

Give to niekt he can commit

[Stan`]

I ´ll be busy today ask him.

[Lion.Kanzen]

Ok.

[niektb]

Just to be sure, this is the civic center from the Egyptians?

[Stan`]

Yup

[niektb]

May I ask which kind of palms are used?

Also I noticed some glitches in the palm base (similar to as if the faces are duplicate.)

Lastly I noticed a couple of verts óutside the texture space.

[Stan`]

Palm A I think
