I am making a DoD:s map.

[Psy]

I just tried making it using a arch. I can confirm that this is in fact, voodoo magic.

[Rick_D]

take that low poly version of the bridge - copy it to either side, select all the faces of all three "bridges" and then subdivide

[Grippy0]

A friend make for my dod_snowblind some displacements towers :

I will ask him how he did.

Orangebuilding ?! You are crazy

I use the option 2 in general :roll:

[MrBaracuda]

They just created regular geometry and converted it to displacement for the bridge

That building eventually got cut, though.

Nope, thats not how they did it actually.

Here it is destroyed.........

WTF?

if you think about it it's an interesting way of vertix editing.

what does the roof look like destroyed?

lern 2 subdivide newb

[Sentura]

lern2sbdvde you mean

i stnd crctd

[JeanPaul]

I already told you guys

ITS NOT SUBDIVIDE

[Bic-B@ll]

i already told you it's voodoo magic. get over it.

[Zeta]

I already told you guys

ITS NOT SUBDIVIDE

yeah because im not using subdivide all day long atm.

I can't speak for the roof as ive not seen its destroyed form but there's a 99.9% chance it is subdivided. The bridge arch was 100% created in that way

I don't even get why that bridge is displacement in the first place but whatever

[MrBaracuda]

interesting

Okay okay, so did you subdivide a MUCH wider version and then just clip off the wider parts? Or how did you do this? EXPLAIN PLZ

On another note, I have another question to ask you guys, I started orangemapping last night and so far I have the bridge part of the map (main centerpiece) mapped length wise..........BUT its 4096 units long! Is that too long? Keep in mind that there will be huge mounds of rubble a fallen buildings blocking most of the view, but is that too long for one straight road?

Its up to you. Sounds pretty long. Just throw a big freakin box around it, throw a few lights around, compile, and go run around on it. If it seems too big, make it smaller. At least thats what I do because my perception of space is awful. 90% of the time I compile its because I don't know if something is too big or too small(usually too big, I always make things too big ).

I am also not sure why they made the bridge a displacement. I would have brushed it personally, but hey.. what do I know. I'd just make a cylinder on its side with twice the desired number of segments(in this case, 32), then vertex manipulate boxes until they're as close to the vertices of the cylinder as possible. But then again, I suck.
