Final for today. Since you can't really see if the train tracks are suspended mid-air or on the platform I took some artistic liberties :)

See you guys later and may the force be with you.

Daytime

>>11373
oh wait, that was nighttime.

This is Daytime..

I'm getting tired ;)

i'll do bit in pink

Want to join in?

Mark your section in red and re-upload the image.

No textures, purely modeled. limit of 20,000 triangles (not quads!) per person/object.

>>11383

For those who were asking, this was made in SketchUp.

>>11372
Nice one!

Good night

>>11386
sorry :)

i need to calibrate the colours on this monitor, they're in pantones still

>>11391

/mu/tant here, just checking out the boards, and I just wanted to say I love you guys for this.

>>11405
Wouldn't be where we're at without music.

c00l

wow some of you guys are really good at this :)
i am still a beginner so i hope i dont screw up :P

i ll try to finish my part till saturday/sunday

I would get in on this, but I have my own projects to worry about at the moment. But this looks like it's going to be loads of fun!

>>11451
especially for the guy who has to texture all of this

>>11422

>Wouldn't be where we're at without music.

>>11455

Shouldn't be too hard with a paint over. Quite some work, but the textures are mostly fairly simple.

>>11458

No, no. It makes sense. To me anyway. That's how I spend my time modeling; peacing out to music.

>>11465

Yeah? Alright. So?

>>11458
>>11468
You stop being hot in my screen now!
Thanks.

This is awesome, I am in love with this board.
Best thing to happen to 4chan.

>>11477

Slow down there tiger.

>>11484
i am not your tiger, buddy!

>>11494

I'm not your buddy, pal!

Posting my second section. Did it in SketchUp

Did you gals and guise agree on scale?

>>11502

We decided that whoever combined all the models will have to scale to personal taste. I'm trying to scale my models to the dimensions I think they would be IRL.

>>11496
i am not your pal, mate!

I have to ask, are you modeling this as a full 3d scene that can be rotated or are you interested merely in this particular angle?

>>11512

No, we're planning to make a navigable 3d environment. Like a game.

>>11512
I think the main idea is to copy the image here.

>>11516

Tits. I cleaned up the back sides of my models. >:|

>>11516
wat. I planned on not making much detail because I thought we're focusing on original angle.

>>11516

Are you kidding me? This shit looks hard enough as it, let alone if it were a 3d environment. I don't want to even think about how you'll texture it. Then there's the fact that you have to use your imagination for things that aren't visible, and when 30 different imaginations conjoin without proper communication, you have a clusterfuck.

Don't be stupid.

WAAAT

I already deleted my model and started over?

thanks for having good ideas guys, id REALLY like to help with this sick piece of artwork but I have to modle a char by tomorrow and then prolly pull an all nighter the next day for my dynamics class. maybe there will still be some left

>>11536

Claiming my turf. My color is now dark-purple.

>>11502
This is a question I always had on my mind about 3D for a game, do you make the models any size you want and then uniform scale to match the model of other artists? Or 3d max has real word units?

I WANT TO PISS ON YOUR PETS

>>11570
>>11570

FUCK FORGOT MY PICTURE

>>11567

In games, it is fairly important that they're all the same scale when they're imported in the engine (so they don't have to be rescaled afterwards by programming). But apart from that, it's little hassle to rescale.
Mostly a set scale is agreed upon beforehand. It's also important because the scale tells how large the details should be and such, mostly a reference model is used for this (ie. human model).

These remind me of those little mini-city BRIO toy sets I used to play with when I was a little kid

>>11581
Thanks, do you work in the game industry?

>>11591

Did some small jobs, know some people that work in the industry.

BAMP

put this together.

anyone know where these 2 go?

hey guise.. leave something for me plox.. will mark what i'll do in a few

>>11648
Hehe, the one on the right is a doodle I made, it's not for the scene. I was wondering what I could potentially make.

>>11651

It could be used as filler though.

btw, i got an idea..
screen-record yourself working on the project.. it doesn't have to be the full length, just a few pieces.. somebody should mix and youtube that shit.. it'd be epic

>>11654
Oh, then by all means use it. Gimme a shout if you want it rerendering from a different angle or something.

That ball in the upper left corner should be fairly easy to do, even for beginners.

>>11658
Interesting.

>>11660

Actually we're going to put our models in .obj format on Mediafire or something, and then one person will combine all of them.

