Meh I spose that's what me issue of updating an old sports car design into a Lemans style car is.

I agree on the wheels, I'll at least try to make the front wheelarches bigger anyway.

[flashg]

Just curious what is the polycount limit in MI cars?

[Cran.]

It's around 5K, like SA cars.

illcom_c1_r10 progress report.



Tonight's job is furnature, paintings, plants, lights and lift (elevator) with Enex point to another interior.

[aad]

Really nice interior you got there Loco_G can you please send me some of those textures i maybe also start on adding interiors to some of my buildings

[Mark]

Looks nice LocO, is that floor just a mirrored copy of the model below it, or is it made using the same technique used in CJs house (cull? Oh i dunno).

Ok my models on hold for the mo, I've had enough. Working on other things than MI now.

like SA cars? wow...
2500-3500 polys with damage for a normal family car

MI cars should have limit as it was before...
GTAuron's car will be the only one with 3-4k

[Mark]

My trains at 5k due to the interior + laziness on optimising, and afaik more recent cars have been aimed at 5k.

If the ability to aim for 5k is there, why not use it? Not even 1/2 the vehicles have been replaced.

Depends. My old PC can handle SA with around 330,000 polys on screen at any one time fairly well, and that PC is slightly below the specs on the back. I don't see why you want it so low poly. I think 4k is reasonable, quite a few of the SA cars touch 3k and the highest poly one I've seen is the Linerunner which is about 3,900.

My bad. I guess I got a lot of mis-information from all those early SA previews, which talked about how there was a 50% increase in detail or whatever.

I somewhat disagree with you on the limits though. What computer setup do you have? Because my old laptop (2.0GHz P4M, 368MB RAM, ATi MR9000) ran Vice City on 1600x1200 with lots of high poly cars ranging from 10k to 100k fine.

[Snow Racer]

for crying out loud... it was never about pc setup...
it was about style and we choose gta so we should keep it since we did a lot of that...
that is why the mod is all about... total TC in gta atmosphere

currently we have boring low poly buildings with boxy look that spoils the view of the mod
but you thinking about adding more polys to some flat looking car that can have lower polycount without changing it's own look and without screwup normals or whatsoever... it will look the same...
but the building will not look the same...
I prefer to have great quality of buildings than 5k cars...
we started to do like gta style then we should finish it in gta style

by gta style I mean close to it

thats it...
too much off topicness
now lets see some pictures of progress...

@GTAuron - any chance you show us the car with some paint job that you have in ava?

Will do soon, busy right now.

SR, what you're missing is that GTA style has evolved over the years of development, and we as a whole decided to update to SA style, did we not? I'd say this pretty much fits in with SA style, just needs dirt or bodyline textures. The only reason the poly limit was set, stylistically, is to keep people from making super-smooth rendermobile cars like you see in the mod showroom - regardless of polycount, I think the Matra fits in with the game, and will even better when it's all textured up SA style and has the ref and spec on it. Performance isn't really an issue with such a low count (relative to the rest of the render scene) especially as there'll only be one in the entire game world at any one time.

Chill out a little, bro. It's Christmas.

[aad]

And you were totaly right on the buildings some do mis out on reality and details i gues a few nicely high ress textures may make a change in the looks of it all but some really stay ordinair cube, i dont say they dont give a nice feeling to myriad but the lach of detail is high on some certain lots and i prefer peopl taking a look at some lots that need imrpovement and actualy do something about it, i actualy did this too with GTI upgrading the low detailed gasoline station without any windows or doors added to the shop and some really unused space at the back of the gasoline station to a pay and spray garage and a tank shop / station which has a better look , more spacefilling then the previus one and its an nice piece of architecture that fits in well with the surrounding atmospehre so it isnt impossible to do something about it we just need time and some ideas. Since i dont have much time but have a lot of ideas i maybe share my ideas with you people and work out some nice thing. For now i will concentrate more on GTI lot filling and for all the other people there are still small lots to fill so if you have something good you may think about of hiring a lot on the GTI mainland.

Thanx for reading this
bye

actualy did this too with GTI upgrading the stupid gasoline station

Thanks for the appreciation aad , btw, am i talking about your stuff like it's sh*t? uhmm no i arent, so plz keep the 'stupid' behind.



Btw, keep up the good work guys.

[aad]

Sorry wauzi i respect your ammount of work for GTI but some lots were really not worth it all and needed updating or tweaking to make them stand out. Your hotels, offices and some skyscrapers are really nice work but the shapes of some really misses out on detail. SO dont mind mine comments it was just my opinion about the looks on how it was before, not that it was bad but really a shop without doors, windows and even a litle detail that isnt something i or anyone else want to have in GTI.

So quality is something we want in GTI i know some of my buildings dont have much quality but i can improve them allong the way and adding details i have done this a lot of times.

So again my excuse for saying your work was sh*t.

Cya

Aad.
