Attached pic is the original daylight version.
Source is http://tksn.web.infoseek.co.jp/notebook/img225.htm
Author calls himself 'Imperialboy'.

Attached pic is the original dawn/nighttime version. Source is the same as above.

Attached pic is an edited version; ambient lighting was removed (using retinex filtering), to give a better view of details, and to aid in possible (later) texturing, as the colors are clearer.

Attached pic is one of the latest renders.

Polycount just below 400.000.

That's lookin pretty fucking awesome

is this just an art piece or is it being used for something else?

wow, that's really coming along. keep up the good work.

>>138102

have you considered upping the skew box and maybe pulling back a little bit on the intersection context? I feel it would fall in line more with the original piece

any chance anyone can save the file in 3ds max?
Apparently 400k tris is to much for max to import.
Anyone else have this problem?

Forgot to mention:

Finished pieces, archived threads and a nearly-up-to-date version of the compilation (all as .obj files) can be found at mediafire.com/3collab02

>>138119
Probably just a piece of art.

>>138121
I did not render this pic. Also, i don't get what you try to say (i'm not natively english-speaking), could you please describe it some other way?

>>138121
render was intended to bring out distant detail,
many of the pieces aren't quite done or need tweaking, so i wouldn't worry about concept matching yet.
great job so far guys looks badass

ive been following this. but got in too late to really contribute.
would anyone be terribly offended if i redid 06+55
ive actually already started. and mine is much better than this.

ok I seriously want to do #14 and the stuff below it including the bridge

How do we know that the ppl who reserved these pieces are actually still working on them?

>>138200
i'm actually working on 6+55 at the moment, but feel free to continue working on it, I'm just doing it for the practice cause i'm really not to great at modeling

06+55 status
started yesterday
hoping to finish today
could original 06+55 post updates?

the fan.....

the top of the structure 18 isn't right, the fan is "inverted" and the roof it's not like that

but it's still a good job, just correct that

>>138504
/wg/?

>>138506

sorry but i don't understand you

>>138512
I don't think you do anymore, but did you find this thread from /wg/?

>>138427
>>138504
read the footnote on the OP's pic

do realise that some modifications need to be made when going from 2d - 3d

>>138559

oh, okay, sorry
btw i'm too excited with the results, keep working!

>>138425
the staircase is a little steep, don't you think?

I hope you guys can finish this soon that way
we can start another that's more organised than this

>>138851
why don't you help with the organization?

>>138851
still it's nice to see this project slowly come to life no matter what

>>138956
I'd be glad to if more ppl would work with me
we should really finish this first though

http://www.mediafire.com/?fohj5gix5vc95cb

it's not perfect but it's not too bad either.
either way i'm not working any more on it, lol.

camera 3 is the closest i got to the same view.

>>139121
what did you have in mind

>>139213
also, i did 06+55. going by "namefag" from here on out.

>>139215
I haven't put much thought into this yet
I only have a couple ideas as to how to do this differently
like I said though we should finish this first then think about what's next

>>139213
would you please convert your part to .obj? Max is not really of any use for people without Max.

I'm impressed frankly. In the future I'm going to jump in on one of these. Looks like fun and good practice

claimed 31.

>>139543
can't find 31...where is it?

Im gonna participate when Im back from Holland next week.

>>138090

Not sure if you whoever's maintaining this project has gotten my ferris wheel. So I am gonna repost it again.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7DR3K519

Can some one put up some github repo or something?
Co we can track what is done and what is not?

Claming 4
I am doing 4, but it is hard, b/c it was like 2 years ago did any blender work at all...

I realy need a better picture of the flying tram...

>>139619
oh scratch that, I did not read the first post... =_=

lurker here, keep it up guys. that render looks pretty nice, good work!

>>139552
>can't find 31...where is it?
dead center, to the top right of the ferris wheel.

>>139556
nice

>>139588
>Not sure if you whoever's maintaining this project has gotten my ferris wheel.
I`m in charge of mf-folder 2. Is your ferris whell the one on the renders? If yes, then yes.

>>139594
>github repo or something?
Probably not. You COULD start one yourself and post it here, but personally, i think that's unneccessary. There is the list at the bottom of the claimpic, so you see what is already completed, and using the archives of the previous two threads, you can see how long the 'open' parts have been claimed, then, you can easily guess which part will probably be completed soon, and which will not.

Heres the obj

>>139626

I haven't seen my Ferris Wheel be rendered yet, so I assume it hasn't been used yet.

>>140577
this not your wheel bro?

lets keep the ball rolling on this.
OP, what do you need from us?

I decided to uvw map and start to texture my last piece for the fun of it. There is a lot of work left on the texture, I am still working out the basic color scheme I want to use and a good chunk of it is still untextured. After that is all nailed down I can then start to polish the texture to make it look more lived in. There are many signs on the walls that could have anything put on them, maybe /ic/ could create some doodles in the theme of the ref image that could be placed on the signs or people from /3/ could do it. I know we are not to the texture faze yet, so this may all need to be re-textured, but this is more for fun than anything and to see if I have the UVW map set up how I want it. Just posting it to show that some progress is being made some where on the collab. I will probably start to optimize/clean up other peoples work and do the UVW mapping for them sometime next weekend.