>>11666
Just tried to open the file and it keeps crashing. Eep.

>>11658
This is looking nice guys! You should inform the original artist too when your done. I don't know who it is but I know someone on /w/ knows.

Should i keep putting the new models over the image?

marked mine.. middle right building in background

>>11690
It's nice to see progression, so that's a yes from me.

>>11690
nice

yes please continue (if more comes)

but then god said, who's going to do the fucking people?

>>11690
I don't think one would be able to fit thing easily in the end... But its lokking nice, individualy.

>>11690
maybe skew them a bit so they fit in better

>>11714
thats the point

to have some fun :)

>>11724
im fixing it up.

>>11732
>>11732

Updated mine for you. Bottom left

going so slow, comp sucks..

il post it at 8 or 9pm pacific time

>>11742

same here, here is a better ferris wheel for the comp, lemme know if you need an alpha

marked mine!

Just want to say, although I have almost no 3D modeling experience, what you're all doing here is pretty commendable. Hope this goes somewhere. :D

hmm is someone using blender?

hey guys, I did a quick camera map, I got pretty close using a focal length of about 320 (keep in mind though my aspect ratio .54.

>>11809

while that is pretty close, why are you cam mapping? we're not texturing remember?

Hi all, cool project always wanted to do one of these after seeing the Minas Tirith (sp?) project on CG Talk a few years ago. I'd be willing to do the top left background area, but it'd have to wait until the weekend. So if no one takes it by then, count me in.

Cheers

>>11814

just to try and get it to scale

>>11818

ah okay, gotcha

i claim the little wheel near the top, in light blue and with my name

I suppose the guy who puts it all together will do the texturing?

It would be really cool if this was faithfully textured and the final product was exported for 3d glasses though.

lol whoops, the peice i claimed is literally just a cylinder, so i claimed the thing next to it with the planes. Ive gotta go, heres the wheel. it took me 2 mins. If someone wants to color the plane thing forme, that'd be great

>>11772
>>11809

Both of these are VERY cool. IT would be a shame if the textures went to waste too.

>>11852
looks like a half-ass projection map to me (no offense to the modeller)

>>11858

hehe, it was indeed a half assed job, I can't figure out the focal length exactly but I'm getting closer.

>>11858

Who cares if it's a projection map if you're going for the same angle as the original?

I'm going a little alpha map to get a few things looking like I wanted to them without wasting too many tris on them, I hope that's okay?
Shouldn't be too much of a hassle to implement.

Nearing 3000 tris now (not everything cleaned up yet though). Trying to get as close to the ref as possible, some parts are still just roughed in. Good fun.

>>11869

I feel like adding in the little characters too btw, they're fairly simplistic.

>>11866
Then it's fine - I guess, but not everyone is modelling to it, so there's no damn way everything is going to line up nice to put the map over the whole thing (and what would be the point of that anyway?)

Sauce on this picture? Artist Site?

>>11878

... wait, what? Isn't that the whole point? The plan was to basically copy the scene as faithfully as possible, only in 3d. At least that's what I gathered.

>>11886
Dunno, you'd have to ask op. I'm just lurking. Nifty project either way, just not much practical use outside of practice. (unless you were going to comp in elements like say, for an animation)

>>11882

Feast on this in the meanwhile.

http://www.danseagrave.com/

are we, uh going to download them and make a model?

I hope no one bitches at me for getting a little creative, it's really hard to see whats going on in this part of the model.

>>11925
WHAT THE F MAN WE DIDN'T AGREE ON THAT


na just kidding looking good man keep it up :) Looks like a pain to map that though :P

I sure hope as hell someone will actually put a textured scene up. Otherwise - no offense - but I don't really give a shit about you doing practice.

I can do music if you'd like.

>>11925
Sorry bro, but I will have to criticize something because your creativity completely changed what was at the end of that bridge. What originally was a house on top of another house with both of them atop of what looks like a store or a bar, turned out in your design as a single taller house, the second house is just a block of concrete, and the store/bar turned into something circular with an entrance...

Also my bad if that's not the finished project. Just thought I'd point it out since it looked sort of out of place...

>>11962

I'll see what I can do, but if you look at the original picture, you can see how small that area is in relation to the rest of the picture.

