We really need pictures or this is not going anywhere. I live in Sydney and I am currently in the busy school year of year 11 so I have no chance to make it to get pictures, so I am waiting on other people for picture but if you say you will post pictures then don't, I can't make anything.

I can put up photos but my computer is about to break so I can do like 2 but not in a zip file....

[chop2332]

Any more photos guys? We really need your help!

[Gazza]

Have you built the things you do have photos for though?

[chop2332]

lscia is working on main street cruiseship would like to work on some batman objects and I have started on the Sylvester Bounce And Pounce and the show stage.

[chop2332]

could someone make some textures for the bounce and pounce? please!

[jakeman398]

I would love to help out but I wouldn't know what I'd be doing... sorry

[chop2332]

Hi, Can anyone get me alot of pictures of the bounce and pounce over this weekend just got an incredible new computer and am ready to continue work!

[jakeman398]

[chop2332]

[chop2332]

Any photos?? Im keen to make something..

[chop2332]

Please help as im about to build the stunt driver set... Could some one use this photo http://www.parkz.com.au/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=2056 and edit it and list the heights/dimensions of the set please!

[Linus1995]

Guys it'd be nice to have an update or atleast some screenshots of whats happening...

Geez mate, be reasonable! Who the hell on parkz is going to have access to the architects elevations where they can take off the height and length dimensions....Yeah, that's right, nobody. Since you are so keen to make this model, how about figuring out this for yourself for a change? You can just go to nearmap, get some aerial images of the set, and then take off approximate dimensions for the width of each building. Then go back to the photo of the set, and then get the height and width of each facade. Obviously due to the fisheye nature of the photo you might have to do some good old fashioned guestimation for the buildings on the edge of the photo. Compare the width of each building on the photo, with the actual dimension off Nearmap. That gives you the scale factor. Then just multiply the height from the photo by the scale factor, and that gives you a good estimation of how tall the facade is in real life. Edited April 10, 2011 by Gazza

Gazza, Sorry I never knew that there was a scale/measurement thing on nearmaps. After spending the whole morning working on measurements, cropping photos and modelling I finally have an update. I have built a bit more than whats in the photo however they dont have textures and look fairly ordinary without any textures. However here you are: comments/criticism

[Linus1995]

That actually looks pretty neat, I think the gap under the Hollywood Stunt Driver Screen to the ground is a bit too small though? Nevertheless thanks for the update, it's good to see visual confirmation that this is still in the works

[chop2332]

I thought the same however its the measurements i work out :/

[jakeman398]

I'd say you need a photo from ground level not the top row of the seating.. was this your only reference? Maybe it then?

[joz]

Just putting this out there: There isn't the correct amount of room under the screen yes, but given the limitations of RCT3 is that really a huge deal? In recreations in RCT3 everything has to be sort of stylised to fit in anyway, so as far as I'm concerned a gap slightly smaller than it should be isn't a worry. For me me I think it looks pretty good, but must ask: is the brickwork around the screen 3D or 2D?

[Gazza]

is the brickwork around the screen 3D or 2D?

2D..Its a photo match texture. PS, if you draw an arc and vertical lines around those archways on the thing that holds the flying car up, you can push pull out slightly, offset, then push pull in, and give it some depth.

I have built a bit more than whats in the photo however they dont have textures and look fairly ordinary without any textures

To be honest, there is an easier workflow you could be using. 1) get that big photo, or any other photo that shows the building you want to model...Crop beforehand Have one photo per building, and basically 2) Import the photo. 3) Explode it! This is the key step. 4) Select this exploded photo and group it. 5) Begin editing the group, first go to Edit face and use the perspective edit tool to get rid of any distortion if the photo wasn't taken straight on. 6) Trace around the front face of the building with the line tool on the surface of the photo. 5) Delete off the excess around the outside. 6) Push pull...this is where the magic happens. Because you imported the photo and exploded it, the texture will go all the way through the model rather than just on the surface. 7) Keep drawing on the front face, push pulling windows in, mullions and window frames out etc etc. 8) Close the group. 9) Profit.

I shall try that tomorrow morning as i will work on it some more then. Gaz, I also thought about adding the depth to the part where the car crosses over however I thought it may be unnecessary poly's to add? Update:

^When you draw the arc, just input a smaller value for the number of sides to keep the number of faces down.