We may need to soon start to put unfinished pieces back up for grabs because once again people claim stuff and don't deliver. I am starting to wonder if it is just one troll claiming a new piece every few days with no intention of ever finishing anything he claims. :/

>>140717
really like it dude

> the only reason why /3/ hasn't been closed

ive never been on /3/ but i just gotta say this is an incredible initiative

>>140717
if we can line up the camera and the buildings to match the image nearly perfectly, we could use a simple texture projection to overlay the existing image ontop of the models, no?

>put unfinished pieces back up for grabs
Probably.

>wonder if it is just one troll claiming a new piece every few days
I laughed hard. And then i thought: Fuck dude, this might even be true.

Also, progress.

I went back in time to kill my parents, but my parents never made me so how could I kill my own parents.

>>140776
You were adopted.

>>140776

Luke, I am your father

>>140592

Yes it is. It must have overlapped so I couldn't tell. This is shaping up really nicely.

TEXTURING MUST BEGIN

>>141523
>>141523

>KAY YOU DO IT
[spoiler]LOL[/spoiler]

>>141523
it's not supposed to be textured you shitter.

once the model is done and rendered with a few passes, it is supposed to be given to another board to paint-over and try their hand at it.

>>141740
seriously?
thats stoopid

>>140592
Wow! Fuck wow!

>>141740
No its not
once the modeling is finished then only will the texturing begin

>>141754
This PKR dude or whoever is organizing this, is going to have to set up a fairly strict naming convention with the texture maps or its going to end in tears.

>>141759
I would imagine:
partNumber_roof
partNumber_whatever
Or something like that

>>141760
jesusfuck,
i hope your not going to do it.

my opinion on texturing, some parts will have the same (BASE) texture, walls of the same types of buildings, so OP uploads one texture, people can then go away and texture the said buildings, then give em back to op,
same with roofs, floors etc.

these are just identical base textures, then people would agree on dirt maps/weathering, texture would be selected, upped, people could go away and weather textures, so when given back to op, they all match again.

so it can be shared, uniform, and not all up to one person.

bumping

>>142058
There are no solid answers on how things will be done. Will it be animated? Sure if someone wants to animate some part of it and takes the time to do it, if no one has the desire then that won't be done.

How will it be textured? However someone decides to texture a given piece, maybe people will disagree and multiple people will texture the same piece in different ways. When it comes time to render anyone can download any version of any piece and render it how they want. There are no rules people just do what they want and whatever is produced is free for people to use in anyway they want.

Ok there has been no progress in a while, people claim stuff then never finish it. I am going to start work on claimed but unfinished pieces. I am going to do piece 07 and piece 11. I will wait three days before I start to work on them and if in this time the people working on these show work in progress shots of their piece then I will back off from these pieces and choose some other unfinished piece.

I suggest to anyone else who wants to do something to take a claimed piece and after a few days if no one has shown proof that they are indeed working on it to start the piece they took over.

my vote is that we require all texturing to be multi/sub object matte colors. i mean it would fit the piece pretty well, and this could avoid spending several gigabytes on maps for all this. i mean really, IMAGINE the maps.

>>142537
My vote is 'project from view'
job done.

i'm gonna start working on 02. if i don't report back, i got tired of it.

wish me luck.

>>142537
512 maps since they'll most likely be small

roof over the big globe thing is wrong. also, i'm still working on part 2. for now at least. gotta go to bed soon... 12:30 in LA.

>>142540
first off, damn this forum's slow. my post was the last one on the biggest thread on here and it's been 12 hours. whatever.


and anyway, 70 parts with 512 maps each, and some of them probably should get higher res maps since they're so big, it would still be a fucking lot of texture.

also, bumps? normals? alpha channel?

i'll post some pictures of 02 as soon as i get done with the big pieces and can begin little bits.

It is best to paint the textures at a high resolution, it only takes a few seconds to scale them down to a lower res if needed but they would have to be repainted if you wanted to make them larger.

first question on 02.... should i spend the polies on actually making circular holes in this bit, or just put black spline circles on either side of the support things so it looks like it? it's gonna be pretty small in the render i think we could get away with it.

>>140760

that's gonna be impossible. the original drawing doesn't quite follow perspective, or at least not withought fucking retarded buildings. piece 02 for example, that curved up roof crap on top of it all, should be at an almost 50 degree angle to the ground. and the whole building's tilted like 15 degrees. i'm just making the building flat and the roof about 30.... it already has it's sens of chaos from all the pylons and different colors and everything.

>>142648
I don't really get it, but circular holes doesn't sound very pleasing, so probably fake it.

>>142674

this pic. the supports for platform bit of 02 have these arches with circular holes in them. circular holes would cost a pretty penny geometry wise, so i'm considering just putting black circles on the texture. although in retrospect since it's so far off i could just do like 6 sided holes.... would probably look fine.

basically how low or high poly should i make this? whole piece is at almost 2000 tri's atm and it's got almost no detail.