>>11966
Indeed. Though those are as I said out of place in my opinion. Everything there's neatly detailed and the circular building with the concrete structure above it ... looks as I mentioned out of place in there.

since someone grabbed what i was gonna do, i'll take this. It's yellow with mah name

>>12022
damn it's hard to tell detail... day OR night :<

>>12076
me again.. here's what i have so far gonna go in and add doors and balconies and whatnot as i can figure them out :P

>>12022
Everything easy is taken already.
I can't believe I missed these threads, otherwise I would've gladly taken something easier and bigger.

My contribution is marked with T and bright blue.

I might take something else later, but I doubt my skills are up to it.

Things are progressing amazingly well.

I wonder how the background will be tackled.

Also traffic. Use stocks?

You guys are amazing. This board may actually end up being awesome if you guys keep this up.

It was hard with the different perspectives.. :/

i'l add more models as they come.

I took the liberty of numbering everything. We're over 20 people now. I guess number 21 and 22 are the same owner but whatever.

The idea is to keep track of your number, so later when you send in your files you can just name it after your number and the people who put it together will know what's what.

We will also know the number of people working on this, and if we want to make a note to anonymous we can define the object by number.

I just took number 23 myself, i want to ask number 1 if i can have the dotted pilar area, since it's part of the bigger thingy. You could take the bridge which belongs to your industrial railing thing? Never mind if you've already modeled this part :)

Thanks everyone.

>>12106

I see this is already made, nice :)

>>12111

>Move

wait 15 second

>click

wait more...

>Layer

FUUUUUUUUU

took forever...

I notice that some of the freeways are actually waterways
with houseboats and barges. I'll give you guys a pro-tip,
download a program called Freeship, its specifically designed
to make boat hulls, and then export to .obj

lightbluehere - how is everyone going? i just got home so im starting now.

>>12108
oh damn picture isnt loading fast :/
i guess im 21-22.

I'm not much of a modeler, more an animator but this is too cool.

I'm just gonna do this little sign I painted pink with green polkadots

#2 reporting in. Fuck waiting for the weekend, going to get started tonight!

>>12169

I'm going to finish my homework before I get started on this.

>>12169
Bottom houses are done/being worked on as shown here >>12106. I suggest someone color those off as well just in case anyone might redo them by mistake.

Hey fellow n/3/rds

I have just finished pirating Maya 2009, and am wondering if it is okay to block maya from it's connection online.

would I be missing out on updates and possible goods?

>>12245
I'm still on 8.0, but i've tried 8.5, and 2009, so i'd say no. The core functionality remains the same.

>>12258
thanks bro

just fixed wheel.. night.

I decided to take on a task!
i circled my objects in white, can anyone confirm the one on the right is a cable car?

circled in white here, Im retarded and forgot pic

>>12296
I think it is, it's attached to a rail and it looks like somebody is in it.

>>12296

just looks like it goes around in a circle...

anyone know who artist is?

>>12323
You're seeing less than a quarter of the structure, it could come from any direction and go in any direction, have some imagination.

Only had a little bit of time to work on my piece today but I will have it done by the weekend.

>>12089
Mine's just about done.
What format should I upload it as?

>>12323
Danbooru says it's this guy:

#2 Reporting. I pissed away a good hour and a half trying to get a matching perspective camera rig setup before I started. Didn't turn out too well, so I'll be ball parking it like everyone else. I might not be able to get to work on this until Saturday, so if someone wants to take over, go ahead, I haven't gotten far yet.

To all you guys making parts with the boats, could you leave the boats to me? I'm really in the mood to model some boats.

i suck at modeling, but i love these threads!! this warms my heart..

i have to go now, but how will i be able to see the result?

>>12088
you stole my part :(

>>11691

>remember bros:

[spoiler]NO TEXTURING, EVEN ALPHAS![/spoiler]

If you weant to add some small details, use polies - it doesn't matter if you stray a few hundred over the 20k limit.
Better to have purely meshes, it will be way less complicated to set things up in the end if we don't have a shitload of tetxures to worry about.

PS. here's something from the original thread:

no textures, purely modeled. limit of 20,000 triangles (not wuads!) per person/object.
you will host your .obj at rapidshare/megaupload/etc/etc

compositing/rendering done by whoever weants to do it. then we can get some of the concept artists/whoever to draw over the top of the render.

