(ROTE) ===[TASK]=== Storehouse: Cāng Fáng (Han Dynasty)

[Radagast.]

The first more complex 3D model. The wagon prop still is missing.

The reference of epicness was created by Ayakashi:

(all the following research by Ayakashi too)

Another storehouse + wagon reference:

The roof references:

And here my poor try to not let his work be for nothing: This time it's an especially awkward result, probably I have to add colours.

I think the doors and stairstep sizes need scaled up. Other than that, the shapes look cool. I think the footprint should fill out a square better though, like the reference seems to do.

[Radagast.]

You're right, the size ratio is really off. The buildings seem too big to me. I had some problems packing it all in the limited space, though I wonder why I didn't make the houses less wide.

I need to also think of the variation of the props. Thx for the feedback. (Not sure if I can texture it before the end of next week or even later depending on how much trouble the Mod Configurator will generate.)

[Ayakashi]

Oh snap dude this is amazing
Great job on the roofs they look way better than the old rote ones!
Keep up the good work mate!

EDIT: That's a wheelbarrow not a wagon btw

Oh thanks comrade. I have to change something about the tri count. The storehouse has 12 700 tris currently.

The texturing currenlty is a failed experiment. Even the view into the inside of the storehouse looks severly flawed. The UV unwrapping is pretty difficult to handle as long as I apply modifiers too early.

Will reduce tris + texture properly.

Rada : That roof is the issue. Can you use mine ? (House_b )

I would love to use it. The right roof (noble version) apparently can't have such many details in geometry. I like your texture where you added the "rounded roof tile hills" via texture detail.

Perhaps we make your roof a bit more convex via 1 additional loop cut. If noone points out further improvements then we now have a new standardized roof.

[Radagast.]

To be split into parts/props to allow for the tech we want to add to every building: upgrading (for the storehouse we add the second level of the main building).

[Stan`]

Good job old friend. Why is the door so small ? Also, why the texture on the top look like its white ? I also thing the second roof top should be wood not tiles Good job !

[Radagast.]

Sir Stan, I wonder if it's better now.

[Stan`]

Sure, Mind to commit it so I can unify your roofs to all those I modified this afternoon ?

[Radagast.]

I'll fix some glitches + get rid of some polies. Then I'll commit it. It may take a bit as the roof will be a separate mesh added as a prop.

So you can simply drop in your roof (fit it in blender and set the origin to fit the current roof's origin). Then just reference your roof instead of mine in the storehouse XML I'll commit.

Don't worry if you encounter two prop-points for the roof (in the storehouse .dae, you don't have to both with it, just have to know what it's used for):

- One is for the roof's location in the non-upgraded storehouse.

- The other is for the upgraded one.

In the commit will also be a tech for upgrading as announced earlier. The tech will add a 2nd floor.

To test it I need a working Atlas. I hope the SVN-Relax Validator issues are resolved. Will pull + rebuild.

[Stan`]

Come on Irc. Well go on then

[Radagast.]

at last

[Stan`]

Yeaaaah =D

[Radagast.]

Thanks to Ayakashi and Stan for their epicness. Here's the final storehouse model.
