Hey guys,

My partner and I (Lih Hern) have decided to work on a new racing game using ogre3d and hope to create a forum post to put up our work and updates in time to come. Anyways we've just started on the player craft high poly model.






Best regards,
Yap.

[oddrose]

man! that's good- (and high poly-) looking!

[nikki]

Cool! Reminds me of Wipeout Pure (and its awesome music ).

[yapdakilla]

Thanks for the replies guys. and yeah nikki we've had some inspiration from the wipeout game series but will be making this racing game with a different twist of gameplay. Once the texturing for this craft is done we'll be extracting shader data like normal maps and stuff for the final in game model. Will post them up here for crits and comments. Cheers!

WTF!!! ... THATS AWESOME!!..

very good models..

keep doing stuff like that

[nitesh201]

*tears* that's beutiful

[yapdakilla]

Btw just outta curiosity, would you guys be interested if the craft models were cool enough to be bought as collectible models?

[Aquatix]

collectible? for what? just to make like a wallpaper? or do you mean to use in some other project (in other words, you are making a model to use in your game, but at the same time selling it to others). If the later, then it all depends upon the price and the quality of the mesh (not the visual, but how well it's optimized, since after all we are working real-time here).
Or do you mean making those plastic models, like toy soldiers? err, in this case it would depend upon the brand, I guess.

[yapdakilla]

Hi Aquatix, I was referring to the toy soldier type collectible. But thats not important .We do however hope to release a playable demo within 4 months though since we're working part time on this project.

3d printers are awesome. Don't think they can colourise them yet but still. Anyway looking really good

[SiENcE]

Look very promising.

Mh yes 3D Printers are nice. A Friend of mine develops 3D Applications for 3D Printers. Sometimes in future, they want to develop a sharing system like open source but for 3d prints. If someone shares his 3d raw datas, he can have one midsizes model for free .

[nitesh201]

wait are 3d printers how games get their collectible models?

[SiENcE]

Normally i's called a rapid prototyping machine, but it's common name is 3D printer. You can "print" a real 3d model out of a cad mesh.

I don't wan't to hijack this thead . If you have further questions, please open another thread.

[Kirkof]

WOW ! 3d printing looks promising ..

[Alexander]

It would be promising if it were new I suppose.

[RobG]

WOW. That is one awesome model! Nice job guys! It's about time we start seeing some some good looking next-gen ogre projects. I'm very keen to watch the progress of this game. Keep it up!

[cybereality]

Now thats what I call a 3d model. Holy crap man.

[yapdakilla]

Hi guys heres a small update on the low poly version with normal maps.

[master123467]

whats the poly count?

[yapdakilla]

hi master123467. the polycount is at 9224 polygons.

[JohnJ]

Wow, that's an amazing model. So much attention to detail . Nice work on the low poly version too - it looks just as good as the original, except a few parts around the edges (which is to be expected with a low-poly model).

[sinbad]

Gorgeous. Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

[Virion]

The low-poly version looks nice. Hmm, just curious, 9k wouldn't be a little too high-poly?

[yapdakilla]

Hi Virion. For racing games like need for speed its normal to have cars in access of 10,000 polygons.

Anyways heres an update on the craft textures. Will be exporting it to ogre and working on the level soon.

[Jabberwocky]

The low-poly version looks nice. Hmm, just curious, 9k wouldn't be a little too high-poly?

9k for the main model in a racing game seems reasonable to me.