>>12468
yay for failing miserably at [spoilers]spoilers[/spoilers]

>>12470
[spilloir]lol[//sioplere]

wow frog. [spoiler]you almost got it[/spoiler]

will model #23 later today.. don't fucking steal it

sorry man :< didn't see a tag on it :<

hey guys, im #21 and the yellow tram/train down bottom left, whta number is that? just for future reference? the picture wont load for me

>>12468

Well in case anyone's interested I did manage to save the old thread manually. Got it as three big pictures that catch the entire thread, and as a web page just so the images wouldn't be lost. Soo yeah I'll up it to mf or something if it's needed. Also I'll archive this as well once another is made. Damn, not having easymodo is a pain.

>>12488
i mean bottom right, fuck australian internet

>>12488
the tram is 20

Mr. 6 & 7,
Is it okay if i do the little house + the cable car?

>>12502
cheers man. so im #20 #21

damn, i'm just itching to join in with you bros, i really need to get around to update my maya to 2010 and rid myself off this laziness and procrastination. hope this project stays till the weekend.

>>12510
I am doing the big green thing - so yeah feel free to do that. I left that alone purposefully :3

lol this will never get done. 4chan never completes anything together.

any suggests about the speaker?

>>12521
obviously you havent seen an /ic/ collaboration.

>>12520
Awesome!

it would be fine if someone deletes the areas taken with photoshop, so onyone who cames here can select some part more easily =3

>>12526
I would make it longer, and then try and define the lip a little more.

would look nice if you added a bit of warping/deformation to the metal, as if it has had a hard life, up there rattled by the wind and rain and baked in the sun.

when you connect it to the base, I would consider adding in some wires (easily done with the line tool) and a few little details like bolts and such.

>>12554

ofcourse, i will add the smaller details and lines. there is still much to do. any tips on making it more like the picture? more... curved?

Back from the dead, guise! Amazing progress you've done overnight, I must say o.o

So... A new day, a new piece!
I'll upload my model after a few minor tweaks :D

why.. why are there two 23's?

lol this is so chaotic - it's awesome :P

>>12659
i have just downloaded it, weee :D

>>12739
Don't ask me xD
I tagged mine 25 & 26 (25 is done) so one of them can take 24. Someday.

>>12739
24 took a day off


ALSO PLEASE ALWAYS CHECK THE UPDATED PICTURE

>>12770
WHO ARE YOU???

>>12719
you forgot my second part, I marked it in green, no.27

>>12801
Oh, really?

>>12475
#23 reporting in...

I kindly changed your number to #24, as #23 was already taken on the purple thing on the left.

Hope you don't mind.

<- Updated pic, last one is #27. Use this one to continue.

>>12835
And here's the picture..

>>12801>>12510
Can someone add me?
Also, do we have a deadline?

>>12169
I forgot Mr. Polkadots.
You sir, are #28 now.

Back to work :)

>>12847
Casey's area is missing in there, bro.

>>12848
>>12842

I see, adding these two.

How did i forget Casey o.O

There. Everyone's got a number now. Remember it.

Add one if you want to play with us.

>>12847
Update, i'm no. 29

I always start laughing maliciously to myself when AT spam gets removed.

>>12860>>12851
Heh, sry bro, uploading took forever..

Wow, coderfag here, not 3D at all, very cool thing you guys are doing.

>>12875
4chan fuck yeah!

>>12865
Perhaps we should lower the image size/quality.

>>12861
You know what? i'll take the screen as well.
Anyway.. i should be modeling

holy shit
this thread has potential

Holy shit guys.

This is amazing. I can't do anything other than code, or else I'd help, but this is great. I can't wait to see the end product.

hey guys is there a deadline?!?!?

ill try to finish my part (9) till sunday

>>12893
take time to give quality

>>12893
no deadline, we'll just add parts as they get made

>>12899
Exactly - we will keep building stuff until there's enough posted up here to start putting it all together!

>>12898
>>12899
>>12902
okily dokily

Hoooly shit, I think I might have gone overboard.

>>12916
lol

For us newbie modellers would it be ok if we built stuff like the cars on the roads and the smaller filler details?

>>12916
I sure hope you didn't do that manually :P

Duplicate special..

>>12924
That would be great :)

>>12924
Knock yourself out.
Just make sure to mark what you are doing on the pic so the one who's gonna put everything together can see where your piece goes :)

>>12860
>>12860

This is the up-to-date version btw. Someone still has to add the guy below my post.