>>142679
It looks to be the same shape as the support I made in piece 30 so you can just use that. You can download it from the collab folder. I don't have the link off hand and don't see it in the thread, maybe someone can post the link.

Someone else might want to take 02... I wasn't getting far on it to begin with but I lost the file not long ago.

Great job /3/. I come back here from time to time just to see if you guys are making progress on this collab. I can see now it looks great, I can't wait to see the completely finished product.

>>142679
fucking A, it didn't get my pic.....

sorry bout that. no more progress since then. i am gonna just punch holes in it though.

you guys need some aplha maps up in this bitch

>>137445

oh my god. you guys are still working on this?

Good work! I would have given up by now...

>>142786
check 89, he already did the support and the platform.

>>142786
it was done in 89, you should really double checked that coloured picture

Ahoy /3/!

I did a quick piece for this collab, it's just a tiny piece, and I don't know if it measures up to the standards, but if you want it here it is:

I've been following this since the original thread. Keep it up guys, a lot more people than you realise are interested in seeing this done.

>>141759
where is he anyway

anyone have a link to the folder with all the files?

>>142725

fantastic. i'll grab it right away.

how detailed should i be making 02? i mean there are fucking tables inside the building, do i model tables? or put cylinders to texture in there? or ignore them entirely? i guess i'll model them, they don't cost that much.

>>142860
well fucking 'a, this makes it even easier... guess i'll download 89 then and see how they compare.... it'll be good, i didn't like trying to decide how wide to make all this.


also, why's there a captcha on this board? shoulda only put one on /b/. we didn't get spam for the most part...

sorry bout this, but fuck it.

here's what little i've done on 02. my job is prop creation for short TV spots. pretty random shit, but whatever it is i always get handed a giant folder of concept art and beautiful orthographic references. i'm terrible at drawing from a perspective thing.

good luck finding use for that, most of it's shoddy topology and all...

>>143440
this board was 98% spam before the captcha

>>143422
I'm here. Busy RL atm, university, moving out... you know the drill. Will probably report back this weekend.

Bump for intrests!

derp

First time in this forum guys, just lurking.

But in all fairness, as much as I'm sure you all love 4chan, this collab. project would be MUCH better to organize using something else.

Hell, even Google Wave / similar or some shit would work better than this. It'll save so much time and confusion.

Just a quick update to show progress is being made, I will probably texture all the objects in this current render. I still have to do a good deal of work on 11 to get it to line up better and then I will finish off piece 7 before moving on to texturing these bits.

>>144974
no

bump

31 finished and uploaded to:

http://www.mediafire.com/?igbbixi88f93322

And marked as finished.

Number 29 reporting in, decided to give this another try.
Here are some shittier earlier versions.

How's everyone doin' ?

>>146880
the one on the left looks great, one of may favorite looking pieces in fact, good job.

>>144974

But this is a /3/ project. That's the whole point of it. Anyone from 4chan can join in.

hurrrrrrrr

Well colour me impressed, /3/

awesome work /3/,

I remember part 1, i actually started dividing stuff with numbers. Such a long time ago, awesome to see this is still going.

>>147672
wow dude,
you're some oldfag or what?

>>147685
/3/ is still relatively new.
newfag

How long has this been going on? I mean I've been watching fervently on the sidelines since about thread 5 and it feels like ages. I just can't wait for it to be done. It looks so good. I wish I knew how to do this stuff!

can some one put all of parts together, thank you and this is amazing.

ok I am calling this collab officially dead

>>148420
Okay folks, the mayor of the collab has spoken. Everybody delete everything they're currently working on.

Shit like this takes time, asshole. Shut up.

Does anybody have an obj of all of the objects put together?

good shit

Bumpan.

i bump da tread

How long has this dumb thing been going for ? It hasn't gone anywhere...

sorry been really busy with school. I might be able to pump some blood into this project starting next week.

>>144976
texturing?
aww yeah

Impressive work so far. If you guys get to the lighting phase, you gotta do the nighttime version, it just looks a lot more dramatic than the day scene.

>>138093

Fucking amazing guys, keep it up.

/3/ imo needs a rotating header with these collabs like on polycount sometime in the future.

basically this whole project just got ruined by that fag

Christ, this project is still going? Niceone guys.

>>150073
this has been brought up at least once in every thread of this
The modeller felt that it made more sense to have a fan that actually blew into a building rather than through a flat wall

>>150091
I hadn't noticed it untill you brought it up, but yeah it is a bit of an eye sore..
>then again it doesn't even show up in the original picture

>>150118
Then why did he invert the fan covering to be concave? Its architecturally interesting, but seems like a rationalization to cover up a mistake

>>150118

Sense... !?
The concept makes none!

Seriously though, I believe it's better to stick as closely as possible to it rather than changing it to their own accord due to the reason of 'sense'.

That doesn't make any sense.
