I dont have acces to map editor right now, but none of the palms go beyond 4k, all are between 2 and 4k.

[69_black_69]

Well, ok then. Nice to hear it.
But well, if i were you, i'll remove those spiky things on the trunk. Or create a new one from scratch again.
Unneeded detail just making it worse.

Check your PM, btw.

@down:
Thanks. And guess what, only 1 k polys for that thing.

It's one of the model i made, based on a miami beach lifeguard. Not an expert or anything, just want to help. Tiling textures is actually great, but of course if you got it right.

That lifeguard shed is beautiful

That's a different palm. I'm talking about the screenshot posted by GTARandom. You know, the palm with those spiky thing on it's trunk. How many Polys is that? And i think those palm clearly ruin the Miami atmosphere. Get rid of it and make a new one based on Miami palms. Just remember that highpoly doesn't mean HD. If you're trying to put a 40.000 polys to a game only for the a single palm model, clearly you're a dumb person. ( like PO Trees, sure they're nice looking things, but clearly out of game standards). And instead of using tiling textures for the building, why not try to give it a unique map. So you guys could make a fake shadow, with baking the AO maps or something, so it doesn't looks so dull and flat. It's one of the model i made, based on a miami beach lifeguard. Not an expert or anything, just want to help. Tiling textures is actually great, but of course if you got it right.

QFT,Great job....completely agree on texture mapping point.

I guess Miami would be most realistic

[GTARandom]

Agreed 69. Palms are added by Blaster, he loves trees

Some beach balls for you to play with on Ocean Beach. Inspired by the real life gta goodies



(I couldn't find the artwork where the legs and roller skates were not cut off, thus the 'stretched' texture)

I was too lazy to inflate them.

That's the first time I've ever seen those, where were they used? I also have those art pics, sadly the ones I have don't have the legs either but it looks like a longer view than the one you've used.

I just made them myself one hour ago. I wanted to HQ beachball.dff, but then I came to the idea to do this instead. Still, I will retexture another version that looks like beachball.dff texture.

No I mean where are the original beach balls from? I don't recall ever seeing that Promo Item around here, where were they offered or were they given out at some expo?

[solom]

Nice idea with balls
I show you Vice City Pickups soon. (.sco and pickup model).

[MegaMario1500]

Nice beach balls, Blaster, but where did you get those?

I won a competition once from gtagames.nl,

See here, (I'm Blastov, Blast- er\ov)

Also came with some more goodies (photo not taken by me). I only lost the VCS key chain thing, rest is stacked up safely.

To compete, you 'simply' had to make something gta related, didn't mather what medium it was.

I made a mod, you can still find it here with the rest of the people who won. Actually it's pretty terrible when I look at it now.

[nkjellman]

So they didn't get it officially from Rockstar? I'm sure they took it to a place that could have that stuff custom made.

[quechus13]

Dat Sock..

lol



I wish I had real life stuff like that.

Nice balls by the way you seem to be getting good in modeling blaster.

Looks good. I like how not only are you remodeling it to HD, but your adding more things to make the city more dense.