>>12933
What if i'd just add casey to mine?

Done

>>12089
THAT WAS MINE YOU FAG

ehh whatev, ill do something else

What is the consensus on using Solidworks for this???

should i use blender or 3dsmax

>>12984
Does SolidWorks export to .obj and convert to polys?

>>12984
Use whatever you want, as long as you can export to .obj. We're going for tris only in case you missed that.

"No, the perspective is perfectly fine!"

>>12986
God damnit.

>>12992
>>12996
i guess blender is fine then, right?

>>12984
I'm not sure, but I think exporting from Solidworks to an .OBJ format makes the model more complex, as in having more polygons.

>>12997
Sure, blender is fine. Don't bother learning 3ds max or maya. Stick with that.

>>12992
Yep I caught that, just need to make sure i can meet the end goal.

>>12998
Gonna try it out on some stuff already drawn and see what happens

I'll keep ya'll posted, this looks like a blast!!
Keep up the good work either way guys!

>>12998
SolidWorks is a "solids" modeler which is sort of a hybrid
of nurbs. Nothing wrong with using a nurbs app as long
as it converts to polys well. You might have to clean it
up if it makes too many polys

>>13000
>>12986


please dont start a flame war

you guys can use whatever the hell you want

>>12984
>>12984
whatever, as long as you can export to an obj at least

redid the wheel

Imma check out how SW plays with .obj

I would really love to help out here...

btw

did someone archive the original thread?

id like to create a video that shows the progress of this collab project but i couldnt save the thread

normally i use firefox extension Abduction but i couldnt do that yesterday so yeah......pretty please?

>>13018
The previous threads may be still roaming around in the older pages.

>>13000
why blender particulary?

are you a proffessional of 3D arts?

>>12493

This dude has it all:
>>13018

>>13021
stop

we have this discussion every day
take it outside and leave this thread alone

thx

>>13023
>an intellegent person on /3/
>obviously not from /b/


you sir, made my day

>>13000
Fuck, turn off your blender, I can't hear you.

>>13023
agreed. stop wasting posts with fucking blender discussion.
we stated that .obj is the end goal - if you work in something that can't export to .obj then and only then are you fucked.

everything else... is fine.. use whatever the fuck you want to use.
troll somewhere else with blender shit.

>>13018
A progress pic for the crowd :D
Make note of the insanely bent ferris wheel! Not to mention the near-impossible light setting that makes it look straight anyway! :D:D:D

>>13022
wow thx

to the person who saved the old thread
if you read this could you please upload everything in a zip file so that i can download it, pretty please :)

>>13028
:)

>>13035
saved :)

BTW does anyone have the original pic before everyone started calling dibs on it??

>>13058

how the hell is this supposed to all come together

Some new renders~
First, the whole thing:

>>13064
...and then a close-up

>>13066
Good work! The pipes/wires really adds flare to the whole thing :)

>>13063
a lot of resize/rotate and squishing

>>13067
yeah, I wanted to add some details because the reference is seriously small and all the detail comes from the texture of the concrete

>>13070
If someone makes a map out of this I'll snipe from there all the time >:D

>>13074
Perhaps /g/ will some day. Let's finish the modeling first though lol

>>13066
great stuff, i liike the warping on the top part - the misalignment of edges and so on. perhaps you should follow that through into the concrete support as well - chamfer the edges and give them some variation.

I'll do the part marked in orange (31).
What are we supposed to do when we're finished?

>>13091
how about an orgy?

>>13096

Sounds good to me, but I was thinking of whom to send the file to.

>>13098
zip it and upload it

post link here :)

>>13099

Okay, thanks.
It doesn't have to be one single closed mesh, does it?

>>13066
p. enis what program is that?

number 8 reporting in, just have a quick question, how am I to fit the structure to #7, wouldn't it be better if #7 did the whole structure and I stuck to the ferris wheel and road (including supports)

>>13125
i'm #7 so if you want i'll just build that whole thing, sure

>>13106
nope, can be as messy as you want.

>>13130

thanks for understanding, I was just wondering because the bottom has pipes leading into your part. If I had made them it might not have fit, thanks again.

If you guys finish this, it could be awesome

what is it going to end up with

I have little doubt you'll create all the elements, but I have serious doubts about the finished product. Will it be textured or not? Will it be drawn over?
